i am looking for programing software that i can hook up to my laptop via USB port. also if there is a program that i can use for real time stats of the car while its running. I am looking to reprogram my ecu to match the performance parts that i will be adding for max performance. any info will be helpful please add links if posable. the car is 89 iroc/tpi/map sensor

 

if your running the factory ECM then http://www.moates.net/ will have everything you need.
if you don't have any chip burning hardware, the AutoProm is probably the way to go, it comes with a cable for data logging, a registered version of TunerPro, and can do real time emulation & burn chips.

some basics for chip tuning, https://www.thirdgen.org/promintro

for more info on chip burning read through the stickies in DYI PROM,
