Aftermarket ECU...who to go with???

I'm looking into a new ECU, but don't know what one will be the best for me. I don't really care about gas mileage, only performance. I've looked at Technosquare and JWT, and am also considering AEM, but at $2k I don't think it's worth it. Are there any other stand alone units for an 01 Max. Any POSITIVE feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

JWT doesn't program ECU's for 00+... Your only option is Technosqaure, even then it's a long shot for a DEK.

TS is your ONLY option unless you're thinking of a piggyback but that info is in another forum.

IIRC TS doesn't do DEK ECU's anymore either.

What other forum, I searched and can't find?
What is IIRC?
Emanage ultimate, can I advance and retard my timing and raise rev limit with Emanage?
