If you have a P8, then speak to Ian Howells at Racetek, he can get this upgraded to 8-injector / ALS etc for £550.
Alternatively, we are about to launch and upgrade package for L8, which will make it fully live mappable as well as allow ALS and dizzyless to be used.

Its swings and roundabouts, as with the Pectel hardware / software required for the P8, you will be limited to who can map it.
With our hardware / software, ANYONE who is proficient at mapping could do it, and any future upgrades can be accomodated.
I would imagine that initially the L8 package will be more expensive, but then it will be cheaper and easier to map...

july1 i would wait and see if i were you.
the software with the RP Lab conversion is by the far the most user friendly that i have seen.
the benefit of using a modified L8 over something like Motec is that it is plug and play and has OEM reliability

This is exaclty what I said m8 
But the Motec (like lots of it's competitor) has an adaptur to plug strait on the genuine loom
the good point with aftermarket is that they most have datalogging facilities, use wide band lambda sensors, and have help to built the maps (as well as base maps)...
they can run lots of injectors and coils..
I've also heard about a Pectel T4 but nothing really seems to move on there website.. Magnetti Marrelli also has very interseting stuff...
I want to change my gearbox before this step anyway it's worthless to have a big bhp engine without the possiblity of using it...

this bit....
but what i meant was is the system being further developed for the p8, so it can be live mapped without the pectel ...?does the l8 upgrade involve new hardware (ie a new board fitted) to enable this or is it just a new chip with this new software,...?

just for you mike 
this screenshot shows you all things that can be datalogged and scoped
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/07...icp-rp-017.png
and can be used for the virtual dash
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/07...icp-rp-013.png
whislt you are connected by laptop/pc. this datastream could also supply a pectel style comms monitor of course. a feasibility study has been done already and production basically just depends on demand
