Most of the system are plug and play. They automatically do all the tuning based on the parameters you set. When I did my T bird the hardest part was hiding the wiring.
Thing is, these systems are marketed as “self-tuning”, which is deceptive: they build a rudimentary map that is good enough for most conditions, and certainly good enough to accentuate the advantages FI holds over carburation.
If you want to get the most out of a Sniper (and I do), you gotta get a laptop, a CAN cable, and Holley’s tuning software, and build one of these:
This is a timing map (useful only with a timing-control distributor), but a fuel map looks similar, and both enable you tune your engine to its particular strengths at various RPM’s rather than relying on the generic resident map.
I say I’m computer-averse, so I’m anticipating an uphill battle.

We Canucks are a sly bunch. Hey! Look over there! It's Anne Murray!
