Best option please. Don't want to use an AEM, I don't want something not that complicated.

Maft + afc
safc on a budget
emanage blue if you want the extra timing control (not necessary ray is probably going to run 10s with the maft safc combo)
If you really want to have fun, get Emanage Ultimate wiring the harness as stage 2.5 and run speed density. Talk about instant spool on ANY TD04. They are getting cheap now, but there is no W7 or Vista drivers only XP. It is pretty easy to use, and I know nothing about tuning cars. Well, knew nothing about tuning cars when I got my EMU. They are a GREAT alternative to AEM.
With speed density, there is no MAF, therefore no intake restrictions. EMU can act as timing and fuel controller along with EBC, 2-step for pre-launch boosting, and many other features such as logging and other sorts.
You can also get a Boomslang PnP harness, and modify it to stage 2.5 from stage 3. Some how, I managed to get a stage 2.5 when I ordered mine.

What do you all think of the MAF Translator Pro?
Not the cheapest, but the ARC2 is stupid simple to use. Leaves you stuck with factory timing, but you can find ways around that too. I had no experience tuning cars until I used the ARC2 this year and I was able to tune our car myself.
FWIW....

Jack-stand mod for now.
+1 for ARC2, find a used one for about ~400 clams![]()
I third the ARC2, I had one on my 15g VR4 and loved how simple it was to get a tune. I have since switched to Maftpro Speed Density, but I haven't come close to understanding how to tune with it yet. I miss my ARC2
Just go Arc2+SITC combo!! Bam!
I am using EMB+MafT combo and I am loving it so far.
I used to have SAFC and that is really easy to use.

There are 2 ways to make a car fast.
#1 use the Right combo of parts
#2 Throw so much money at it that the car has no choice but to be fast.
I choose #1
