When I really thought about it though, I want to stick with a factory ecu, I have had nightmares with standalones and semi standalone units. And to do a turbo right you really can't use a factory ecu. Turbos are nice on smaller engines because you get great torque, but you guys get huge torque to begin with.

Who told you this? The factory ECU on an LS3 is really flexible and probably one of the best on the planet for use with any form of boost. Many people fail to understand how to properly calibrate the system, but that certainly doesn't make it the ECU's fault. There are commercially available software, dataloggers, and training that can all work together to make the stock controller work great with a turbo LS3. (I have this exact combo in my garage!)
