it does comes down to inexperience.
what ive noticed with the emanage is that it works on a correctional basis, not a final output kind of mapping (PFC).
for example, if you want timing to be 20 degrees @ set RPM on a PFC you just input 20 degrees at whatever rpm.
with an emanage, if you want timing to be 20 degreesa @ the same RPM and timing is at 15 degrees already, you just input +5 into the ignition adjustment map @ whatever RPM.
the difference is minimal but i think theyve just been turned off the emanage blue.
