Not a lot of people in the country running a Viper AEM, leaving few if any around Metro Detroit.
Try the guys at
Wheel to Wheel Powertrain, or
Livernois Motorsports - Home Page on their experience if any with AEMs.
Join and post/ask in the
Motown Muscle forums.
Are you a MCVO member? Jim Bielenda could help you out understanding the ECM's interaction with an AEM. He's the DC guy tuners turn to for electronics help from time to time.
Contact him, he has a link on the Club Info page.
