We couldn't find a cost effective way to replace the ECU, which is why I traded for a 2012. Most of the wiring harness needs to be replaced, plus you have to sync it with all the other computers and get the VIN matching done. Not very pretty.

I'm not a good one to ask about the kits because I never had one. Mine was the first twin turbo LLT and some of what was learned then when into the RX kit. Never had a kit so I can't really tell you much about any of them except to say don't set your HP desires too high. They will make more power than the stock L99 and LS3, but you won't have the lowend torque on the superchargers.

Take a look at the FI List (sticky at the top of the V6 forced induction section) and look what people are running. Then PM them for details.
