Default Emanage ultimate or UTEC

Well, I'm about a week away from buying everything for a FI system. Pretty sure a Vortech. I live in California and plan on keeping my roadster for quite a while so that means CARB legal. Does anyone know if I can legally run something other than what comes with the supercharger such as UTEC or Emanage. Also do I need to or should I install a separate wideband o2 sensor/knock sensor and do they connect directly to the UTEC or Emanage.

I'd prefer to just get a tuners FI setup so I could have a tune for the CARB legal pulley and another for running a higher boost pulley. Also which would be the better ECU for this.

NO EMANAGE! use a utec. I have a emanage on my current car and it has been nothing but problems. It will end up costing as much as a utec after all the failed tuning sessions anyway i would know

I'll go ahead and throw in a EU vote, since every one on this forum thinks Emange=death or something.

I have an EU, and it sucks for timing adjustment (at least if you're trying to advance timing)

Emanage is fine but its jsut too entry-level EMS and the EU has lots of features that dont work with the Z
