Some guys like to mount a laptop in their vehicle for tuning and logging. It is against the rules at many dragstrips to have a laptop just sitting in the seat next to you.

Changing parameters in the computer. More timing, less timing, more fuel, less fuel, etc.

Um, not sure what you're saying there, but, usually if a car has a laptop in it, it is using a program far more capable than your Diablo. Unless you're using CMR, which is more comparable to programs like EFIlive or HPtuners.

Either HP Tuners or EFI Live is a good tuning program but beware there is a ton of research and learning that needs to be known before you start messing with yours. If you are asking what they are then you are probably not there yet.
