Default EPROM programming

What do I need to be able to tune my car/ reprogram the EPROM, besides a computer and software?

I have a 1991 coupe with auto. The mods are Hooker headers, AFPR, K&N filter.

Thanks in advance :eek:

Take a look at www.tunercat.com. Their FAQ is pretty good, and describes everything you need to have to program your EPROM. The basics are: some blank eproms, an eprom eraser, an eprom programmer, software, and a configuration file for your car. It runs around $400 for everything.

"Can someone recommend the software of choice?TunerCat ??"

Unless you are comfortable programming in Motorola hexidecimal, TunerCat is the way to go.
