Any moates for dummies help?
Ok What do I need from moates to tune my 86 tpi? I read stuff like "flash on the fly" and that makes me believe I can just hook up a laptop and tune and then unhook when done. I see parts and I see kits, but I know from experience kits aren't always the best because they just have more crap.
What hardware do I need?
What software?
No bells n whistle extras I'll never use.

Can't really just hook up a laptop and go with our cars, at least how they come from the factory. I suppose at the VERY least, you'd need a laptop, a bin editor/tuning software, a chip burner and a the proper chip. But that's no data-logging or real time tuning. The Moates Autoprom will do all that. That's the way I was gonna go, but ended up going with the Dynamic EFI/EBL Flash set up.
I can almost guarantee your first 50 or so questions are answered in that link. As for Dynamic EFI...http://www.dynamicefi.com/

I misspoke, I meant burn a chip in the car. Not while it's running, I do know oem stuff is pretty old n basic. My current prom/chip w/e it's called is set up for data logging if I get the gear to do it. So if I had the stuff to data log, then make the tune and then burn it. idk just what is what and don't trust any vendor to not try and sell me the undercoat.
Saw the FAQ, just old posts and I know even for old stuff like this a lot can change. I've spent time researching info for other stuff before to only find it's beyond obsolete and I wasted a lot of time.
