Default BS3 vs. EFILive/HPTuners

I am on the fence on which one to get. Here is my combo and I would like opinions on which would be better suited for what I want.

iron block 408 (8.6cr)
232/236 600/600 114 cam
procharger F1C (18 pounds boost)
TH400 w/transbrake
and other little goodies here and there.

I drive the truck on the street every now and then but I am looking to get everything dialed in to a low 10 maybe high 9 on full slicks.

I don't have A/C so that is not a concern, but I do want to keep all my power windows and stuff like that.

Looking for the infamous 1000rwhp mark to reach my 1/4 mile goals.

My main concern is that I will be pushing the limits of efilive/hptuners. I know that there are high horsepower guys running these programs but I want something that I can keep expanding on.

What do you guys think?

Similar, except Big stuff 3 looks like it has a few more features. EX: Transmission control of 4L60E and 4L80E transmissions, WBO2 closed loop operation. Not sure if Megasquirt has this as well.

Yeah BS3 is a complete standalone system but can piggyback the stock PCM so you can keep your stock guages. It is dual wideband, can run low impedence injectors and many more options.

I don't want to piggyback my stock PCM though, I want to remove it and run the BS3 completely standalone. I will be running an aftermarket guage setup, if I go with BS3.

Wow that sounds pretty cool! IMO I would go with the BS3, having dual widebands would be awesome!!
