ECM shot! Upgrades available?

I just found out that my ECM is shot and needs to be replaced. Is there any possible mods that I could improve on with the ECM since I have to purchase another one anyways? Appreciate anyones help!

You could convert to the SD 7730.

The 1227165 used by your car was not used in as many vehicles as the 1227730 and getting harder to find in a wrecking yard. While the 1227730 is pleniful. Also, you eliminate that expensive MAF sensor - which is when most guys consider converting.

Sorry Glenn, on reviewing my post I realized that I didn't mention that my car is an 88 T/A w/ a 305 TPI (LB9). Forgive my ignorance (I am a rookie in every sense) but is there an advantage to eliminating the MAF sensor? Is the 7730 compatible w/ my engine? Does it offer a performance advantage? I really appreciate your response.
