Default Need Tuning Advice (Which EMS?)

Well, I'm stumped. I have no idea what I want to run between Uberdata and Crome. Basically, here's my setup:

LS/VTEC (don't wanna hear your unreliability comments.. thanks)
JE 8.8:1 Pistons
Peak Performance custom rods rated at 800hp
Stock head
Stock sleeves
AEM TruTime cam gears
AEM adjustable FPR
AEM High Flow rail
RC 550 Injectors
Walbro 255 in-tank pump
Garrett T3/T4 57 trim
TurboXS MBC

Here's my confusion.. which EMS should I get and why?

I also am trying to decide on which wideband. Zeitronix ZT-2 or Innovative LC1?

This is a track primarily car, and would like to have it streetable. My goals are 11's this season in Colorado on slicks, so I'm planning on pushing quite a bit through this motor. (17+ psi)

Any constructive comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks greatly in advance!

honestly either one will work just fine. If you are tuning it yourself, I would research and download both programs and make the choice for yourself. Crome has a lot of support now a days. http://www.tunewithcrome.com

I would get the PLX M300 wideband, that is just personal preference though.

My other question is.. when I get Crome, do I really need Crome Pro? Would I be ok with standard Crome? Is Hondalog necessary? Etc. etc. etc.?

Yeah i would lean more towards crome. From what i hear uberdata has really started slacking on their support. the last thing you want to do i get stuck with something that your not going to be happy with.

PLX great bang for the buck.

Your setup sounds good, but i have never heard of those rods before, do you have anymore info on them.

What is your hp goal, psi isn't always relative.

This is all I have on them:
http://www.peak-performance.net/

I think they're fairly new but for the price I got them, I can't go wrong. My sponsor used them in a customer's car of his that put down 650 hp and has plenty-o-miles/passes on them.

I'm aiming for 500hp.. my questions with a wideband is this:

I hear the PLX datalogs with Crome.. does it log with RPM? What's so special about it versus the ZT-2? Thanks.

I like the display you get with the PLX, with the extra money you can buy crome pro and you can datalog everything. Check out the website to see everything you can do with it.
