like i said before, im just looking to make it so the cars drivable an maybe learn a little something

i will save cash to take the car in for tuning, but first things first, i need the parts!

I agree with Ben, you will get much out of the cam gears. If you have a calum ecu, there is absolutely no need for the afpr. Changing the kvalue in your map does the exact same thing as the afpr, you can lean out or richen the entire map just like the afpr would do. Not that I would recommend that, it's not a smart way to tune.

You can also do plenty of road tuning to get the afr in order, no need to spend money on the dyno for that right away. Save some money

Edit: I didn't see a second page, Bill hit the nail on the head.

When looking for a laptop I suggest getting one with a serial port to make things easier on you.

eBay is decent for cheap older laptops with serial ports.

I dunno... Just a thought.

Dell Latitude C610 is also a great buy for a older laptop.
