Default 08 4.8 and 4l80e swap in 87 regal

Was looking to do microsquirt and jakes black box to
Make full manual on the 80e..wondering would it be any easier or cheaper to to use a 24x computer and harness to run motor and Trans conaidereing the adapter from 60e to 80e having computer tuned for the 80e and then running the lingenfelter 58x to 24x setup..from what I've read the 08 and up 80e are harder to make work in swaps when your not using original harness..
Anyone have any ideas how to make this cheaper or easier or is megasquirt and jakes box gonna be easiest/cheapest

Better off to sell the 4l80e and run a standard TH400. You can gear a turbo car high enough that you don't need OD in most cases. Then sell the 4l80e for a healthy profit and run the micro squirt.
