Dan, you dont mention trottle possition sensor? Thats what I use and 
it works great with big cams. Ok, everything has its backsides, but if
one keeps an eye on lambda once in a while for some minor adjustmants,
its great for "overlap" engines. 

If one is going to build a real performance engine, an open ECU is fundamental.
Such engine will need so much fuel lines, fittings, rails, pressure regulators,
big fuelpumps, trottle bodies etc etc that the ECU itself becomes marginal in 
total cost. And cocidered that the ECU is such important factor for a performance 
motor that needs attention, its the wrong place to save money.

Modern ECU:s also got great monitor screens to have on dasch. Shows everything
one needs to know, and has datalogging, to look back how the engine was 
running under a specific condition.
