    Mine too. ~400 crank hp at 14.5psi on 13t's according to the mass flow rate of the engine. Tuning by mass is so much nicer than tuning by "load."

    No.

    ...but you can run a MAFT or an ARC2 just like on any car. Flash the ecu with your new injector size and use the piggy back unit as a "translator". I'm going to experiment with the corrvette MAF in my car soon with the MAfT box zeroed out.

    Well till then I'll stick with my aem ems. I still dream of the day though.

    If you had an AEM then what would be the benifit of going to a flashed ECU. I assumed the AEM would be more versatile?

    Basically I guess I'm asking what's better?

    You can't pass OBD2 inspections with an AEM.
    The motor starts and run like stock with any fuel injectors.
    Cheaper.
    Easier to tune...

    Lots of advantages. Soon I'll figure out how to manipulate the code to have all the same functionalities as an AEM too. Just need time.
