AEM V1 vs Flash ECU? Which should I have?

[Gearheadvr4]

Have a Ver 1 AEM. Seems pretty complex but I been told it offers the most options and can tune to the edge if you know what your doing. (I don't... Tuning is my last obstacle with these cars).

I keep hearing how nice the flashed ECUs are and I'm wondering what I would loose if anything by getting one and selling the AEM. I'm thinking it would be easier to tune?

I'm open to ideas.


Here is my basic setup but could change slightly if I go to E85. I will stay relativly low hp/tq untill i feel ive got everything running perfect. Not shooting for 1000hp eventhough the engine is setup for it. Im hoping for around 650-700 hp on meth or e85 and at least 600 on pump. Plan on autocross some and drag race a few times till something breaks.
