To be serious it's the driver that will be the thing that wins, cars are close enough that it will be down to reaction times to the lights, missing a shift, changing way to early, bottling it eye...
just use the standard ecu to do it with, bin everything else, uch etc. easy enough to make a new engine loom for it. you can buy a relay and fuse box set up from cbs to use for the main car loom, you get an idiots guide on how to do it from them as well.
i know the likes of the dash 2 run from...
fitted loads of the mintex and no one has had issues. read someone say they didn't last long with track use but had a set on the wife's car for at least 60,000 miles and they've been fine.
not checked on prices for a while but £350 ish upwards should get you a stand alone ecu, then the cost of engine loom for it and mapping.
what engine/spec are you going for? you could just run the standard ecu on it's own.
drop coolant, get dishwasher tablet, i use fairy platinum, mix it with hot water to dissolve it and then fill coolant system with water and add it to it. run it for day or two, 30-40 ish miles. drop it and do same again. that should sort it.
plenty of makes around now. not looked at omex for a while but they wouldn't be first choice. adaptronic are good, specialist components as well. depends on budget and what you want/need it to do.
so easy as well to hook up to something like a dash 2 with absolute minimal wiring.
Should know in a couple of weeks about getting rid of the immobiliser. Should have something tried and tested.
Also if you want to keep it cheap you can run bodies on standard ecu.
