There's no downside except for the slippery slope into modifying everything else. You can pick up a few horsepower just eliminating the MAF when you go Megasquirt. Being able to tune and see what is happening with the car is so engaging that it becomes fun.

Mine is totally stock bar a 4-2-1 header that was cheaper than stock to replace. I do however have a **** ton of non engine mods than I've compiled over the years.
I changed from an Emerald K3 to an MS3 Basic about two months ago.
I do not notice any more power over the K3 but it is far more user firendly.
Support is usually good and here we have some very experienced folks too.
Although I have an issue posted that has many views but no replies so sometimes i takes time.

MS is worth it just for the fun in tuning the car. IMO If you tune it all properly with nice EAE the car is noticeably smoother. Also you will gain a bit of power from extra timing and then some more from getting rid of the MAF and some piping.
MSlabs has an add-on module for their MS3 which allows digital wideband input as well as OBD port usage. I would contact them and ask how the OBD thing works (I only have the digital wideband feature), It might make it pass inspection.
