Cams Or AEM?

Title says it all, Should i go with 280 cams or an AEM EMS for my next mod.

I currently have a 3" turbo back exhaust, HKS Race intake, AMS IC Upper and Lower Pipeing, Forge MBC, ARP Studs.

I know both will need tunning but i;mjust not sure wich to go with right now,

Cams, then just get a flash to hold you over instead of spending big bucks on the AEM.

If you are serious about getting the AEM, then get it first so that you don't waste money on a flash, SAFC or whatever else you are thinking of doing in the meantime to tune for the cams.

Or get them at the same time. This seems like a silly either/or anyhow. AEM costs 5X as much as cams.

I can't imagine install and cost of cams would be 2k, including a flash. More around 1500 at the most. I say get cams and a flash. But take the time to look at your long term plans. If your going bigger turbo, with all supporting mods, or trying to get the last bit of power out of every mod you do to your car, I would get the AEM and make a plan.
