Car: 86 IROC Engine: Stealth Rammed 406 Transmission: Hughes Performance 700r4 Axle/Gears: Moser Axles w/ 3.42 US Gear | So does the 165 need the adapter or not? Everything I read seems to point to "not", but Bill, would you please confirm?
Thanks,

Does your laptop have a parallel port? |

| New software revision I just released a new revision of the Prominator software...can be downloaded from http://www.speedtronics.net/software.asp. Nothing much different functionally...just some cosmetic changes and a couple of bug fixes. There is a revhistory.txt file included in the zip archive that explains what changed. If anyone finds any "bugs" or something that doesn't seem right, do let me know! As I'm sure Mr. Mangus will agree...I'm not much of a programmer!
You'll also notice that the web site looks just a "little" different and has a new URL. We decided misterbill.homeip.net just wasn't "catchy" enough (downright lame if you ask me, LOL).
Also, a few of you have open orders right now. I'm doing a shipment tomorrow...so if you have an open order and don't get it in a few days let me know.

I am interested too. But I am a newbie to custom tuning. I don't have achoice but to do it myself, as no one near me knows how. |

Car: 91 Caprice Wagon Engine: L03 Transmission: soon to be T56 | SOrry if this has been covered, but there is now 5 pages of info here and I am cross eyed after reading as much as I could.
What should I look for in a laptop to be able to use the PROMinator? I can't afford a new one, and will probably be ebay hunting for it.
or can I do this from my PC at home? Probably not?
I know it needs a parallel port right now, but what else????
I just missed a couple of P II 133s
I mainly just want to be able to tune the car with it.... no games, no bs.....

Car: 91 Camaro RS Convertible Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: 5-Speed | You can do it with pretty much anything. I'm using an old Pentium 133 laptop with 32mb of ram running Win 98. I wouldn't get anything under Win 98 though on there because I don't think TunerPRO supports 95 or below. |

98% of all aftermarket products for these cars are labeled "not legal for highway use." It's mainly so they can avoid the insane costs of getting DOT, EPA, and federal approval to use the stuff on public roads, and not go to jail.
There's no way anyone is going to know unless you tell them, they see the laptop hooked up, or they start digging around in your dash. |

Or how I would go about ordering it;
730 can run on the 64k and 32k since the standard bin is 32k
165 stock bins are usually 16k but they can run on 64 and 32 as well, just needs the correct offset.
7747/8746 and other c3 ecms use 4k.
In other words, tell me what ecm you're using and I'll give you a better/specific answer. |

If you think you might, at any point in the future, use your Prominator in another ECM (say a 165 or 730/749), you might want to go ahead and order a 32k version. It complicates things in that you have to offset or pad your bins when uploading, but it saves you the trouble and expense of having to buy another Prominator in the future.

Car: 1988 Camaro Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: 5 spd | I have absolutely no experience at all in programing chips so I want it to be as easy as possible. Also is there a place I can find a .bin to start with. I will be dropping in a 350 TBI so I need something that it will at least run with and then go from there. I understand that the prominator has a parallel port on it but my laptop does not. Can I use an USB to parallel cable from Radio Shack??

Car: 82 Corvette Engine: 350 CrossFire Transmission: 700R4 | Soon! We will have Prominators on hand in about a month or two. There was a group buy here recently but unfortunately it's over now.
Fortunately we will have several in stock, so if you order one once the page is back up, it won't be a long time before you get it. |
