Yes, plus flex fuel set up hasn't been perfected on a MS--or I have just yet to see anyone running it. ProEFI ecu is around the same price as a AEM w/o the flex fuel options, yet no one is giving people **** for running those.
Plus most Miata's on this site around under 300 whp where a MS is perfectly fine, 600 whp with the boost levels and such I will be running I don't think a MS is the best option.

I've done two 400whp setups so far on MS2s, and the third one will be a 500whp setup (1.8/w VVT, 30psi on a garrett 3076, running water injection, cams, etc). Just debating whether to upgrade him to a MS3 (he was already running a MS2 on his 1.6/2560). I don't find any reason why not to use a Megasquirt on a 90-05 Miata.

the sprint 500 is costly but has some nice features like sequential injection and ignition can outputs etc. its not bad unit for the price. it is more costly then MS though.

Yes, it has CAN, although its an MS-only CAN protocol. You can use the CAN to expand the digital/analog inputs/outputs etc. Obviously the MS2/MS2 have sequential injection and ignition.

Pulling out a laptop and switching maps is kind of a half *** way to fix this problem due to you having to drain your tank each time, as well as, ethonal content changing from season to season and from pump to pump--your tune will never be spot on. (I thought of doing it this way, but was quickly told how bad of an idea it is)
Is the lap top and switching maps the best solution? Nope. But in will get you home safely, and that was my goal. The best solution? No. Half assed? certainly not. My car will only see boost with e-85, enough said there.
I am in for your build and hope you see huge numbers, and I certainly am not bashing your choice ecm's, ****...I know nothing about tuning, that's why I paid a shop to do it for me.
But a word to the wise, it is better to under promise and over deliver. Humility goes a long way. Whom do you think most enjoy seeing fail, the humble man that tries hard, or the chest thumper that is the greatest thing since sliced bread? 600 out of a 1.6...I will sit back and watch.

Well I have an after market intake manifold I think it's around 3L, and I have a CNC race port with bowl bending and all that stuff. My head is going to be the limiting factor, but CEO made around 900 whp on a BP head so, it can be done.

Yeah 800-900 whp somewhere around there, either way anything is possible if you have enough money, and time on your hands. He was running some huge Turbonetics turbo I think K series I believe. His power band was pretty bad, and it was super peaky at the top. Oh well, I should also have updated manifold pictures this weekend, Abe said he is starting on it.

Well my whole package was $2,250 the 128 box was an extra $350 dollars. AEMs are $1350 +/- for the version 2.
If you got a proEFI 48 with out the flex fuel option it would be around $1,550.
