AFAIK there is no upgrades for the 92-93 speed density ECM. You could upgrade to SFI with 94-95 wiring harness and PCM oem would require adding MAF with relate ducts or custom reprogramming to keep speed density. Other option is stand alone and adapting it to car.

How much re-wiring are you willing to do? What is your goal with the new system (Do you own tuning, self learning, be LS Based, etc.)? That may determine what the recommendations are.

I am using Dynamic EFI's EBL on my TPI. I like it so far. It basically turns the factory ECM into a flash based ECM running the same logic. Not sure if this works on the 92LT1s or not.

Well, GO FASTER is the goal. Re-wiring, not much. I don't think I like the idea of cutting into the factory harness.

Go faster will be more more than tuning. Budget?

Yeah. I wouldn't want to spend more than double the cost of the factory ECM.
