This, but if you didn't already know that answer then you don't want to start screwing around with your ECM. It could get really expensive really fast if you don't know what you are doing.

You gotta start somewhere. Download the efi live software and look at some tunes and tinker around with that. If your prepared to spend hours reading before you attempt to make any adjustments than go for it. But beware its not 5 minutes and its done. Lots of time goes into it especially starting out speaking from what experience I have.

HPT or EFI live. But like stated, if you don't already know.......Before you go spending money on anything, or should I say, before you go plugging in your laptop. You will want to spend about 6 months reading and reading on the internet, talking and asking questions to people on forums. And then reread everything you read before two or three times again.

I worked for years in a shop that tuned foreign cars, not to many domestic but when I started with HPT I was completely lost. Its not like a video game where you just press a few buttons and boom your done. If you do spend the time to do the research and invest in the software, feel free to hit me up for any questions. If I can help I will. I wouldn't call myself a tuner, and I would not be your first choice to tune your car.....lol. But I know enough to help you find the answers to the questions you will have.
