89 L98 Tuner options

What is availible for tuning the L98 from 1989? Even once I get the motor built the computer system will likely stay so I am looking to see what type of options are out there. Most of the stuff I have worked with in the past was just handheld, and I never actually got anything tuned with them.

Plenty, actually. Check out Moates.net for a lot of the hardware options. I use a program called Tuner Pro RT, which I like.

Looks like its $30 on that site? So that is just the software to run on the laptop I take it? I figured a system would run 400-600 $

You need a few other things to then burn your adjusted bin onto a chip which can then be installed in your car. Is your '89 an early speed density or the last of early year MAF setups?

Other then a laptop what else will I need to make this a good system to use for repeatedly changing things around and needing to keep up on fresh tunes?

Go to Moates and buy the G1 adapter with ZIF socket, Burn1 and a couple of the flash-able chips. A laptop with a serial port and windows 98 is a good combo. Buy or build the cable, then use Tuner pro for data-logging and bin work. Burn1 has got to be the easiest chip burner on the planet. I'm only suggesting these because I have them and they work.
