tunercats no longer available....
with tuner cats no longer available which tuning software would you suggest? i have a 97 lt1 with OBD2.
i have a computer, i can get the wideband sensors....i just need the dang'd software. i wanted tuner cats but....they sold out to jet performance chips.
i'd like to be able to use this software on multiple vehicles so lt1 edit is out. i dont know of any others out there that can do what i want.
so....what do i want?

Re: tunercats no longer available....
i thought about it but i'd really rather not have to do that. if i have to i will though. if i have no other options on my obd2 computer i'll have to use my software to convert it over....if possible....i really dont want to spend 200 on a new ecm and then buy software to enhance it.

Its sort of funny.... everyone complained about carputing charging $450 for the single license OBD-II version, and $100 for each additional VIN. Along comes JET and ups the TunerCat ante to $500 + $150 per VIN.

Re: tunercats no longer available....
i really....REALLY dont want to pay that much for a tuning program..but if it's more beneficial for me to convert over to the obd1 and buy tuner cats i guess i'll have to do that.
will i need the obd1 cable or the obd2 cable if i switch over to the obd1 in a 97 car?

Re: tunercats no longer available....
i'd pay 200...that's what it's going to cost me to convert to obd1 and then i'll still have to buy programs...
i have this damn laptop and cables and now i have no program to tune with...my injectors will be here within the week and i need to tune for them
could i convert over to obd1 myself or could i just install a 94-5 ecm in my car after i tune it??? what problems would i be running into if i start from scratch in my 97 with a 94's ECM and then tune to my likings?

Re: tunercats no longer available....
I admire Tunercat for writing this software and just assumed since their OBD1 version didn't have that restriction neither did their OBD2 version.
The whole additional vin = additional $$$ is just wrong, I don't admire them that much. Not EVERYBODY is going to make a business out this. I was going to get the Tunercat OBD2 but my car was down just about the whole time they FINALLY had it on the market. Before this I already paid the money to convert to OBD1 and bought Tunercat for it and I have never tried to make a dime off it.
I just dont like buying stuff with restricted use like that. It ranks right up there with hypercrap.
When you buy a wrench does anybody tell you that you can only use it on YOUR car?

Re: tunercats no longer available....
Wow, I had no idea. I bought OBD2 TC directly from TC as soon as it became available for my LT1. According to the Monodax page us existing users will still have support directly from TC.
