Default Launch Control, WOT shifting...what brands??

I have looked at KP Technologies and N2MB. What are your experiences with each, and what do you recommend? Any others I should consider? Looks like the MSD ones all require MSD ignition, and I'm on stock ignition.

I think most people swear by just using Uprev to have a launch control. I was considering one of these myself, but what kind of pushed me away from it is that I have stock cats. If you are running cats I advise against it since it destroys them. If I ever install test pipes I will probably go with kp technologies since I have heard good things about them from various people.

I have considered that, since I have Uprev, but a couple reasons I'm leaning towards going with another option:

Uprev doesn't actually change the timing to help get spool up before launching.
Uprev requires manually changing (and timing) the map using the cruise button.

Other options automatically make adjustments by tapping into the clutch switch and will allow WOT shifting. I figure for $130-200, it's worth that much.

to do any of those properly, you need to have a full ECU to control everything, rpm, timing, AFR.

Those little add on boxes cant do that
