Default aftermarket computers?

alright so here is the question
i have a 1990 mustang lx 5.0 .040 bore, 10.5:1 comp. twisted wedge heads, trick flow cam and track heat intake, 36 lbs injectors, equal lenght shorty headers, no cats/egr/air pump, c&l intake and mass air flow, high flow pump, electric fan and aluminum rad.
but what i need to figure out is what the best computer system to run.
i have been looking at the aem and the pms, fast and accel gen7 use thier own harnesses, i would like to stay with stock wiring
what is the best for my setup and the possibility of future mods?

I use the tweecer, and love it.


PMS is also highly regarded.


The tweecer is said to have a tougher learning curve.

The pms is said to be quicker to pick up.

Either way you still have to take the time to learn the basics of tuning an efi car.

There is going to be a learning curve with ANY tuner.

The things you will need to do when tuning are not things that most folks think about, ever.

Regardless of which system you go with, it will be challenging for at least the first couple of weeks.


never heard of that Ford tuner.
Maybe it is OBD-II specific?

I never realized those Tweecers were so expensive ($350+). Then you need a laptop to tune the car, right?
