You seem like a thorough guy. General advice, if you already done it, just ignore.
-Basic setup with synching the throttle bodies etc.
-Cam timing
-Mapping
On the 999 you can settle with a PC as the ignition timing is good as is.

If its a base 999 you may want to consider S cams, they will punch the top end close to ten hp.
If so do that first :)
 
FDTI drivers, yes.
PC is a lower spec unit, but does all you want fuelingwise.
Flash memory is resided inside the unit, not detachable.

FBF = Fast by ferracci, company.

The stock unit takes you can deshiffer(spell?) the code, ie understand it, takes some fiddling but nothing too hard (patience), microtech includes software interface with everything explained straight forward, downside pricey.

I like the challenge of working the stock unit, the only upside microtech has to me is dual maps, but the stock ecu can be reprogrammed to do that too.
 
Thanks for the awesome help TomTom! I know I don't have much help to offer but I do have this for you...decipher is the word you were looking for! :) I like a good programming challenge too! I've worked on programming quite a bit in regards to phones and computers, I'm sure stepping into the realm of automobiles isn't going to be too hard since I've grown up working with the mechanical side of them! After I finish tinkering with the bike, maybe I'll start messing with my other vehicles! Then again, I may never be done tinkering with my bike! :D
Ive worked as a system developer last 15 years and it helps, but it aint the key to this, general openness will show you the way, an open mind.
I usually think completely the other way from most people and THAT helps :)
Not saying Im better, just different, plus I got the guts to beleive in my self -> result.

I can go up 7 in the morning coming back 9 at evening and I dont mind, effort I dont mind.
Ive put so many hours into this its silly, but stubborn I do it, no regrets, its what I do best, love it!
Im fully open and dare to share my results and discuss them.
