blue tooth scanners
To the tech out there, i am thinking of getting a obd11 scanner so as to keep up with my engines vitals, i would like to get some opinions on blue tooth scanner s in particular , there are a lot of different ones some in the 100 doller range such as blue driver and the 22 doller bafx range and some in between, live data is important as i want to keep my ride in the best tune, has anybody had experience with these good or bad. i have a 96 c4 auto.. thanks

there are so many Bluetooth Adapters. that are compatible with most phones. I use the original Kiwi OBD2 / Bluetooth adapter. mated-UP with Torque. This combo works very nice. you are only Monitoring. I'm not sure. how your keeping your car. in BEST tune.

Sorry my bad for not being more clear, mainly interested in fuel trim and o2 sensors, just have not got around to fine tunning my 383, although i must say after about 3k miles it is starting to run better. after a long drive it idles better, also since i changed to earlier fan turn and switch to 160 t stat it runs very cool around 205 in hot weather and stop and go traffic but when it gets to the upper temps it runs better,, isnt this engine designed to run on the hotter side?

The LT1 / LT4 reverse flow cooling. cools the heads first. then flows down to the block. this design is a nice feature. as for the PCM fan constants & MPH programmed to turn the fans on around 210 degrees. Is more emissions related. installing a 160 stat is absolutely UNnecessary. especially if you can tune. I run a 180 stat. Increased my fans RPM's and changed the MPH table's my cooling is locked in at 184 - 188 on a 94+ muggy day. my Oil temp is right on target about 230 Degrees. Engines run at any reasonable temp. Performance wise! 210 - 215 is not optimal. IMO.
