Let's talk engine management....
My winter rebuild on my LB9 is going to be quite extensive, and I am going to add some boost to the engine in the form of a remote mount turbo. I am also going to need some form of engine management.
Now while I am handy with a wrench, wiring and electronics are not my strong point. I would like some suggestions on which systems you guys have used and why you like/dislike them. I do have a bit of a budget, however I don't mind spending the money for a quality product.
Any help is appreciated!

Re: Let's talk engine management....
I have been looking on their website, and like the idea that all the stock gauges will work and I won't have to replace any of the factory wiring harness or sensors, which is a huge plus, not to mention it will easily convert my MAF to a MAP setup. Also, it seems to be very cost effective as well.
However, from what I understand I will have to swap my ECM, and then also modify that ECM as well. Is it really that hard? I can solder, but again, electrical work is my weak spot. What needs to be done to my factory wiring harness to use the newer ECM?
EDIT:
Just saw they offer the '730 ECM already modified and ready to install....that will certainly make it easier for me.

you will need to repin the ecm side. remove the cold start wiring. remove the esc and jumper the black ecm feed and the blue wire to the knock sensor, change the knock sensor. change the maf pigtail into you map. or !!! use this
