Default boost controller - by speed or gear

I've got a TT Z06 I converted over to a 4L65E (thanks RPM - Rodney)

I currently have the Blitz III boost controller (and really never use it)

looking to update the boost controller, to something that allows "boost by speed" or boost by gear to allow me to bring more power in on the top end

I've heard good things about the AES 1000 *(sorry if I got the name wrong)*

I'm also looking to go with a paddle shifter and possibly update the tranny controller.

most of the TCI systems I've seen don't fit the corvette steering wheel unless you rig up some hokey buttons.

wondering if the more modern corvette steering column or just the "paddles" could be adapted?

thanks for any advice, the car runs great (800 rwhp at 17 psi) but I "dial it down" to 600 rwhp so I can better control it. it runs really well at that level and I'm running Toyo RA1 (335/18) or hoosier 315/17 drag radials which hook well.

if I can go from 13 psi in the lower gears or speed and ramp up to going 18 psi above 60-80 mph (or when I hit 3rd gear) that I think would be ideal!

thanks for your suggestions
