    Camcon or E-Manage?

    I'm trying to slowly build up my engine to only run N/A. I'm pretty much nearing the end of simple bolt-on's. Maybe in a year or two I'll crack open the engine to really do some damage. As for now I'm interested in controlling the engine management.

    My question:
    From MonkeyWrenchRacing.Com, which one?

    Camcon - $399
    http://monkeywrenchracing.com/power_enterprise_camcon.html

    or

    E-Manage - $369 (plus they preprogram it for your application)
    http://monkeywrenchracing.com/mwr_greddy_e_manage_package_toyota_1zz_fe_na_preprogrammed.html

    or both (or would that be stupid?)

    EDIT:
    or

    SAFC II - $329

    I would personaly do the e-manage because a: vortex wrote the corolla manual for it and also you do everything via laptop and not push button... so you can see everything at once.

    What about APEXi SAFC-II? I think its cheaper then both of those and has the same features.

    I was going to go eManage but I already got my ACR and AFC-II and timer in APEXi so it would be kinda stupid to break up the set now :) Maybe later.

    hmmm...good point on the e-manage being "windows-esque" in the nature of use. It would save on a lot of headaches in the long run.

    The SAFC-II is indeed cheaper but only by $40, and if I'm spending this much money already, what's another $40; especially for the aforementioned reason.

    Does anyone have any background experience with the camcon?

    Either are pretty good systems. However, the eManage Ultimate has been impressing the hell out of me. I need to snag one of these for testing.
