Vinci/ Crane Question I was under the impression that Vinci and Crane were pretty much the same tuner.
However, i have not been able to find a tuner for the 98s from crane??
Is there one available or just go with vinci????
The main reason i am trying to find a crane is that i work at oreilly autoparts and i can get a crane for about 360 campared to 460 for vinci.

Vinci use to be with Crane back in the day. They are two seperate entities now. As far as tunning 98 is the hardest dew to the fact the ECU different from the 99-04+ Why GM did that who knows. I wouldnt pay 460 for a handheld, Have a "professional" or well known tuner in your area hook up the HP Tuner or LS1 edit for 500 bucks and really go to town on your tune. My 2 cents.

We have always been separate entities. We have never been employees or owned by Crane. We have just worked very closely together since the early 60's even before Vinci Hi-Performance was formed and we do a large amount of r&d for them. They sponsored all of Roger's race cars and built camshafts and valvetrain for them. When Vinci Hi-Performance opened in 1968, the relationship continued from there.
We did the tuning portion of the tuners for Crane. The tuners for 99-04 are basically the same. However, Crane does not have a tuner for 98s. That is only available through VHP. I hope I answered your question. Joe.

Hi Mr. Vinci I have an important question for you....
I have a '97 C5 and I need to reprogram the ECU for an hot cam, fast intake, jet headers and LS2 heads... is the Vinci handheld right for the job or I should expect problems to enter in the ECU end do the tuning? Is it true that for 97-98 the handheld needs your support to undergo the task?? Thank you.
