I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I just wanted to see what some of you think. I have a 91 GSX build that I have almost completed. I won't go into all of the details, but it's a built 2.0L with a 6262 and AEM v1. I am also seeing that the aftermarket trigger discs will help with the long starts that the AEM is known for.
I have considered switching to Link, or a Haltech, but i'd like to save money at this point if possible. It will be tuned by a guy that has tuned AEM v1 on many DSMs before. I myself have had very brief experience with it...for the most part understand the interface and how to manipulate. It just seems like some people praise AEM v1 while others act like it is terrible. A few questions:
- Should I keep my AEM v1 given the situation to save money?
- Is it actually unreliable in some way that will make me pay down the road?
- By unreliable I mean does it have any more chances of failing than a socketed ECU or Link if I have the upgraded trigger disc?
- I'm sure a new Haltech would be the most reliable...is that the consensus?
