You'll need to purchase the crome pro license ($150) to do live tuning and datalogging. That brings the total to $449.

Or you can get this all in one kit for $399, software included. The hardware is also made by Moates.net, so top notch quality. NepTune is quite a bit better than Crome.

Yes, you'll need a wideband too.

As JR mentioned.

The best bang for the buck would be a neptune rtp system or eCtune rtp system.
Crome is not worth the money they charge for it.

If you don't understand how to read an ignition map, definitely read a book or take a class. Fuel maps are different for different softwares, but generally a higher number is more fuel. If you don't know the ins and outs of tuning, a book or class will help.

Ben Strader's book titled "Building & Tuning High-Performance Electronic Fuel Injection" covers the bases. He is the founder and senior instructor of EFI University.

• Define air and fuel requirements
• Set up base fuel and ignition maps
• Modify your fuel and timing maps
• Adjust timing for cold-starting
