He said he's fine with either it's up to me what I want.
Would the aem be worth it over the s300?

AEM EMS is too much for 90% of us. Its complicated and expensive too. I went from AEM to Neptune and I love it. Stock engine start and idle are ignored until you dont have it.

I still think there's nothing wrong with used AEMs. Is there?

No but I hated mine. I learned how to tune on it and I think I have a better understanding of EFI because of it. But I could never tune out some of the annoyances nor could several pro tuners. I switched to Neptune and love it. Its childsplay by comparison. Sometimes Id like to revisit the newer AEM software thinking it may have improved but then I have cold sweats. I have a love/hate relationship with AEM EMS.

Cost is really not a concern, Im getting a super deal on aem series 2 for $900, s300 shipped to me with boost solenoid is gonna run $600-650
I jus want the most flexibility in changing maps from pump/meth to race gas, cop for the future, and mostly the most control over everything
