You can do all that with HPT's stock scanner from the first version... Nothing ground breaking there...

I have rear thru this post and am confused one one majir point. I live in New Jersey so I must go thru smog inspections. The inspector plugs into the OBD2 plug so the computer VIN must match the vehicle VIN.

My question is which program will allow me to get thru inspection?

Thanks
Craig

You can change the VIN# with EFILive.
The scan only version can do it if you want to be cheap.

I have a 98 and still... personaly choose EFI Live. . .

My first experience with Live was a 2 Bar COS and had no problems learning my way around
the software.

Now If I planned on tuning outside of GM (someday maybe... not anytime soon) I will also purchase HP Tuners. Can never have too many programs!! =]

I recommend EFI Live. COS do not cost more "credits". You pay the $100 for the vehicle license and can do whatever you please to that pcm.

Also. What the company did for me on a new v2 when my v1 was stolen, I can ALMOST FOR SURE say no other company out there would do.
