How easy would it be to repin my 92+ Computer to a 90-91 pinout for use with an AEM 1120 computer instead of the 1121? Reason I ask is that I may have an opportunity to snag an 1120 for much cheaper than the current going $1500-1600. If it's not a total rectal tear to do I would probably go this route in lieu of paying full price for a 1121 AEM EMS.

The aem has some basic autotune features... but you really will need to pay someone to tune the car from the ground up.
I would also throw in some 550cc injectors in there. That way, most of your base maps would be tuned for 550s, and then you can make minor adjustments to the WOT maps if you ever upgrade to a bigger turbo, instead of having to redo everything later on.

I'll be doing most of teh tuning myself. Just would use the auto tune to get the VE tables dialed in close so I could fine tune, rather than try to come up with a map from scratch.

Injectors are staying as-is for now. I can't drop too much money on the car if I go this way. I still have the T/A project in full swing to finish up by summers end for the fall racing season.

problem with that is the AEM basemaps dont have any of the cold start enrichment tables done, or any of the compensation maps, which will greatly affect driveability.
theyre really only ment as a "limp it over to your tuner" type of deal.

You guys aren't giving me enough credit here. I'm not an idiot when it comes to tuning. I've got enough knowledge to competently tune my own vehicles. Once you've spent hours upon hours data logging and then tweaking VE tables for a Speed Density tune, come talk to me. Until then, let me ask my little questions about the AEM for the guys that have it and quit trying to tell me that I need to get it to someone for tuning, ok thanks. I appreciate the inputs, I really do, but please give me some credit.
