Your best bet would be to contact a tuner that can do a custom chip for you. Give them a list of all of your mods. They will tell you where to set your base timing with their chip.

Does either SCT or diablo have a chip for the 89 A9L computers or is it a custom job?

+1 I would do a computer or a piggyback. that way you don't have to keep buying a new chip every time you add a mod. As far as a TwEECer RT being easy to play with.... well I'm not going to open my mouth because I don't own one yet but I did download the software on my computer just to play with it because I heard it wasn't very user friendly... I heard right.

But thats not going to stop me from purchasing it. If it will save me money in the long run, I'll figure out how to use it some way or another. I figure Ill pay to have it dyno tuned once and have the tuner give me a rundown on it and go from there.
