Just FYI, Haltech is easy to find base maps for nearly anything. Microtech, no since you can't save you map it has to be built from the ground up after an install. Electromotive, you can save maps but not alot of guys (around here anyway...) run them on 13B's so you've gotta have some background. Basically what I'm saying is Haltech is the best bet for a DIY'er who's not too familiar with EMS' since you'll be able to download a map, start the car and drive it around.
The "other" stuff you're talking about I'm not familiar with, please elaborate.

This is entirely plausible and easily doable on a clean bench. However IMO, for the effort and time you're going to spend re-wiring the stock harness for a computer with limited tunability, you may as well install a standalone since that harness will be less work (only terminating it) and you'll have much more capability after its done. But again, thats just me.
