you need the aldl cable, a computer (laptop is the easiest obviously), software (tunercats, lt1edit, tts datamaster). A wideband is ideal if not necessary since you need to know if you are running lean or rich. But when i got my car tuned on the dyno it went up to 175mph or so. So you will need a long stretch of road and that seems a bit crazy to me. I think you would only be able to do some light tuning without knowing what you are doing. the alternative im sure you know, is get it dyno'd (the best route) and tuned, or use one of the mail in tuners. since they have been doing it for a long time, they can just send you a code they know works
