Re: Florida thirdgens
Got it fired up yesterday. Had to supply fuel through the intake to keep it running. Vats are enabled and I'm swapping in the 4th gen plastic tank.

Re: Florida thirdgens
As the owner of 2 4th gens Trans Ams, you will enjoy the increased power over the 3rd gen engine. Sounds good.

Just bought this today, 3rd car i've ever owned and i'm in love so far! Would definitely love to swap out the v6 for a 305 down the road, but for now it'll do nicely the way it is

Re: Florida thirdgens
What's up guys.
I am looking for a tuner or someone who knows computers and tuner pro. I am in Palm Beach County. I have done a complete TPI intake change . The car runs great but I think it needs a little tuning. I have downloaded Tuner pro and loaded the specific ADL file and bought the proper Moates cable but I can't get tuner pro to connect to the car. I am just trying to datalog the car at this point, not actually burning a chip. Anyone know anyone in SoFlo area that still works with our OBD1 computers.
Here is a link to my build thread if you want to check out my work.

Re: Florida thirdgens
I believe you need the adx file for data logging. The other files are for tuning. I'm having some trouble also, I got the drivers for the cable, it says the cable is functional and working, and when I went to the dashboard, I couldn't see it and it wasn't working right. I reached out to moats technical support and they're like simple, don't use the dash doesn't work on everything. But they didn't give any tips on how to find or see anything either. I checked YouTube for videos, not much help either. I just wanted a log and see what's going on. Thank you all in advance.

Once I get my LS swap done and car back on the road(goal of December to have it done) I'd definitely be up for setting up some kind of meet/cruise with some folks.
That and I'd love to
Hopefully by then, the world will be back to normal as well.
