Get this book and a programming cable. The guy that wrote the book is the same guy that does the factory training classes for ACCEL.

Try summit/jegs, I don't know if they still sell them or not. Else, call the DFI tech line @ 248 380 2780 and see if they have any left. They are getting hard to come by.

I believe version 6.32 was the last version of the tuning software. You're locked into just using Accel software.

There's a ton of info., at the DIY-PROM board. Lots of tuning stuff in the stickies.

Taking notes, and noting trends is critical. With real time tuning you can go right past correct, extremely easy. Lots of notes helps to reduce the wasted time factor.

You use a PC as the "tuner". You install the CALMAP software onto the hard drive and connect the cable to the PC and the DFI box.
