Loads of options available, I'm sure someone a bit more qualified will post after me, but personally i'd look into either weber L8/P8 or something like Emerald. That seems to be gaining popularity

How much money are you willing to spend?
I would use a Pectel or Motec ecu. You can use a laptop to make the settings.
But they do require a new (or changed) wiring loom.

I use a P8 with bells and whistles on it - can't fault it. I don't have launch control on it though - but you can get that from Motorsport Developments for any L1/6/8/P8 ecu now, they would probably do a deal if you bought a Live mapping session and Launch Control/ALS/Wasted spark for a L8/P8 in one hit?

Or you could speak to whoever is going to be mapping it - they might be able to suggest something that suits you, your budget and them.

Go on Emeralds website, they have just added LC and AL, always had IN GEAR selectable AL anyway.
Also does shed loads more, triple map, sensor calibration, is fully upgradeable when new stuff comes out, just a click away to download newer stuff, DIRECT COILPACK FIRING, semis, sequential or batched firing also, works with pretty much any sensor, and is self calibrating if needed.
It is designed IN HOUSE, so of course you are not speaking to someone who just knows the basics, Karl who designed it is a real techy, he works upstairs, and even the staff at emerald are not allowed to disturb him!!, he does not have a phone in his office/work area either, TOTAL DEDICATION.
The w/m is light years behind modern ecm's like these, and not as expensive as you think!!
