Not to mention my thoughts on the increased sensitivity of our knock control system. The flaw in my thinking is simple. No matter what, they are still the same motor and the spark curves are going to be relative. The SRT-6's lower compression and the subsequent increase in spark is most definitely going to need to be pulled as load for load we are talking several degrees of advance across the entire powerband. I surely don't want to waste expensive gas running low AFR's as well as risk burning up my stock cats to try and compensate. Instead of trying "other" options and/or tricks, I'm probably much better off sticking with the AEM on top of the Srt-6 ECU.
That said, I'm going to hold off a bit until I can bolster the AEM and address my concerns with my connection issues. I also went ahead and picked up an Srt-6 IAT sensor. I decided that I can make it work with a slight change to the ic tube I made.
I would reccomend sending the AEM to Ebay and let Jerry at Eurocharged who is right in the same town as you and take a look at the tuning. At this point I would have hard time believing that jerry could tune in the ECU anything you hope to accomplish withe the AEM. if you end up selling some kits, I believe you will have better luck with a system that requires a EC tune that requiring someone to monkey around with an AEM. The Jerry tune would also save money. I had previosly talked to Jerry about this concept and he felt the Kompressor ECU will get you in the ball park and he could tune to perfection. Eurcharged has experience with running different forms of boost on the SRT ECU. They tuned the SRT that switched from factory supercharger to a turbo. You really should let him take a look at it. I would also reccomend that you use the SRT fuel system from pump, filter/regulator to injectors. I believe you stated you are using the SRT injectors already. You might want to look at the rest of the system and make sure it is equivilant to the SRT. Good luck with this and I hope it works out great!
