Some "Noobie" Questions.

The mechanics of this project is nothing to me, I've worked on cars before and it is part of my major in college. The only part I'm iffy at is tuning the car. And if the only thing I have to tune is A/F then I'd really rather not take it to a pro for 500 an hour when I can have some of my supra vr4 or silvia friends help me tune it. But it does sound like it's more involved than that, so I may be so unfortunate as to be forced to bring it to someone.

Live monitoring will be a must for me, and I have no decided if I want to use the GPS screen or another screen where I can monitor several indicators(mounting it somewhere in the car like a 3rd party GPS).

I'm also planning on using a laptop for live engine feedback until the engine is finally tuned. Though there are few software options, uprev was one of the ones I'm aware of. Is there a standard what most Z guys do so uprev is standard? I'm more familiar with the cobb products which is why I ask.
