Re: which self tuning route to go???

I am new to this, but, I would suggest you get a cable from akmcables.com, LT1 edit and datamaster logging SW. That said, adding a supercharger is very tricky. You really should go to someone with a dyno that has experience. My understanding is that it is very easy to blow the engine with a supercharger while tuning it. I heard a story recently where a pro tuner blew a couple of LT1 engines within a month, so it is not easy to tune.

Datamaster is OBD-I only. Something like Autotap or other software will be needed for monitoring/logging. LT1_edit is quite expensive for OBD-II.

does autotap allow you to adjust these parameters or just monitor them?
