Prom Pros

Hello Everyone,

Just like to say...Everytime I visit these message boards I learn more.

I am planning on a engine swap in 91 z-28 conv. Concerned about the issues with shelf chips. So what it is I need to do the nitty gritty programming and scanning of my car.Would like to get a taste of things while it is still stock...get my hands wet...then be able to have some background with the new motor. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated..I like windows applications by the way hehehe


Thanks everyone

Get a scanner of some fashion, pocket programmer, and an editor and *Just do it*.
Trouble is with windows stuff is that makes for a much more expensive laptop. It's best to just use a cheapy for incar work. I'd rather lose a $50 laptop to a crook then a $500 one. I've heard of all kinds of expensive laptops being stolen out of cars, and never a cheap one.
So:
GMEPro for the laptop
Tunercat for the PC
