Not sure on which ECu to get

Alright I am going to be buying an ECU soon and I want to know which one has the most detailed tunning in its ecu. Meanning which ecu can make the most fine pin poitn adjustments to my engine and which woudl most likely get max power gains? I 'm sure this ha sbeen aske dbut I havnt really found anything compairing a MoTec, a Wolf, E-manage, and PFC. I am looking to use my car mainly for AUto-X, Track, and drift. Which one would give me the most flexibility in tunning between the 3 events?

How much do you want to spend? And who's going to tune it?

Of the commercially-available units, I think the Motec M880 is the most detailed ECU with the most "pin-point" adjustments. Plan on about $10,000 for a full setup, and an additional $3,000 to $5,000 for installation and tuning.

Max power gains are more of a function of the tuner rather than the ECU. If you want to get the most power out of your engine, then make sure you hire a good tuner.

Ah, a much better question, indeed.
