what is all needed for proper DIY tuning

While piecing my swap together I decided. It would be a better option for me to learn to tune then spend the cash on a mail order then a dyno tune

Swap is a cammed lq4 with no emissions LTs to true duals and the car is a 95 formula a4 car with 4000 stall no ac or abs and plan to get rid of vats I. Was looking into getting hp tuners but is there anything else I should get to like a wide band and if so were to mount it

If you are using the 95 formula pcm you'll need to look into obd1 tuning options...the 95's use an obd2 port but obd1 pcm if I remember correctly. Not a whole heck of alot of options out there.

The pcm will be 99 to 02 f body I'm just using the older body style and converting the ls1 harness to fit the rest of the 95s wiring just a basic lt1 to lsx swap

Do you have cats? I had mine downstream from the front O2's and before the cats.
