Default Tuning a boosted Lt1?

Hey everyone, im just about to wrap up the assembly part of my install, and am wondering what program you guys are using to turn your boosted lt1s?
Some background info:
The car is a 97 z28, with a stock engine, 42# injectors, full exhaust, and a d1 pullied for 6-7psi, and an AEM wideband.

So the car is obd II, and lt1 edit seems like a viable choice, but im not sure if it is good for tuning a boosted application? Are there any other tuning programs for obd2 lt1s?

The other idea was to swap to an obd 1 setup using madtuners obd1 swap PCM and an AKM cable, would this be the better way to go? What is good boost tuning software for an obd1 computer?

My shop says they would be able to tune the car using any program i provide them with, so not a worry there.

Thanks!

Switch to an obd1 PCM and use tunerpro rt. It'll be cheaper than anything you do obd2.

That was the initial thought. Is tunerpro rt good for tuning fuel wise and duty cycle?

It's working great for me. I use data master to log. tunerpro will too, but it can be buggy. And as of now tunerpro won't do duty cycle.

At your boost level your injectors should be fine.
