AEM Programmable EMS for CL's

Well first I remember from a while back, that AEM was coming out with something engine management wise for our cars. Then, I went and checked out their website. Here is the best link ... http://www.aempower.com/ems.htm ... then I called them. I got a hold of a guy named Georgie, very nice and informative. He said yes, they are making it for the CL, availability will be February. Retail cost will be $1,868. The short of it is, it replaces our factory ECU. You'll get full control over fuel, air, ignition, shifting, redline, etc. ... NICE !!!

Does this means I can drive with my laptop and configure my car while racing someone like in the Fast and the Furious. Sweet.

yes, but you'd better know what you're doing or you can seriously mess up your car

What about VSA and TC?

That is in the ECU, no ?

$1800 is aboat load of a cash for mod, save the supercharger....
So, I hope the hard core racer will find this mod worth it...

Yeah right, realtime ...

It is nice that it will plug right into the harness in between our seat warmer buttons, so we won't have to run any wires. Once you get the 'charger and level 10 tranny ... this should be your next big purchase ... you can really do some excellent dyno tuning with it.

California users can forget about it (at least at smog check time), since it will not have a CARB #


Also, better find a good tuner. A good "tunable" ECU is like a scalpel -- it can heal or kill!
