A lot of people don't like the Megasquirt software. But it's isn't as bad as it could be. Most MS users are going to rave about it, since they probably haven't dealt with many other real standalone systems. A lot of shops won't deal with installing and setting up a MS system because they end up spending much more time/money on the install and setup than if they just went with a tried and true solution. That might not be a problem for a guy doing it all himself who can a lot of his free time installing, researching, etc.

The speed of the MS has nothing to do with being able to run bigger injectors. The stock DSM ECU can handle big injectors without problems and can handle huge injectors like 1600s better than a lot of standalone because of it's good injector drivers. Engines run at an extremely slow speed compared to computers, it doesn't take much processing power to run an engine. Most of the time an ECU is just sitting around waiting for the motor. Big injectors are very slow to open, that is their main problem. You can make them work better by using a real peak & hold injector driver, which gives a big initial voltage spike to pull the heavier/big injector open quicker and then uses a smaller voltage to hold it open.

The MS is a good option for you though. People like DSMLink because of it's ease of tuning and the DSM factory knock system is just about the best out there.
