Download tuner then buy the deffinition $EE. Does Tag know how to use Tunercat and is he confertable with it? Also is his tuning price the same if you have your own software? I want him to tune my car this week but I'm still a little in the air.

Yup. just download it and get it registered. I reccomend the AKM cable http://www.akmcables.com/ The service and product is top notch. When you talk to him let me know. If you want a tune we can use my laptop and TC until your cable comes in.

My motor will be droped to where it was in about 3 days (fingures crossed), and ill go to the dyno after the break in.

I have the cable and a seperate mini laptop with Tunercat, Datamaster, and Freescan on it. Anytime you want it just let me know and there is no way I would let you pay me dude. We gotta stick together in the dessert. What all did you do to the motor? Ill have to schedule something with him this week. Cant wait to see what it makes on the dyno.

thanks man I really appreciate it.

I didn't do much to the motor, what happened is My head gasket took a dumb, so instead of simply replacing it, i pulled out the motor, and over hauled it, and installed High volume oil pump; and lucky me I found Brand new stock heads in the garage, so they got match ported and installed, with new springs, 1.6RR rockers and retainers, installed hot cam, Hooker LT's, Magna Flow, 58mm BBK TB, and got my tranny re-built and installed TG SK, TCI stall converter.

replaced Fuel lines, cooling lines, all sensors..etc.

Hope it wont let me down.
