Only solution you are going to find for that is software they want money for. There are folks out there that sell single user licensed software for around a hundred or so, but, there is more hardware you need to be able to write the tunes to the pcm as well. (tuner, another 150 or so.)

I saw something about this a while back, but, can't remember where I found it.... Google is your friend though..... How's your Google-Fu?

If you want to tune with a laptop on the fly, standalone is the answer.

The 40lb injectors are are about 20# too big for your mods...Who said you need 40s?

SCT has the PRP package but it's a steep leaning curve, as said get a standalone. Fast XFI...Megasquirt....etc etc

Megasquirt is your only option using factory sensors. And it's not a plug n play affair.
