95 LT1 Editing

Ok, so i've done the OBDI thirdgen tuning and I've got a friend who wants me to tune his 95 LT-1. The I've got Tunerpro, the PP2 and I've even used the Prominator already....(Frigin' Awsome!!) The question is....Do I really need the cable to program, or is it still a removable memcal?? I've made a cool little adaptor that allows me to keep the chip in the memcal and read it via the PP2. If it's got the memcal I can pull it out and read it as long as I can get the .ecu file. That comes to the second question....Is there a good .ecu file to use. I really don't want to hav to have him pay for the cable and LT1 edit, but if that's what I've got to do it's what I gotta do.... Anything you guys have on this would be much appreciated....and I did the search thing but I didn't get anything usefull. Maybe that's me though.

Thanks
Chris

No, the 95's do not have the removable memcal. You either need LT1Edit or TunerCat with the appropriate cable to tune the 94 and up LT1's.

You will need tunercat and the $EE file.

AKM cable.

And I'd suggest a spare ecm, and making up a *programming station*. ie a battery, and being able to flash the pcm off a designated power supply. Any poor connection while programming turns the pcm into being a paperweight. At one point, and it still might be true today, that even a dealersip can't uncrash a power interuption malfunction.
