1600s with an AEM are horrible. The stock Mitsu ECUs can run them 100x easier than an AEM. 1600s should not be used as a primary injector with an AEM EMS. You can play with dead time and injector phasing for hours and still have to run the A/Fs in the 12s at light throttle to get it not to misfire and buck. They are fine at higher load or on a drag only car. I won't run 1600s as my primary injectors on my car with an AEM and I have all the time I want to spend on trying to get it to run smooth. I run 1600s on my wife's car with a factory ECU and it's easy cheesy.
The car has an almost stutterbox sounding cut out that always hits at 7850-7900 RPMs. When it does it, the car loads up on fuel and runs like shit for a while until all the fuel clears out. Very weird. It isn't a plug or gap issue. It's too bad since the car was flawless on the dyno mechanically. No oil sprarying all over, no coolant blowing out, rock solid coolant temps, no I/C pipes blowing off.
His car seemed to move out pretty quick on the freeway though, it would walk away from me until he hit revlimiter or the cut out problem.
DSMLink with a stock ignition setup would make things a lot easier. I don't think anyone should run an AEM EMS on these cars, unless they need to run 8 injectors. And if stock igntion can make 1000whp, then why put on a COP system that don't work right 75% of the time.
