Default What ecu should i run? and other technical ?'s

quick intro: my car (96 accord w/ stock f22b2) and my future mods you can see in my sig, But before i put my cam and all the fancy stuff in, as for now im just installing the milled and cleaned up P&P head to put onto my car. So basically it will be a stock f22b2 with just a head milled 30 thousandths installed. Im puttting my parts and doing mods one at a time as i would think it would be kind of neat to see how each one provides and feels to the butt dyno .

But My questions is with JUST the milled head being installed do i have to run a 90-93 ecu? And also can i run my f22b2 stock cam in that head? or should i pick up a cheap f22A series cam? reason im asking is that iv heard u want the head to match the ecu.. Now i have the obd2 to obd1 conversion harness to run the necesary ecu (and my P06 to tune once everything is on) but im okay with spending a little more on another stock cam or ecu so i can run it with just the raised CR to see how that does.

Thanks again for any info

You have too many things going on here.
First u can use a civic ECU and chip it. That will allow you to use any copy of any ecu you want.
Second If you shave a head it is necessary to get an adjustable timing gear.

Chipped P28 and have it tuned. You're in Richmond - I believe the man's name is Matt Shue (Shue Tuning) I know several people that have gone to him.
