Default Which chip is best?

I bought a p28 ecu for my mini-me swap. It came with two chips. One is a Skunk-2 redline-8800 vtec-4300 the other is a Mugen redline-9000 vtec-5800. I am running a d15b7 with a d16z6 head on a 1994 civic hatch. Which chip is better for this application?

Marty,

I did read the stickies. The reason I am asking is because there is a sticker on the ecu that says it was modified by www.vtecrom.com. Are you familiar with this place?

take the stock ECU to a dyno shop and have them chip it for you. Basemaps (like the two you have) are strictly a guess, and you may get lucky and it'll be perfect, or you may be not so lucky and catch your engine on fire. Dyno FTW
