Thanx for the info mang I just got off the phone with your buddy in repair a couple hours ago and he told me about you posting here.

The coolant thing I noticed that with v1.1 the (Honda 10-1030 only) is not there..it just says Honda only. When you select the check box for that in the wizard it will not stay no matter what if you pull it back up for the honda setting, it will for every other one. That is connected or not to the EMS...just in the software. It will run right with the Mustang setting selected and warn up like it should. Well as far as we could get it that is. With the 1.19 software loaded on the same laptop the 30-1030 only is now availiable in the coolant temp wizard and now the check will stay in place. That WAS using the basemap that came with the disc and looking for one online with no luck. Biggest problem we would have is the coolant issue there, and once the motor turned over the injector pulse went to 0 and cut out the engine. Hope that was just funky hardware seeing as how that was def. part of the problem we know now.

As for the EMS trained tuner....nearest one is 4.5 hrs from here....kinda makes it hard to drive a limp car there, didn't wanna spend $$ towing it. It will all work out tho....been intresting at least thus far.


Guess we will see Friday. Taking off for tuning guys keep it locked here for results, and please pray for my sorry, beaten, tired, broke ***!!!

dayum look at the support we are getting from AEM. this helps me make the decision to actually get the EMS vs. the emanage. i knew it was what i wanted because to rev control and top speed gov. but until now i didnt realize the support that AEM would give. i think its cool DELSOLID works for them and is a member here. not to mention the headaches you could have had if the support wasnt there. i know that the emanage is much cheaper but it also doesnt give all the options the EMS does. so i have made up my mind to use the EMS. with my future tune. now i just gotta save quite a bit more!!!!!

hmm, does the ems make you lose anything.? like options or function of anything in the car.
after buying the ems is there more things you need like harnesses and sensors (like the emanage you need to buy these things)?

ive got the emanage now with all the harnesses and the sensor but i havent installed anything yet and the ems is soundign really really tempting right now.

Talk to Jeff At http://www.streetlevelperformance.co...AEM%20EMS.html .....that is where i get all my stuff.....Great guy and great customer service...not to metntion fast shipping!!! Cost about $1300-1500ish depending on who you get it from. Jeff has the best prices by far tho. He is selling them for $1380 but if you email him or PM him pm here you will probably get a better price.

DelSolid is an unknown quantity at this point
The ebay sellers will give you the finger once they got your money and when you have a question.

Buy from a reputable dealer or you will be sorry.

I only purchase from shops who understand the product and have used it, preferably on the same car I have.

Think about it...

Good advice, for shift *****, go to ebay. For electronics of any sort, go to a certified dealer.

see i cant have that. not to be an *** but this is part of the reason why i waited to see what happend with it. the emanage was a pain to get tuned as well and still didnt offer the advantages the ems does. but i cant wait until some of you are done and i will purchase the ems as well. that way if i need a referrence(sp) i can always pm you guys

^^^^^ Yeah good idea. It sucks to be one of the first. We are like guinea pigs. Other than waiting for the map though i guess its been good. The emanage was fast but yeah it did not offer as much as the ems
