F.a.s.t., Bg3, Accel Dfi Gen7?????

>I am so confused on which would be the best bang for the buck and the easiest to operate for a Supercharged/N2O LT1.
I know they are all expensive, and cost really isn't that much of a factor (not rich tho), but I really want ease of operation.
I don't want to spend more than $2000.00 give or take a few hundred.

Wrong forum .

FWIW, HPTuners on my Z06 is lightyears ahead of my LT1edit. That's the only experience I have to offer. Not sure why I'm responding though .

Describe the engine and the S/C and N2O setups you plan to use. That will determine, in part what you need. People have managed to use the stock PCM for relatively sophisticated setups.

Best bang for the buck is the stock PCM. It's free and can handle a supercharged LT1 and then you can use an aftermarket ignition set-up for when you want to use the juice.

Your right, it can handle a supercharged LT1... but it wont handle it to the engine's potential. Stock ecu wont read boost as you probably know, so you dont have the ability to fine tune the timing in the +gauge pressure areas (above 100KPA). Aftermarket ECU will let you do this. Also, the ability to have a WB O2 control fueling with some aftermarket systems.
