What would be nice is a wiring harness that connected to various places on the engine with a line output that plugged into a laptop. Then a piece of software that took these engine outputs a displayed them graphically and let you tune the engine scientifically .I have seen machines, engine analyzers, in garages.

Is there PC software that simulates these engine analyzers?

except, there's nothing to tune on our engines ...
the "brain" is analog. all that stuff was built long before laptops ...

if you have a "brain" with a mixture knob, you can turn that one by hand!

now, if one was going to convert to a aftermarket FI, like the MegaSquirt or Link, that's a completely different story ...
