What I am especially interested with is what way to go with my ecu. I am planning on sending it to xenocron, but am wondering what to go basemaps with chrome or uberdata... any suggestions? Also wondering about self tuning with a laptop, and how close basemaps get me?

So far so good, got the clutch circuit hooked up so it starts, and just unplugged the key lock box (little blue box by the ignition) and have the reverse light circuit figured out to hook up to the trans rev sensor. If there are any others I am missing let me know!
