Default Time to upgrade the ignition/engine management for HIGH HP...tips needed

So in switching to the dark side from N/A, I realize that I'm still far from having a safe setup. I finally sorted out my fuel setup and mechanical setup, but now it comes time to wrap it all up and finish the electrical aspect. Here's a quick rundown of the setup:

85x89 Dart block
RLZ B16 head +1mm intake valves (317cfm @ .500 lift)
Skunk2 stage 2 cams
8.7:1 custom made Ross pistons
Balanced rotating assembly
Arizona Forced Induction divided T4 topmount
Dual 44mm TiAL wastegates
GT4202 turbo
4" downpipe dumped
Precision 825hp FMIC
Precision 1600cc injectors with -10AN feed
yada, yada, yada

There's the basic stuff, now knowing that I'm going to run the AEM injector driver, I got to thinking about my other electronics, I used to run an MSD 6AL box with SS coil (now LONG gone). I was looking into the M&W Pro 10 CDI box with a Crane PS-92 or MSD HVCII coil. Now Dave Blundell (Blundar) is more than likely going to be tuning the car, and we talked about eCtune somewhat since I still am running my chipped/datalogging P28. Should I just upgrade to an S300 or AEM EMS setup (then I could do COP)? Should I just use an MSD Digital CDI or other brand with it? The car should make in the 750-800 range and I want to make it as stout as possible now. I'm going through the harness to completely redo from the ITB setup so I'd like to get all my wiring wrapped up. Thanks in advance guys!

I would go with the M&W Pro10 and Crane Coil. I just installed it my car, very easy to do when purchased with the T1 Harness. Tony is having a sale right now so it would be a good time to purchase.

What part of Cincinnati? i live in Mason...Dave tunes my car also let me know if you need some help installing

I'm in Delhi / Western Hills. I was going to get the whole harness and all from Tony if I get that, seems most logical since he builds them with shielded wire so you don't get noise through it. I still need to finish the harness before it all goes back together, so I want to get this all wired up. I was looking on M&W's site and it didn't seem to bad to get all up and running, I'd like to check yours out sometime actually if you wouldn't mind?

Well the turbo is already on the car, it's the 1.01 exhaust side, the smaller one if you wanna call it that lol.

The Pro 10 is the most cost efficient way to do it reliably. Just have to keep the cap and rotor fresh. The pro 12 or pro 14 kit is more powerful and cleaner, but obviously more money.
