Default controlling a TT LS2 on E85

i've been juggling a couple ideas for a while. just wondering what you guys think.

regardless of what system i go with, i want to keep my stock gauges, so i would need to piggy back the stock PCM into the system to control those.

I've been leaning toward the AEM EMS because it has boost control and supports E85.

Big Stuff 3 is now supports E85, but doesn't have boost control, so i'd have to throw in an AMS1000 or eBoost2 or something on top of that.

FAST XFI 2 has boost control, but i haven't really seen much use of this system in high powered cars compared to the other AMS and BS3. probably because its so new.

my options are also limited by the 24x reluctor wheel (05 LS2). if i had a 58x that might open up some other options.

what route do you guys think i should go?

what OS are you running? There are many stock ECU cars that make 1000+... no need for a BS3 or FAST.
