AEM Engine managment system, worth the cash?

CharlesGlenn · 11-09-2009

i recently installed an intake and full exhaust on my 2004 honda civc dx, i have not noticed much of a power difference, but there is better throttle response. i was wondering if anyone had experience with a engine managment system? i was looking at purchasing one but they are kind of pricy..

not worth the few hp you get. those are for cars with engine swaps and turbo.

or maybe even if you just have bolt ons and a head swap with a hot cam, but even then it'd be a stretch.

AEM isn't really worth it unless you get it used.. K-pro on the other hand is great if you ever plan to do any serious mods. If you are just staying with bolt ons, don't bother with either.

what everyone else said. dont expect anything actually from ur civic with a CAI or exhaust... one or two hp gained is all ur gonna get...even if the butt dyno says u just increased 100hp

now i wouldn't quite say that. i dynoed an LX on k-pro at 121 with a short ram, y8 intake mani, and crappy frankenstein 3" exhaust.
