My buddy and I are looking into the new upcoming system thru EFI Live. We currently have data loggers and programming systems for our 98 and newer LS-1's, but now I need something for my 94 LT-1.

I have a Actron www.amazon.com if you have more than one car or want to turn off the service light it comes in handy.

I bought the Autoxray 6000, very similar to ones made by Actron and built by the same parent company, SPX. It worked fine on all OBDII vehicles tried so far but they sent 3 scan tools before I got one that would work on my 93 Vette. At least their customer service kept at it until the problem was resolved.
