Currently my winter project is at Blood Enterprises in Auburn getting Computer work done on it. So hopfully it will be done by this week & I can have it home by Christmas.
Oh winter project is a white 87 Iroc z with stock L98 V8 with a Holley stealth ram intake that we did last winter & ran it at the track but it didnt run right. So We called around to find a shop that can burn a new chip (after we had someone else do it) & now we find out that the muffler shop that did the headers (a year ago) didnt use the right gaskets so one of the gaskets blew, the new stat is stuck open & half my Electircal wires were burnt to my headers.
Oh well chit happens right?
My best run with this car stock was 14.66 at BR, tested times brand new was 14.87 which I can run almost all day unless the temp is hot.

Yes, as usual it's ALL your fault Ellis! If I hadn't run out of gas at 4:30 we could have put the water pump on & then the engine would be back together. But without the parts from Jantzer, it wasn't going to be complete.
His car also has a PCM port issue. No data. The HP Tuner won't connect, and neither will my Predator. I used that as my troubleshooting tool. It turned on, meaning there was 12V & Gnd at the port, but it displayed an error - said it had no data. Which mimmicks the HPT saying it couldn't connect. Anyone have a little O-scope I can connect to the data pin to see what's there? (or another idea how to probe this)

I've got a decent little multimeter you guys can use, and I'd be more than happy to give you a hand troubleshooting the problem, me being an electronics tech. 
Just let me know!
