Take a look at www.efilive.com. You will need a WB and full tune package.

If you had a Vinci handhled,you could raise the idle for the big cam.

TA is right... hulk you need Tuning package software.

Handhelds won't allow you to tune the non-WOT portions of the VE table and Spark table.

Might seem expensive, but it's the best money you'll ever spend;
there is a learning curve, but it is very worhwhile.
