Recirculate your bov, get a maft and a logger, that's all you need with your current mod list.

Depends on what your goals are. If this is a daily driver or at least part time daily driver, I'd recommend DSMLink and a blow thru MAF-t set up. I just installed DSMLink on my car about an hour ago and.... WOW... that's all I can say. Idled perfect, low cruise and decel are so smooth, WOT feels so much smoother and more powerful, and I haven't even touched the tuning tools yet. I can't wait to spend some time with it and find out what she can do.

If you've got an all out race car or a street car making HUGE power a speed density set up would probably be more suited. You'll really just have to pick a goal, read up on both systems, and decide which is best for that goal. They're not really compairable, I think anyone here will suggest the DSMLink for a milder street set up because it's truely plug and play and extremly easy to use as where AEM might say plug and play but it's not unless you're an expreienced tuner. Not to mention AEM cost a lot more.

www.ramchargers.com for the MAFT. And if you plan on getting your car to pass inspection get the DSMLink.

changing ECUs isn't going to necessarily fix a car that runs like shit.

try figuring out what's wrong with your car before being a dumbass and buying an AEM. if you can't fix these problems on your car, the AEM is definitely out of the question, so get the DSMlink, if you must. but i'll say right now "i told you so" when the problems are still tehre.

have fun

You really should goto the DSMLink site, it will answer a majority of your questions and if your still not satified give'm a call. I would before making a major purchase like a new ECU.

Oh yea and don't forget you will still need to locate a 95 E-prom ECU to send to DSMLink for the upgrade.

I'm going to have to agree here. Fix all of your problems before you start modding, and do a little more research before you touch anything. Otherwise 6 months from now we'll be helping you in the Problem Diagnosis forum

Wait, so let me rephrase this... Did a few people just agree that preventative maintenance is a good idea before we modify these old cars?

I never thought that I would see this day
