Default Ls3 carb and distributor?

So I've had multiple problems with my electronic systems and I'm sick of it.. The car is only driven to shows or the track so I'm looking into a carb swap. The thing I'm running into is to run the MSD 6ls box or go distributor... I wanna know do I have to run the bcm for the box? Or is there any imput on running a distrubutor? Please I need facts to back up claims of negatives. I know price costs just looking to get away from as much electronic ******** as possible!

no way to run a distributor on this motor.

what electrical problems are you having? Honestly fairly rare to hear of electrical problems in the ECU and engine side of things.
