Anybody using Accel Gen. 6 ECM

I just bought an accel gen 6 ECM for my supercharged 85...do I have to use the calmap program to change ecm settings or can I use some of the free progams like tuner cat etc. ?

TunerCat is for the GM ECMs. You need to use Calmap to make adjustments to your Gen6.

Ya gotta have CalMap... You should've gotten the software with the unit you purchased. I've used DFI 6.0/6.32 for almost 10 years.

You can use the freeware, but you need the cable.

You can download Calmap off the Accel/DFI website. You will need to buy there harness for it though. I do not believe there is any way around it if you do not have one to copy.
