I just installed a Power FC l-jetro (mafs) and so far it’s good. I did have an issue with a hunting idle problem but got it sorted out. I have nothing to compare it with but it seems fine to me. ---

Aem is nice, and i would buy it if i could afford it, but some people cant afford 2000 bucks for it. If your on a budget, run power fc …does more then the average dude needs and they can be found used under 1000 quite often.
