Default This is soooo coool

Just a few mintues ago i offically entered the world of PCM "tuning". :D

With Tunercat, it was easier than i ever thought!! My 1995 was re flashed without a hitch and with ZERO problems.

Although i didn't do much right now (just skip shift elimination, cooling fans at a lower temperature, etc..) i feels pretty good. :cheers:

[yoda]Mmmm...the force is strong with this one[/yoda]

With a PCM, just make sure your battery is always fully charged before you flash. :thumbs:

Yes, I know Andy there. He has since stopped doing socketing of PCMs now. I purchased the last remaining stock of Intel Flash chips for the PCMs from on company that my dad knew about. I think there are a couple of others doing it as well. I usually have a couple PCMs on hand so it can even be on an exchange basis if one doesn't want to wait. I have access to GM calibrations if virgin files are necessary or if one just wants a virgin file for their cars.
