Got a Accel Power Processor DFI piggyback unit....what can I tune with it?

I picked one up off of Ebay and ordered the MAF-Speeddensity converstion wire from http://www.fasttrackperformance.com/

I have read that I need a laptop that is 166mhz or slower to connect to the Accel box to tune it. It came with Calmap 6.0 btw.

Does anybody have any experience with this unit? I was wonder what all I can tune with this older Plug-n-play DFI unit.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit- Will I still have to burn chips for certain things?

If I remember it right it only fuel and spark you can tune witch power processor and you still need to burn PROMs to tune everything correct.

So everything but the fuel and spark will have to be done on the prom. So if I go with bigger injectors would I still need a prom burn or would the processor be able to compensate?

I kinda feel like I just wasted money.

If I remember it right, its been a few years since I had one.

- Idle can you adjust on a littte screw on the box
- WOT can you also adjust on a little screw
- Part throttle you tune in a VE table just like in the 8D code so
you can tune for bigger injectors.

I sold mine when I got into DIY PROMS........
