hookup regular pc to pcm?
I was wondering if you could hookup your pc via a serial connection or something to a camaros pcm and if there is such equipment and software? Thanks

You can do it! Providing the PC is powerful enough to meet the basic requirements of the software you wish to use.

You'll also need a cable from AKMCables.com.

$2500? Do you have an OBDII car? (96-97)
Also, what are you trying to do? Just scan it, or do you want to program it too?

There is no other programming software than ls1_edit available as of this moment for your car. The single license version is $550 I beleive.
