Why would you think OBD2 was an upgrade????
You need a cable like from akmcables.com and software from tunercat.com along with a whole lot of knowledge and time, be warned you can easily blow up the motor and an automatic tranny if you screw things up. Custom professional work is suprizingly cheap might start there.

The guy that tuned mine hooked a cable from his USB port in the computer, to a little connection under the steering wheel. Cable didn't look like it would be that expensive. He used LT1 Edit.
i know it isnt an upgrade you have to replace your pcm.
i also know how to use the programs. i just didnt know if i had to use something different on this car.
my friend owns a snap on problem code reader can i use that to tune?
I didnt really look at it when i used it last.

And definitely keep your current pcm if you want the cheapest option. obd2 stuff is way more expensive.

Find a performance shop around your location that does dyno tuning and pay the 350 dollars to get the car tuned correctly.... There is A LOT that is involved with tuning a car... but hey, its your money, and your car..
