Default 2 Questions about SN95 and tuning

First question... are there any other programmers or software packages out there (besides TwEECer) that will allow me to reprogram the computer of an SN95 5.0? I have only ever seen TwEECer but I hear it's a bitchto learn. I weas hoping for something a bit mor euser friendly. But if I have to learn, then I have to learn.

Second question... can I use the programmer to reprogram the injector size? I'm wondering if I can get away with buying bigger injectors while using the stock MAF. I'm hoping that simply reprogramming the injector size will keep me from having to buy a new MAF calibrated to that size. In other words, if I get 42# injectors, do I have to buy a new sensor calibrated to 42# or can I simply reprogram the ECC to teh new size and let it make the necessary changes automatically? I'm pretty sure you can just reprogram it but I wanted to doule check.

LoL, as much as I thought about megasquirt, it's not gonna happen. No real desire for it. I'm looking for the simple way out to finally level off my mods. Dropping the nitrous too to keep the HP at or below 450RWHP.

I could bring it to a shop, but I like being able to change things myself. I also need to change the shift points and make a few other minor changes. With the programmer, I can make as many changes as I want as much as I want. And a Tweecer is only like $400 or so. Just hoping for a programmer thats easier to use.

the megasquirts are a fully funcually ECU.... it controlls everything.. its a nice computer... i would think it would cost u no more than 500 bucks when your all done.. its a lotta do it yourself stuff tho... if u want u can buy hte kit and put it together yourself and save a few hundered bucks... its just a lotta sodering from what i hear

I forgot about Anderson, but MAN are those expensive. I also forgot about "Ecc Tuner" which is a bit more econimical. It's priced about the same as a TwEECer, but I have never seen them personally so I don't know if they're as good. I guess I have to decide between those two.

But just to get a final answer... I can simply reprogram the computer for the injector size and I won't have to waste $ on a new MAS, correct?
