UUHHHH, HuHu....Stony said Tool! Good question my friend and the answer is.....a wide band O2 sensor. Well, short of that and to save yourself some cash you can use a digital voltmeter. The EGT will be good for full boost adjustment/fine tuning of fuel and can be used to adjust the timing under low load cruising. The afr meter or voltmeter is good to initially adjust fuel under boost and for your cruising. The Halmeter is great because the 30LED display gives good resolution. An awesome tuning tool that I recently have taken full advantage of is the knock sensor. The Electromotive uses this and I datalog and record any knock I see and make adjustments accordingly. Anyway, I would get the Halmeter and an EGT at the minimal to get any good results by street tuning. Suprisingly, you can get alot accomplished without the dyno!
