How much does datamaster cost? Someone mention it would be good if the wideband could communicate with the data logger, does datamaster do this?

I've got freescan, and I haven't figured out how to even make that work yet.

Yep I've got one of AKM's usb cables, its nice.

Default Deleting MAF?
Can you run off of just the TPS with any of the OBD1 programmers?

I still haven't got the last car I put a large cam on running properly with the MAF (94 VR6) bucks at low rpm part throttle.

I have BOTH and IMO Tunercat is better by far. Tunercat posts updates for their so???are ALL THE TIME, so you will always be getting new stuff to tweak in your ECM with the Tunercat so???are. I have NEVER seen an update for LT1 Edit so???are. Also Tunercat is NOT VIN Locked which means once you learn how to tune YOUR CAR you can start charging all your buddies for tuning their cars

You don't want the RT tuner that is for 93s. You just want the regular Tuner program.

There's RT Tuner and Tuner on their website. RT Tuner is for 93s (they have a different ecm) Tuner is for 94-95.

Yeah you can't use RT Tuner, LT1 ECM's are FLASH based ECM's and they won't work with a ROMulator which is what else you would need if you were going to use RT Tuner.

I have a question about the pricing on tunercat. As far as software goes, do I need the "Tuner" for $69.95 and add the 94-95 LT1 Definition file for $19.95?

Jet bought the Tunercat for OBDII cars, which includes the 97. It is also PCM locked, IIRC.

WOW WTF? I didn't even realize that it did that. I guess the issue has been cleared up in another thread where the admin has blocked the use of the term F.T.W. yet at the same time it will cause all other words that use those three letters to be replaced with ???

but yeah what I was saying was S.O.F.T.W.A.R.E. without the ??? this time
