no offense as i wouldn't know what i was doing if i sat down in front of EFI live or some similar program, but if this guy is asking this question then he DEFINATELY wouldn't. i'd suggest paying a place to dyno tune your car, where you located man?

It works from your laptop. Im not sure if you take the computer out. I think you connect the car computer to your laptop and using the software, you custom tune it. It seems very high tech and cool.

The software package comes with a cable.
One end of the cable connectes to the OBD-II Diagnostic Port under the dash in the driver's footwell. The other end of the cable connects to a PC via the USB or Serial port.
