You can buy all of the tuning equipment need to simply datalog and burn for very cheap, if you're handy with soldering and don't mind using somewhat more difficult to use programmers than the ones geared towards automotive tuning.
I gotta be honest though, I'm handy in both arenas (I work/play with electronics), and the "extra" expense of buying the Moates gear just makes it so easy. The Emulator(s) that are available make tuning VERY easy to do, and you can see the effect of the changes immediately (for most parameters), which cuts tuning time WAY down compared to the log n' burn method.
