PCM Choice for Engine Swap?
Just to start off, I have searched but haven't really found a good, clear answer.
I have a '93 Mustang that I'm doing a 5.3/TH400/S400 turbo swap into. I'm looking to run the factory truck intake, 3 bar MAP sensor, and 80 lb injectors. Obviously, I'm not running any sort of electronic transmission, and I'm looking at getting rid of EGR and emissions. It'll be cable operated throttle.
The car will be tuned by myself with HP Tuners.
Basically I'm just looking for a clear answer on what PCM would be best to get, as I don't have one yet. From what I've gathered, I think a 99+ truck PCM would work, but I'd like to get other opinions before I spend the money.
Thanks for any help

What vehicle and years could I find the 0411 computer in? What are the benefits of the 0411 over others?
Sorry for all of the questions. I'm still fairly new to the LS game, as everything I've done up to this point has been carbureted SBF.
Thanks for the help.

And I'm still reading into HPT and tuning in general, but I was wondering if you could maybe quickly explain what this custom operating system is and how it works.
Sorry the constant questions, but it's already helped a lot

Already have a 5.3 with a cam and a TH400. That, and I rather buy a converter for a 400 than a 4L80E. And being a turbo car I won't be running a tall rear gear, so I don't mind the lack of overdrive. My last setup had a C4 transmission and 4:10 gears, so this will definitly be an improvement.
Also, I found the 0411 PCM's in a few junkyards around me for pretty cheap. Thanks for the help.
