96-97 obd 2 motor in 94 ta Q's

I am building a 96-97 motor to put in my 94 T/a because I dont want to have to deal with the high stall problems people have with a nonvented opti. The motor is going to love spray with a nitrous cam and stall. This will be on a stock bottom end with arp bolt throughout. What do I need to do to the computer to make this work? Do I just get a 96-97 computer or do I need to buy a 96-97 computer and wiring harness? Any info is greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Steve

All you needed to to if you experienced the high stall problem is to convert to the OBD2 PCM. The opti and the rest of the engine have nothing to do with it.

Since you are using a 96-97 engine, you should just need the PCM. If you were using it with your 94 engine you'd need the PCM and knock sensor.

You're building an engine that "loves spray" with stock pistons?

So just the computer. How do I go about running a th350? What needs to change to run that tranny?

Stock pistons would not be okay for a 150 - 200 wet shot? Can I get good piston rings? I dont want to have the block bored to turn it in to a 355. What pistons would you run in a 350 ci LT1 if you were doing a budget build up?

I love you man!!! Is it for an auto car, or does that matter? I really have no clue when it comes to the computers? How much do you want for it?
