Question Recommendations for use w/supercharger?

I know I'm an oddball with my supercharger, but what computer would you guys suggest? I'm currently running just the factory computer, and I think I could tweak a few more hp out of my setup with a programmable fuel/ignition setup. I've thought about a piggyback like the Apex Super-AFC, or going all out like a Haltech, but I'm not sure. Suggestions?

Chuck,
If you are looking for more power and reliablity, go with the haltech.

You can control the timing and fuel much better, your car will run more richer from the beginning with the haltech. Something the stock n/a ecu can't do unless you start playing with the fuel pressure and fooling it.

Is the best bang for the buck. Does you engine have a lot of miles?

Vosko's right, its a fresh rebuild. I'm running the factory 460cc/min primary injectors, 550cc/min secondaries, Paxton's BDFPR, RP fuel pump, and it runs very rich.

The reason I was thinking S-AFC was that my boost profile is pretty much linear compared to rpm, and I think it would be easier to install and tune, provided I got a better O2 sensor to work with.

Just get a S-AFC and tune it down on a dyno so that it doesn't run so rich, that's pretty much all you need, Haltech is good, but you will have to depend on someone to install, tune it and if something goes wrong with it, well you know. I guess I just don't like depending on other people, if it's just running rich get a S-AFC, install it yourself, and it'll solve your problems. BTW I know your car, I used to see it at the previous shop you used to take it to, I hope you got rid of that stupid catalytic converter by now, it was costing you HP. BTW if you need more fuel just get a HKS AIC, Greddy Rebic 4, or a Haltech F5 to control some additionals.
