take a look at www.efilive.com
There is a learning curve associated with any tuning package, so you should look down the road to decide which suite will be best for you.

I agree with TAQuickness. I personally would chose EFILive as it is a personal preference of mine. It is a little more expensive, but WELL worth it in the long run. With the new V2 interface that is about to be released, free updates, and EFILive specific custom operating systems (2bar), you will be set for life. I am runing a special on the current interface including a wideband for 950$. That is EVERYTHING you will need to tune the car minus the map sensor. You can get all the help you need over at www.efilive.com on how to start tuning the car from the ground up. We have had guys that have never used a EFI program tune twin turbo projects. Now I don't always recommend this, but it can be done. You may even download a free demo copy of the software to check out by clicking this link.
Just like TA stated, regardless of the program, there is a learning curve that you need to tackle. It will be intimidating at first, but don't worry, we all have been there. The guys over at EFILive will take good care of you and make your tuning experience a memoriable one.
