You can check out our full vehicles listing here http://www.hptuners.com/products/vcmsuite_vehicles.php the hardware we use is about as future proof as it gets regarding vehicles.
If you have any specific questions regarding our hardware, software, vehicle support or capabilities let me know.

Bill,
I've been meaning to ask, isn't the link in your signature that says RTT for only $49 a little misleading? As far as I understand, for any vehicle, RTT requires an enhanced OS...and that costs 2 credits. 2 credits at $49.99 each sounds more like $99.98 to me.

It's not the peak HP number that matters. Rather, control at high engine speeds.
You could safely use any early model LS1 ECU (and up) for anything below 8000RPM. If an ECU needs to be fitted and you want to stick with GM the E67 ECU that utilises the 60-2 crank wheel is my preference for anything serious and for very high RPM, although I have reservations about the 4-pole cam wheel & harmonics.
You have to factor in costs for harnesses and gauge support, and most likely if you already have a stock LSx ECU fitted you would just go with that.
For aftermarket, theres heaps of options, ranging from engine controllers like Autronic, Pantera, Competition Systems, BigStuff, Magnetti Marelli etc... through to transmission controllers like Powertrain Control Systems, BigStuff3 etc... Costs vary significantly. This is just off the top of my head and from my own limmited research.
If you are budget restricted that will ultimately be your controlling factor
