You'll need some new software. (or old new software)

imo just get a mail order tune from pcmforless or ion... Im sure they can get the tune close. there is not really any good tuning solutions out there for obd2 lt1's. Your only other option would be to convert obd1, but then you still need to buy software on top of that. Option 1 being the cheapest route.

Mail tunes are so cheap and easy and for that level of modifications is going to be damn close too. Not worth the hassle of getting all that stuff yet IMO.

+1 once you get into more serious mods (ported heads, bigger cam, nitrous), worry about getting tuning software. A mail order will be more than sufficient for a simple hotcam/bolt on motor

Actually tuner cat does not work for obd2 lt1. Jet dst and lt1 edit are your options and both require a seperate scan/log software.
