The way I understand it is, there will be a base map that will start and run the engine. That map can be manually corrected via pc port or another remote uplink to tweak the tune and improve various set points in the table maps for literally everything, air fuel, timing etc. The stock ecu will be just as versatile as the AEM ems if not more, and is just as capable if not more capable than it as well. All that for a mere fraction of the cost.
