Default F1 Head Unit & Computer Question

With so many cars going turbo, does anyone know of a Procharger F1 head unit for sale? I am thinking about rebuilding my LT1 to a 396ci 9 to 1 CR and replace my P1SC with a F1 and try and get around 700 RWHP.

I have another question for all the FI guru...With my power level would it be better/necessary to upgrade to say an Accel DFI or can my stock computer be tuned to work with the setup I want. I was already screwed by a local person who said he knew what he was doing and I paid him $500 to tune my car with the setup in my signature. My injectors are 30lb and I bought all the bolt ons (including a Granatelli MAF) which I was told much later the reason the tuner couldn't tune with the MAF was because my MAF wasn't calibrated to 30lb injectors (is this true?). So the tuner went out and bought a 2 bar MAP sensor from a Typhoon and tuned in Speed Density (I later heard that you cannot just simply plug a 2 bar MAP sensor to a LT1 computer (is this true?)). How are boosted cars setup to run with the stock computer, is it just cheaper to buy the DFI with all the stuff that has to be done to use the stock computer?
Thanks For Any Info...
