If you don't want to drop the 2k for a stand alone AEM the Utec would be top on the list followed closely by XEDE.. only reason that UTEC is better is you can tune it yourself as far as performance wise after being tuned I would say that UTEC and XEDE are at a tie.

Apples vs Oranges dude.

If you want the set it and forget it - do a flash. Of those, Dynoflash will win the poll because more people have that and it's cheap. (many think very cheap...)

If you really want to extract power from mods, you need a standalone or piggyback. From what I've learned the AMS EMS is about the best - it's also like $1600. That's not even on your poll!!

It really depends on your ultimate goal...

but after looking at their webpage it says most customers get 20-30 hp out of very extensive self tuning. The dyno flash is about 200 dollars less and is set it and forget it with a guaranteed 20 whp at least.
