First time out with the AEM

[blackmagic94]

Last test and tune was the first time I drove the car with the AEM EMS to replace the SDS which I had before. I launched at 5500rpm and dumped the clutch and left to a 1.74 sixty, boost did not spool up until i hit the christmas tree. Crossed the traps at 11.9@119mph with a data log showing a peak of 6.5 psi of boost!! Total timing under load was no more than 21 degrees which about 6 degrees less than I wanted. I expect the car to run 11.7-11.8 @123mph once it is tuned in at the same amount of boost. Then I will turn it up and run for the tens hopefully if God willing.

Awesome, man 6psi wow!
Keep me informed, as I'm thinking of buying the AEM from Beau.
Lots of good reviews so far on it!

Yeah its a nice unit,but does take a little longer to crank over.

I just don't know if I need it yet..lol
I ran a 11.9@88 on the breaks at Speedworld on 10psi, and my car runs/drives fine on the chip..
Let me know, those times on those fuel rails for sale..lol

The long cranking issue really concerns me. Guess the PMS stays with me forever and ever.

I don't know if you guys know sean down at lopers but he just got his AEM and he really likes it. He is doing a T67 turbo(i think) on his cobra. BTW Beau's a good guy.

The car cranks in about 3-5 rotations now. We changed the dwell on the coil and its a half the time it once was.

What happened with the SDS..and what is it?

 

[blackmagic94]

I sold the SDS to my friend locally. The SDS was the first stand alone engine managment for the EECIV Fords. It plugs into the stock harness and is controlled by a hand held programmer. It is uses a 3 Bar MAP sensor and the ford sensors, but does not data log. Ok system but very limited to an AEM. The SDS is a kinda like a PMS but better since it doesnt piggy back.

Sounds pretty cool. How hard was it to setup? I will be going with the AEM whenever I go stangalone too.

Well i was quite good at tuning the SDS. The AEM is not easy to learn and I would suggest that you have a professional tune it for you. Luckly for me there is a factory trained AEM programmer who is a good friend of mine in town that has done my tune.
