Good setup for home tuning
Ok I know there are several options that I've read about in the past to tune yourself or that can learn, for example holley https://www.holley.com/products/fuel.../parts/550-601
but what I'm looking for is a decent cheaper option other than the holey kit that isn't too outdated and complex. Complex as too many parts, I can learn anything if I want to. Also don't want anything that will nickel and dime me.
I've had a custom mild chip burned and then my stock chip modded for data logging & retuned by a guy, neither tunes worked out too well. I hate to buy anymore tunes or even get a dyno tune since I'm always changing stuff on my 86 MAF car, so I kinda need something that I can do myself for when ever I change something on the car. Right now I don't even have a laptop, but I need to get one for my other cars programmable MSD and AFR. I've always been a desktop guy and assembled my own.
I know I've read about some motec stuff, just that was back when I had my 85 TA. Really don't wanna spend a lot or I might as well just buy a stand alone self tune setup like Fitech and ditch the TPI intake. I've been him-hawing about what way to go while just getting the car setup for mostly drag & some cruise since I've owned it. Not modded the engine too much but I'm sure just like a carb other changes to the car can effect the optimal tune.
Anyways just thinking aloud and seeing what's out there
edit: moates or w/e was just looking at megasquirt and they got too much junk LOL
