Default Boosted LS... Which ECU?

Hey im about to boost my LS ( obd2a ), which of course ill have to go ODB1 for the tune/chip. I have a P28, but from what i understand this will not work for what im going for? What ECU should i look to get? Thanks.

A P28 will work just fine. Select your tuner and go see them about getting it socketed/chipped.

VTEC will have to be disabled in whatever tuning software is used. Then it will work fine. You could also use a PR4, P74, or P75.
