Alright.... I was looking at parts, and wondered which one is better for me (down the road, not now). I am aiming at a daily driver with around 350-400hp. Would it be easier on myself to get a piggyback fuel controller (safc II probably), or get a standalone one like AEM? I've heard stuff about DSM link, would that work better?
 
I would personally go with DSM link because it is a better tuning solution then SAFC and also incorporates a data logger. Also it is alot easier to use then a stand alone. Just my .02
 
It comes down to how much you know about tuning and the time you want to invest on getting you car to run on a stand-alone. It can be worth it if you want to invest the time. But it takes hours to do one map. With your current hp goal I would go with the DSM LINK.
