I need the VATS programmed out...

I have a 94 LT1 in an 87 Camaro, I have used 2 different VATS bypass modules and the car still doesnt work. I have a painless harness currently installed, and I just need someone to program the VATS out of the computer. Who can do this and how much does it usually cost? Thank you.

I can do it if you can send me the pcm .bin file i can do it for free. If you cant reflash your pcm then your best bet is Madz28 or pcm4less (either that or find someone local willing to do it)

I checked with PCMforless and they say they can do it for $175. From what I understand they will not only eliminate the VATS, they will program it to run better with my particular setup, and allow me to have it reprogrammed for $50 if I make any modifications to the car they would require a tuning. Is this worth $175?

if you have a laptop buy the cable and a mail tune from one of these guys and program it yourself.. this way you can do future tuning also

Another option is you can use our hand-held to get PCMFORLESS's tune, for the same price.

If you decide to buy the cable send me your bin file il'l tune out VATS for free. Il'l flip any flag you want for free or adjust constants (things like speed limiter, fan temps things like that) but I won't do a full tune free or cost goto pcm4less, madz28 or a dyno for a real tune.
