Engine Management Suggestions- LS3 with Maggie

I want some suggestions on an engine management system for my fully built LS3 with a Maggie 122. I will be running 16 pounds of boost. This motor came with a 68 Camaro I just bought. Car is a full pro-touring build and is more than setup for this motor. Let me know.

There are several that will do the job, I'm going to use the Holley Dominator EFI for my 6-71 blown 408 because it will also control the 4l80e trans I will be using. Holley also has their HP system, It basically a stripped down version of the Dominator system for those who don't need to control the trans and a few other features found on the Dominator system.
There is also "Fast EFI" and "Big Stuff 3" among others.

My car a T56 setup so no need for transmission control. I have looked into Fast but not Big Stuff, I will. Just want something reliable or at least as reliable as I will get with a motor like this! Thanks for your input.

You can't go wrong with any of the big names.

Do a search, this has been beat to death around here lately.

I used the Holley HP, with the right wiring harness it was simple to install, and easy to get running-I always ran blowthru carbs, so my first FI
my computer skills are pretty lacking, lol, so some stuff I didn't understand, but so much info out there it was easy to get help
they have a great data logging ability, and have an internal logger if you don't have the laptop hooked up
I run around 14 lbs boost, punch in some #'s, and it learns and makes the adjustments
