Default Tuning with an Auto?

I have a 94 LS Teg that I am going to do an LS/VTEC swap to. The question is, Is there a EMU that will work with an auto transmission?

Yes, I am a NOOBS. I did use the search, and did not find and topics that directly answered this question. I did look, if there is one I night have missed it. so just link me to it. Thanks.

Appendage:

Okay, I found another forum/site that mapped out using NepTune with a P75 ECU and an Auto. But is you still have input please share.

Any particular reason why you MUST run an automatic transmission? Automatic transmissions lose TONS of power as heat, and don't work too well with high-revving motors (like anything that is DOHC VTEC). Going with a manual transmission would be highly advisable.

Yes, there are two reasons. One is because of a small budget and the second is because my wife will have to be able to drive it. Maybe some day I will get around to teaching her how to drive a manual. But for the most part its the money issue.

And yes I am aware of the power loss. IMO the power lose is more do to weight then heat. As for the "Not working well with high revving engines." My 2000 Mirage had an auto and well so is my teg and it holds its own. When I am just driving I just put it in D4, when I need a quick start I just "Shift" it from first to fourth when needed.
