I agree with your assessement, except to say that the LH system will be nowhere near any of my cars. AEM, Megasquirt, (I already have the MS) are all specific options for the boosted motor. And 3500 is outrageous. MS is 600 assembled tops. The AEM standalone may get there, but thats streetable, fully tuned and having paid for the wiring and help before that. You get the basic unit installed and wired yourself, with a quick street tune and you pay less.

Best case scenario for starting DE's is to strip the car down as light as possible as less-weight is perfectly in-tune horsepower, 'big brakes', and a handling kit, all rolled into one mod, the 'perfect' mod. Noteworthy: it's free free free.
Run a stock engine with an exhaust; it will run forever AND sound great.
Install engine-oil and tranny coolers, track wheels/tires/pads, gauges, and learn how to drive the wheels off of it in that configuration.
Only then, think about more horsepower.
