Your best bet is to buy a pre-chipped OBD1 ECU from phea rable.net or xenocron.com with eCtune installed. It will come with a base map to get the car started, but you'll want to find a tuner soon after to either street or dyno tune.
You could tune it yourself, but 99.999% of people don't really know what they're doing. You'll have to purchase roughly $500 in equipment (data logging tools, chip burner, ROM emulator, wideband O2 setup), plus the eCtune software and license to do it correctly.
It's not cheap to get everything tuned on your own, and the license only works for one car. Many people complain about this and say they can get crome/uberdata/neptune for free, but there's a reason the developers did this.
It keeps the 'backyard tuner' from tuning everyone in the neighborhood. This keeps the software legit, eliminates piracy, and most importantly, prevents any Joe Shmoe from tuning people's cars. eCtune is MUCH better than any of the other chipped based programs out there, almost on the level of AEM's EMS, and has to protect itself from ignorant guys blowing up their cars because they don't know what they're doing, and giving eCtune the bad rap. User error is the biggest cause of engine problems for programs like Crome.
Do the OBD1 conversion. Purchase an eCtune equipped ECU from those sites, and locate an authorized tuner to tune your car. The authorized tuners are carefully screened and selected to have the privilege of using eCtune, and most will give you a good tune for ~$200.
