You can tune it yourself. The basic tuning principals don`t change, but it is a bit more complicated than tuning a carb......theres a lot more variables here, you have a lot more flexibility this way and can tune it to run a lot more efficient than if it was a carb, but it takes more time and effort.
You could have the harness done or do it yourself. Theres pinouts, wiring diagrams and how to`s in the FAQ sticky. Speartech and jesse at wait4me both have a lot of experience flashing the PCM for a conversion.
For a tuning program there are 2 main options HPTuners and EFILive 7. They are pretty similar, EFI is a bit more expensive and has some extra features, more shops seem to use it. HPT is a little less expensive and more home users seem to use it. I use HPT and am happy with it. For the most part they do exactly the same thing, EFI has more custom operating systems available. Its really a personal preference thing.
