Bryan criticises lack of support with the AEM unit, but it's a situation where AEM intended the end user/enthusiast to provide tech support for the lifetime of the product. Same deal as the MS, so I don't see the criicism there? The AEM is also a known hardware config, whereas the MS are the wild ------- west sometimes, and that introduces a whole other order of complexity to them. If you are a geek who likes to tinker they are awesome.

I didn't mean to turn this into a bash MS thread, I'd run one myself on certain cars (sub 275 whp Miatas, yum) as they can do a good job. But, if you are trying to use one for a non-standard vehicle they are sometimes a piece of ----. Then again so are AEM units on Nissans with that 10000000000 tooth sensor wheel or an MSD distributor; everything has it's problems.

Here's some MS winnage:

The car was running 8.3's in the 1/8th with his old 176 whp T2 setup on street tires, now it's on a T28 from a GTi-R at double the boost so I figure 250+ whp - no track times yet as he shattered a diff and an axle two weeks ago at the strip, but it's gently strolled past a 310 whp CRX I also tuned so the power is there.

I was afraid the extra power would destabilize the car, but here's a quote from the Miata's owner when I chatted with him last:
