I'm looking to get my supercharged 93 Coupe tuned and I was trying to see if anyone here tunes their own cars. If so, trying to see what you use and why you chose one system over another?

My purpose of the car is strictly street, no drag, just trying to replace the old stand alone system, EPEC, that the car has. Any feedback greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can get a pretty decent tune yourself with a data logging wideband like an innovate lc1 and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I tune my own cars based off of air fuel ratio. I may not be squeezing that last 10-15 horses out of them, but for saving all that $ paying a shop to tune I think it's worth it

I believe any performance vehicle should have a wideband in it regardless
