If you do it yourself completely you need to understand the binary portion of the rom, how to make it into a human readable thing, how to identify its parts and how to modify it.
Generally you will also need a computer, a soldering/desoldering iron, nerves of steel *******izing and putting a socket in your ECM and a ROM reader for the PC.
I failed when I tried that route so I am little help, also remember each vehicle and motor varient has its own club and potential utilities, a google search might help.
Oh and if you do it yourself it voids any warranty you may have.

Hrmm... Not at all concerned about warranty. I've never owned something with a warranty.
I'm a little light on nerves of steel when dealing with modifying the code in an ECU and with soldering electronics. I'm sure I could do it, I just don't have the experience to make sure my custom tune doesn't burn a hole in a piston.
I *may* still bite the bullet and give a reprogrammed ECU a try, but probably not a DIY on this mod.
