Default Access port with a dyno tune?

So my 1999 Trans Am already has a dyno tune but I've been woundering if I could put some kind of access port on it just so I can monitor the car. Didn't know if you could use one of those when your cars already dyno tuned. Please let me know and if you can please tell me some good access ports for a ls1

The port is called a diagnostic port or OBD2 port and if you look under your driver side dash you will see it. You can buy interfaces to monitor it. What are you wanting to monitor? If its your air/fuel ratio you will need a wideband kit.

Just wanting to montiter a everything on the car. Oil pressure, Trans temp, RPM's, coolant temp. All that stuff my buddy has a cobb for his car and it's pretty cool the things it can do. I just didn't know if I could use something like that when my cars already dyno tuned I didn't want it to mess with tune that's on the car. Hopefully this helps

Ultra-Gauge is pretty cool. The HP numbers don't seem very accurate though.

No problem, it just monitors things such as HP, boost, throttle position mph, etc.
