Default Which ECU would be better to run with my d16a6/y8 minime?

I know that the best one would be to convert to obd1 and run p28 and that is on my to do list. But this weekend, I'm heading out to the 1/4 mile track. I have the stock PM6, PG7 and PR4 ecu from the integra. the pg7 ecu seems to run stronger than the stock pm6 but what about the pr4 ecu? would I be wasting gas? is it safe?

This is my setup:
stock d16a6 block
d16y8 head with stock cam w/ Adj. AEM Cam Gear (not sure if it's the z6 cam gear or the y8 cam gear. Putting it at 0 seems to run weak on low end so I leave it at 4.5 degrees advanced runs strong from about 2k to 4k then good pull from 4 - 5.5 then vtec sets in)
Stock exhaust, stock cat (probably clogged cause vtec isn't pulling as it should, will gut out before track day)
stock muffler
short ram intake.

you guys ever think of sending your ecu to Zdyne to get done? this is the route i am going so i can get a few other things done. doin the "1 wire vtec" setup. a good bit of money (atleast to me) but i figure the launch control and such will be well worth it. u guys ever think of that or not? or

What about from the 3 that I have? I have already ordered the OBD1 kit but it won't arrive until after the tracks. And I still have to get the dizzy and ecu and get it tuned

out of teh ones u have...

the PG7 will own all...

the PR4 migth feel stronger on the top, but the mid range will be to rich...

i wouldnt even bother with the pm6 the extra few hundred RPM's on the PG7 make a HUGE difference
