Best .ecu for 89 355 T/A
Hello. I've got an 89 T/A that will have a mild 89 GTA rebuild 355 in about a month(currently a 305/5speed/4.10 gears/K&N/gutted MAF/headers/3" exhaust/hiflow cat). I just order the pocket programmer and emulator. I have been playing with Winbin(read the Prom burning Intro and many posts to this board). My question is: Which .ecu would be the best to start with for my particular project? I have been using the 89v4 and the apyp*89vette ecu's, along with the 89Z305* and 89305tpi* bins. Are these good starting points? I also plan to back up my stock chip. Should I just stick with this?
thanx

Personally I like the GMEPro and tunercat.

I've made a public appeal to Xtronics to test their emulator and will pay for it if it works, but they haven't spoken up.
Xtronics, if you're here, I'll buy one to use with my pocket programmer if you can guarantee a 100% refund if it doesn't work with my ECMs.

Yeah, I'd seen some of the posts on the board about the emulator, but I have a friend who is a C/Cobol/Assembly programmer and he really wanted to try it, so I guess I'm the guinea pig. I will be starting out very slow, though. Still using this car for transportation.
