Default ????tuning????

Just a quick newb question. Can all tuning of the pcm be done via the link under the dash or does the more advanced tables require ie throttle cracker, pe, etc etc require the actual computer being removed from the vehicle? thanks Chris

I'm a bit new to it too, I just started using HPTuners. You just hook your laptop to the ODBII connector and adjust just about everything.

It can all be done in the car, no need to remove the PCM. Haven't really need to pull the PCM since the third gen f-body era when you acutally had to pull the computer, remove the chip, flash it, and then stick it back in.
