Worth Getting?

You guys think it's worth getting a AEM EMS for a non-boosted civic. I got an 01 coupe w/ nothing but i/e. It's coming out for our cars pretty soon and my friends mom works for AEM and he could get it for $900. That's a pretty good deal considering they're supposed to be over $2,000 when they actually come out. I plan on boosting my civic sometime in the future but nowhere in the near future maybe another year or so. What do you guys think? I'll probably end up getting some DC headers and AEM cams for a discount like that

honestly... it's a huge waste of money to buy it for N/A... especailly for our cars.

Wait till you boost and get one.

I got the aem swapbox, and personally it's not worth getting unless you have a heavily modified engine. But for that price, buy it, and sell it to someone on the site who can make use of it.
