With no real information to draw from or go on, road tuning ignition is pretty difficult and likely nonproductive.

However, if you have the stock ignition tune to work from or knowledge of it you can do some relatively educated tuning simply by realizing there is a margin of error in the stock tune and there are better octane fuels to use. Also if you know of dyno results from other ignition tunes and/or have EGT data from known improved ignition tunes you can use that to make educated decisions on your own tune. If you have detonation detection that too can be used in a round-about way to at least help you tune some areas and/or feel safe.

AEMĀ® - X-WiFi Wideband Air / Fuel Controller and EGT Monitor
I found this. What do you think?

I think you are going waaaaay too fast.

You should learn the theory of how to tune ignition with a dyno, how to tune ignition with EGTs, and how to tune ignition in other ways before you decide on your method of tuning.

As for that AEM unit. There is no way in hell you need WiFi capability from an EGT controller, nor do you need to spend over $200. You should be looking for something more like this: Powertrain Control Solutions - EGT Modules
But really, you'll need to do way more research before you can decide exactly what you want to buy and how it will work with your system and if you even want to tune ignition this way.
