Well, there is a reason they don't put AEM PCM's in cars from the factory. The reason people have problems with the SCT software is there are easily 100 tables in it. Every one of those tables is involved with some aspect of engine management. Every single one alters something to adapt to changes in the environment. Whether it is coolant temperature, air temperature, barometric pressure, sensor feedback, driver input. What sets SCT apart is you are using the PCM to control the engine in the way that everything was engineered to work. AEM would be the equivalent of tuning the car with a carburator. Even though it is still fuel injected it is a simplified PCM. While AEM is a very solid workable engine platform it is not anywhere near as sophisticated as a factory PCM. It's similar to Accel DFI, or any of the other stand alone fuel injection controllers.
Does Mopar use an AEM stand alone to manage their drag cars?

I'm not knocking AEM, it's a solid option for people who don't want to invest the time in learning SCT. However, a properly tuned SCT car will outperform a stand alone tuned car.
