Default Working on my N/A project. Which EMS is best?

Hey guys I'm somewhat new to tuning and performance upgrades so I am hoping for some good advice on which EMS I should get. There aren't very many tuning shops or anything like that up here, so I'm looking to you guys. I want to be able to daily drive, as well as take it to the street on weekends. I have a kinetix ssv velocity intake mani, injen cold air, and HKS true dual exhaust so far. I am thinking down the road I will look at the turbonetics ST system, so I need an EMS that is versatile. Let me know what you think! I'll get pics up very soon! thanks.

utec ftl. osiris hands down for N/A. Fcon and Haltech if you really insist on something other than tuning the stock ecu.

i hate haltecs from my experience with them at the shop i used to work at they always crashed, and if they didnt do that they would get all screwey and mess with the tune we put in. may have been our tuner but i dont think so(steve kan).
idk the fcon is sweet

For NA it generally is. But of course the person tuning the car is what matters more.

This topic has been covered a bunch of times already. I'll put in my same 2 cents as always: For NA applications, Osiris > UTEC

Unlike some people who like to vote for whatever setup they got (without any actual experience with the other), I can actually say that I've had BOTH the UTEC and Osiris on my car.
