DataMaster is only for OBD-I. For OBD-II, I like AutoTap with GM enhanced parameters. But some people feel the price is too high.

For options convert to odb1, then there will be free data logging programs (freescan or 20 trials of data master), and tuning software will be substantially cheaper (tunercat). Most of the time thats what everyone ends up doing, it can be done plug and play if you're handy, but you'll need a cable that fits a 95 camaro. The cable looks like obd2 (trapezoid) but it isn't.

What are you using for tuning software now?

If you want to stay OBDII and get Autotap, find a used one. I found a used USB version with GM & Ford Enhanced parameters for a decent price. New it is around $300, which is a bit pricy.
