I guess call volume depends on your client base. I get very few inquires about Gen I / Gen II based (Vortec or LT1) controllers. My experience is that more and more people appear interested in an A6 (6L80/90) with the ability to Tap Shift - for their Hot Rod projects.Quote:

Thanks! I'll look into the tuner cat stuff. I literary just came across it when I saw the notification..
To buy Tunercats for OBD-II you also need to buy a Roadrunner. It will add to more than 1 grand just to start tuning. The roadrunner alone is 600 bucks.
If you only need to tune this car, buy Jet DST. It's the exact same software as Tunercats but much cheaper.
Jet's support is non existant and you can only tune 4 cars with the cable.
Tunercats is better and you can tune a unlimited number of cars once you buy the license.
Both of them lack a scanner, so you need to purchase another software to scan the vehicles you tune with it. HPtuners can scan 96-97 LT1 but only basic SAE parameters.
good times..Quote:

Buddy/fellow tuner friend of mine said to be prepared to wait up to 20minutes for flash, lol, is that true?
Not true. It takes the same time as HPT write entire, like 5 min.
However, JET flash doesn't have a "calibration Only" Flash like HPT so every time you want to make any change you need to flash the entire file to the PCM.
for the 96 impala I swap the pcm to OBDI and get an tach signal converter. Ends up costing less than a hundred bucks and I tune with tunercats.
