please feel free to correct anything on here,
id like to get a master list going so the more help the better.

im sure there are others out there that i didnt put on the list.
add anything you want and ill update the list.

 

Go with the vendors on the site, either pcmforless (just their basic tune for my bolton car was badass) or madztune i think is the other one. There prooven and cheaper.

 

You might want to edit with information about software for 1993 ECMs vs ODBI 94-95 ECMs and the ODBII 96-97 ECMs. They each use different tuning software.

IE, you can use TunerPro and TunerPro RT along with cables from moates.net to tune the 93 ECMs.

Tunercat is now ODBI only - the Tunercat ODBII software is now distributed by Jet under the name "Dynamic Spectrum Tuner".

LT1 edit comes in different flavors and prices for the ODBI vs ODBII versions.

 

snake - i added in pcmforless, but i wasnt able to find any info when i googles madztune.
if you have some info , post it up and ill add it.

kyle- i was trying to keep this semi short and sweet.
id prefer to not have to add in pricing/options for each different model.
if you want to write up ill edit it in though.

i am mainly trying to make a one stop list for people to use for their research.
