tweecer r/t can do more, and is cheaper (if you already have a laptop)
pms is easier to use and doesn't need a laptop.

used tweecer once, wasnt really impressed, but maybe if I used it more I would be, not sure on the cost of the unit, but there is also the AEM or SCT pro racer package out there.

Hey Tony,
I have not done any research on the others, but from what I have read on the Tweecer it sounds like a really good deal. If I can't get my car tuned right with the FMU when I get my new motor, I am going to switch to 42lb injectors and buy the Tweecer. My cousin has a wideband O2, so I can spend all the time I need tuning it.
Let me know what you find out and which one you go with. I like that the Tweecer can save several tunes. That way I could have an NA tune, a 8psi tune, a 10psi tune, and a 12psi tune for when I borrow your 2.95 pulley. The Tweecer can also be loaded with the program on the chip that I am currently running for a good starting point.
I am still trying to decide on a motor. I am waiting for Fords Boss 302 block to be released this year so I can see what it is all about. If it is no good, then I am going to use a Dart Sportsman block with a Forged 3.25 stroke crank. The cost is getting insane to make it strong!
When is the baby due? Basim told me that you are having a boy. Cool!
Good Luck with the car and the baby, Craig

I'm still undecided! Need to do more research on both to decide.

I haven't had any problems with the tweecer once I actually knew how to use the fucking thing.
Did take me a while.

you might as well order one, FMU's are not a tuning aid, they are a band aid

It seems like it depends on how much time you want to spend dialing the car in. TwEECer's have a huge learning curve and are not as 'user friendly' as the PMS is. The PMS really is plug and play, while with a tweecer there is so much information available and so many tables, etc. to deal with it may take a while to find out exactly what values need to be changed and such. That being said, it does offer more capability than the PMS, is cheaper, and datalogs.

After spending 9k on a roof, 5k on medical bills, and what looks like is going to be 6k on a motor, I will not be able to spend the extra $900 on 42lb injectors and the Tweecer. If I can't get a good AFR with the FMU and 30lb injectors, then I will have to run it NA for a while until I can afford the rest.
Besides, I had a good AFR before and it put out some good #'s on the dyno as well as times at the track. It worked fine for me before. I have chips that Byron programmed for me over the mail that take out some fuel to keep the FMU from causing a super rich condition. I have 4 different fuel curves that I can use along with different static fuel pressure and FMU discs to dial in the AFR.
