Whats Your Favorite EFI? DFIVII, FAST,BigStuff etc?

Two questions really...whats the best aftermarket setup for use with forced induction? Does anyone sell these systems outright? I'd prefer to do all the wiring and installation myself, then have a professional do the tuning, rather than have them do everything.

I use Accel DFIV7 and F.A.S.T. I like the DFIV7 better as I don't need to buy a certain configuration box like you do fast.

Can you buy this system outright? None of the catalogs I have seen list it (Summit, Jegs, etc), and I always thought you had to go to one of their authorized dealers to have it installed.

Accel can be bought outright, I have even seen people list them new on EBAY.
My local speed shop (K&G) sells them, here is the number 610-359-1616 his name is Lynn.
