Software hey guys i need to tune my car and was told i needed a to buy my own sowftware. just wondering if i buy a software will it lock my VIN in there? or could i just borrow someone elses software? can someone please help me out here.
With HP tuners you are locked to the PCM, not the VIN of the car. You can use your friends software but you would need to buy credits for your PCM.
Someone with EFI live will have to described their system.

efilive locks to pcm id. no limitation on type or model of pcm, model year etc.
so you can obtain 5 licenses and tune 5 pcm/tcm pairs. licenses come in pairs. also includes all custom operating systems for free. simply licensed by pcm id.

does anyone in the MD/VA/DE/NJ/PA area have a tuner that i can use to tune my car? and how much does a "CREDIT" cost? sorry for being so dumb about this guys im used to carbed cars/trucks
Your talking about your 94 right? Niether HPTuners of EFILive will work with that. You need to aget a ALDL cable like this http://www.moates.net/product_info.p...roducts_id=127 and Tuner C.A.T.S. software to do the actual tuning. With TC you just buy the definition file for LT1's ($80 i think) and you can tune all OBD1 LT1's with it.
