Was wondering what others are using or could suggest.
Thanks in advance!

How big of HP shot are you going to run?

Max 100, but I would more likely to go with a 75

I have a NOS mini progressive controller. Built in TPS and RPM window switches

It's a pretty small unit so it should go pretty much anywhere. Price tag wasn't too bad either (around $250). In the future I wouldn't mind getting one with a nice screen and put it in the cubby hole.

Here is one installed next to some other components so you can get an idea of the size better. (pic swiped from CapeT/A on ls1tech).

100HP shot is where it's at.

Hope you don't mind if I pick your brains a bit. Relays, what are they used for and how many do I need. I'll have a heater, purge and opener each will have a separate switch. If that helps, im no electrical genius by any means, so please forgive my ignorance.

More than likely! Just didn't want to change plugs, I hear its a bitch! Speaking of plugs, what's the latest and greatest for our situation?

That's some nice work, looking for the same outcome. I have the NOS unit in hand and yes I would have liked a bigger screen, but this serves my purpose well. On a side note where did you get the labels for the wire, looks like shrink boot with printing. Nice touch!

I didn't change my plugs. I'd definitely change them anything more than 100hp and also get a tune.

My car has been running perfect. Tell you what, when I get my car out next spring I'll pull the plugs and post some pictures for you.

I found a cheap label maker that you can swap out the labels for heat shrink tubing. I am at work right now but when I get home I can get the model number for you. I think it is a dymo or something like that. Works pretty slick.
The picture I posted is from Cape T/A from ls1tech and is where I got the idea for the labels from.
Here is a printed label that I was testing out.

That looks proper my friend! Did a little research on relays and their use. Ordered a BigDog double 70amp for the purge and the heater.

I like that block better than just screwing the relays where ever. Looks a lot cleaner to me.

Dymo Rhino 4200 is the label maker I have.

I have no idea how durable it is but for $90 and the few times I use it, it should suffice.
