Is TwEECer still the best?

Hey guys.  It's been since last summer that I worked on the T-bird, as I'm now living in Omaha while the Bird is still at home (along with the SSP).  I'll get a little bit of time to work on the car in about six weeks , and I've been planning a method of attack to hopefully get to the bottom of the engine problems I had last summer.  I think a wide band O2 kit (any suggestions on brand?) and an engine management kit will finally allow me to "see" what inputs the computer has to work with, so I can (hopefully) find whatever sensor or solenoid is acting up, as well as make sure the speed density system is calculating the fuel correctly.  Since I've been out of the loop for so long, I don't know if the TwEECer is still be best choice for engine management.  Has anything new came out that is cost competitive that offers the same programmability?

Thanks

Joe

Thanks for the reply, but if I'm not mistaken, the mega squirt is an assemble-it-yourself engine management solution with the learning curve being fairly steep.  Not really looking to replace Ford's EEC-IV, I just want to tune it :)

I love my Tweecer.  :)  Certainly one of the most powerful tuners out there.  Great to get it used and 'cheap' too.
Willpower is no match for Horsepower.

Unless you go with aftermarket EFI, the twEECer is still the best. ;)

OH!  OKAY!

Cause it was so hard to get mine setup!:locked:

Just kidding, but it really isn't as hard as people think, I think by the time you set it up you'd be much happier with the Megasquirt simply because it is so easy to tune.
