Warning: If you've never tuned a car before, you probably shouldn't use either one yourself - improper use of either one can quickly lead to very serious engine damage. Again, it's REALLY tough talking in general here - without knowing exactly what you mean by "better". Better at what horsepower level? Better=easier? Better=slightly more horsepower (even if that slight horsepower advantage costs hundreds or thousands of $ more)? Better on the track? Better for daily driving? All of these are EXTREMELY relevant questions, and need to be answered before a definitive answer can be provided.

ohh.. no im not goin to tune it myself.. im goin to get some place to tune it for me.. but yeah im thinkin to get the standalone.. im looking at the brand like LINKS or Autronic standalone right now.. duno which one is better.. but yeah i heard the AEM is a hell to tune it..
