What more info do you need? I have the SCT brand computer that piggybacks the ECM on my 89 LX. Since this is an older system it can only be tuned by an authorized SCT dealer. I was wondering if there were any other manufacturers of computers that would allow my car to be "self" tuned rather than me having to travel 6 hours each way to my nearest SCT dealer who f****d up my motor the last time I dealt with them. I have a highly modified motor and am thinking about ripping out the SCT unit. Just wondering what else is out there. Is that enough info?

Minnow, thanks for the info. I guess I call it a tuner because it is used to tune the car, but it is not a hand-held tuner so I can see where it would bs consisted a chip. I did see the PMS system and saw that it gave the user total control. Didn't quite like the $900 price tag, but hopefully you get what you pay for with it. I will check into the others too. Thanks.
