I'm actually jumping off of the e-manage and jumping on to the FIC. I'm not sure how far people here are from Utah, but my tuner spent over a month figuring out how to tune the FIC with AEM(I guess his partner knew the owner of AEM or something). The eManage definitely has some features the FIC doesn't(though I am not even using nor would on my Greddy kit), but the clamps and tuning off of the map sensor that is built into the FIC is supposedly better. It basically can be tuned so that your car doesn't even know that there is any boost there is how it was explained to me. You don't have the same problems with the MAF because of how it works also. Anyway, my guy has a map created for the Greddy kit that he has used on a couple other vehicles and they say the difference is night and day with driveability. These are people with the Greddy kit, though I am sure it would work on the FIC. I'll let you know how it goes with me once I get it all done, should be this weekend(9.20.08). Doing the street tune first, then a WOT tune on the dyno.

My tuner tried the base map it came with, he downloaded a new base map, and even created a new one from scratch and couldn't get it. I have a Greddy E-manage Ultimate on the way now. I know there are several people here running E-manage with very good results so I'm jumping on the band wagon. Anyway, hope you get it man.
