HPTuners, EFIlive, Tunercat. They all have 98 coverage. I use them all. They all work well. HPT and EFIlive def work a little better. They have integrated scanners. Tunercat is now JET.

Just swap in a 99+ controller, it is just a couple hour job. note, if you have TCS, it WILL NOT WORK :MAD: I wish I knew that before I did the swap.

I currently use both EFI Live and the roadrunner, or SCT and an XCal2 depending on the module in the vehicle at the time.

P.S. If anybody wants a 1998 roadrunner to tune your 98 in style, PM me, I have one for sale.
