Michael, with regards to the AEM box, I'm running a boost comp fuel map, full electronic vss based boost control with alternate high boost map, sequential fuel injection, individual coils, switch retard, 2-step, antilag, traction control, no lift to shift, meth control, 3 bar MAP with no MAF, etc. Keep in mind this is all in a Fiero and we had to basically come up with all the software settings, and tuning ourselves. Those Viper guys use this on the regular and so there is MUCH more common information with regards to their setups. I love the functionality of the software, and its all done in 1 box. No extra add-ons, etc.
(Don't forget that the AEM can be set up to control the 4L80e too, for you big dog guys)
EDIT: Scott, thanks for that link. Exactly what I needed.
So you are using the AEM to control your ignition?
Most here are still budget limited to the stock ECM.
The holy grail would be to do away with the stock type coilpack and module..... and shed the "waste spark" system we are running and go COP/CNP. If you could do it with mostly junkyard components..... that is even better...... however.... there are a few people that have run COP with our cars.... and stock ECM's....... but they were all still waste spark systems.... and they were all 1-off setups..... not an easy feat.
