IMO reliable horsepower isn't using a piggyback to run 350+whp. i sleep better knowing that my ecu isn't being tricked to do what i want, instead i'd rather have an ecu that is completely standalone and nothing being the middle man with my $$$ motor. And anything under 350whp people have the option of romtunes which is sorda like an EMS...to an extent but definately not as versatile.

Dude your join date is July 2006!
That Land Cruiser I was telling you about is making a nice reliable 700whp with a Greddy E-Manage Ultimate. Just like most anything else, if you know what your doing it will work.
On the same token I'm with you the EMS is a great product but it is indeed expensive and overkill for people that are not looking to drop more money than they paid for the car in the hardware + tuning alone and among other reasons. Not everyone is looking for a monster setup in their vehicles. I know for a fact with a few years of experience under my belt that the e-manage is a viable tool for tuning. I never said it was the end all, just that it's viable.
