Nope actually i am a big fan of the aem units and am using a Aem universal box on it... I have one on a customers 67 camaro with a 106MM turbo with 1600cc injectors and a .750 in lift cam that will idle at 900 in gear..

I have not used the BS3 but have probably sold 75 aem units over the years and have had great luck with them... I am not a sponsor so i cant say about the pricing...

Very nice set up Joey. His build-up is taking foreverrrrrr. Once done, it will be bad-*** street/strip car. All piping, A2W, etc are his fabrication. I'll let Joey tell you the particulars.

The 67 Camaro was finished over the winter, but still to cold to do any real tuning. Our track doesn't open for another 2 months . Now that is a car that is going to scream.
