Default Is the C4 scan and tune section Gone?

was looking for the c4 scan and tune section, is it Gone? need to datalog and tune my 89, didnt want to get into chip burning, so i thought that the ostrich 2.0 was my answer but now realized that it doesnt datalog, so youll have to swap cables all the time, started reading about the EBL setup, seems interesting too, I know this topic has been beaten to death, but really looking for the best solution. I even think quick has a learning computer that will splice into our harness with no tuning at all,

any help

The C4 Scan and Tune section has been removed but you can still ask questions in the C4 Tech section.

Did the threads get migrated into a different sub forum? Seems counter productive to just delete years of accumulated knowledge.

Yes - to the Tech/Performance


If you've a pretty good idea of what you're looking for the "search" function works quite well. If you use the "SEARCH THIS FORUM" above "THREADS/POSTS" in the "C4 COMMUNITY HOME" you'll find any posts in any of the C4 sub-sections.

There ain't no "just browsing" for casual reads though.

Searches from here work pretty well

https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-1984-1996-19/

OR there's GOOGLE and just add "corvette forum scan and tune" to the search

I believe that at this point most of the interest in ECM PROM/PCM tuning had wandered away from the C4 section to other "tuning" forums. The specialty forums seem to still have substantial and maybe more recent improvements to hardware and software required.

I ain't defending the decision BUT things/interest does seem to matter. Advertising, sponsors and of course the required "watch-doging".

Add "site:corvetteforum.com" -- which I think is easier.
