Great input, thanks!

I agree on the computer tuning... I am excited to get into that whole arena.

I have decided on the Dynamic EFI setup. How cool is their What's up display? This is a real time app that pulls all of the computer info very quickly, and dumps it into this cool GUI. Provisions for an IAT sensor, electric fan on/off signaling, and more. I am so impressed with this thing. You should read about what the guys do with this at thirdgen.org... It is honestly like reading another language.
