Evo 9, AEM ecu vs stock ecu + gm 3" MAF

What are the true benefits to upgrading to a aem standalone?

Will running the aem standalone without the MAF sensor improve drivability?

Im looking to help improve my drivability currently. Would a AEM standalone correct this issue and offer more power?

Current setup:
evo9
gt3076r
stock ecu (tuned with ecuflash)
MAF translator
GM 3" MAF

from what i hear all you need is a good tune... It's pointless to get a different ecu unless you are running some serious hp.... Stay with your stocker

If you want better driveabilty you should just run the stock MAF and stock ECU.

So is it safe to say that if your wanting more then 800whp or are building a race car then AEM is the way to go.

If your building a fast streetable(9-10 sec) then stock ecu is the way to go.
