I'm using the rx8 ecu for the electronic power steering, abs and lights and cab stuff, ones I've put the key in and turned to power irl find a live feed that will switch the relay on to power the gm ecu and all engine functions

I'd suggest looking at a fuse block diagram for the donor car. Take the current ratings for the fuses of each circuit that you want to include and add them up.

That'* a huge load for a single relay. You will have to divide the load across 2 or more relays.

No such thing as free software. You will need HPTuners to do what you want. $500. There is no work around with this. Period. I wouldn't trust EFIlive as far as I could throw it.
You would need to make your own OBD2 16 pin connector. You will only need 4 wires I believe. CAN high, CAN low, BATT, GRND.
