well you can't mess with obd2 ecu's, so you'll need to chip a obd1 ecu, so it will allow you to "tune"

Unless you plan on boosting with an SC, Turbo or Nitrous, chipping your ECU isn't going to be worth the cost for an IHE/Cams modded vehicle.

Yep. Ok well since he wants to know how much it'll cost.

Virgin P28 = 100-150 depending on where you look to find one.
www.moates.net chipping kit = (I wanna say) around15+ shipping.
soldering gun = GET A LOW HEAT GUN, 20-40 bucks.

Roughly 230-250 for the whole setup that you won't be using except maybe for datalogging.

Moates P28 chipping kit =

^ and with that said, I strongly suggest finding someone local who has done it and then leeching off this persons knowledge until their brain is dry.

Yes, I believe Moates sells pre-chipped P28s.
