1 x USB to Serial Adapter - Works with MegaTune! $22.00
Anything else I'll need? I've been keeping an eye out and I think I've got everything accept a sensor maybe, but I plan to try the stock ones first using a similar switched system to what kingofl33t sells. I'm not going to share exactly how I'm doing it though as I feel he is providing a very good service to the community and those who can't figure it out for themselves should pay for that service.
This is will for a parallel install with the stock ECU. I'll also be ordering an AEM WBo2 gauge when I get my first paycheck mid january.

You definitely need an IAT sensor. Why get the AEM when you can get the LC1 for about $100 less? Unless you're getting a great deal somehow. Also you might as well go ahead and order the parts for the EBC.
Do you still need the serial cable and external serial/usb adaptor? All of the USB "daughter" boards i've seen for MS replace the MAX232 chip. You have either USB or serial but not both.
Where did you end up getting a job at?

Got a job with Oceaneering DTS (Deepwater Technical Solutions) in Houston. And you are right... I have the daughter board for the usb conversion as well as the serial adapter->usb adapter. I meant to remove one or the other during checkout but I guess I missed it. So, I suppose I'll have some extra parts around incase something doesn't want to work correctly.
Sigh, I'll get the IAT locally. Can't be that hard to get a GM connector at a pick a part. I can't remember if I can split the coolant temp sensor with the stock ecu or not, so I might end up adding another one of them as well.

Oh yeah... and I'm going with the AEM because it actually includes a gauge. By the time I get a gauge for the LC-1 I'm sitting at roughly the same price or more. It also helps that I've used the AEM in the past (formula sae) so I know how to set it up.
Plus there's the problem of where to fit it, there's not a lot of places you can use without losing something i.e. airvent, cubby box etc.
