Best product to switch maps with?

Hey All,

I am wondering what the best product for me to switch maps would be with? I am planning on having two or three maps:
-93 Octane only
-93 Octane w/ Meth
-Race Gas

What would be the easiest and cheapest way to be able to switch maps from inside the car without having to have the car tuned again? I have the stock ECU still, but maybe I should buy the AEM EMS... I am not sure. I am putting out 497whp with 93 octane and meth.

TJ

You could p/u a used XEDE piggyback for dirt cheap. Then zero out the XEDE maps and have the abiity to switch back and forth between two different flashed maps just by flipping a toggle switch.

I suspect that ECU Flash will have this feature in the future. See this thread

Yeah i would be willing to put a laptop in my car but I only have a crappy peice of crap... Would that still work or would you suggest getting a cheap used one off of eBay or something? I would like to be able to data log but this would all be a first for me... What does the price run for the cable and where can you get it?

If you can purchase a pre-built 500whp Evo in your teens, then I'm pretty sure you can get a decent laptop for a few hundred bucks...

I do not care for your opinion. You are an ******* to 90% of the members here on Evom. Please do not respond to my threads. You may be very knowledgeable but you are a jerk.

And yes, i can afford it, but why would i spend more money then i need to?
