Programmers?
I have a 95 LT1 and computer in my 91 coup. Can I use a hand-held programmer like a Hypertech III and will it be worth it? Serveral on sale on E-Bay for around $100. I had a shop tune my vet to pass my state's E-Check test and now my vet doesn't run as fast as it did before. A friend of mine told me he thought I had a Fastchip in my computer. Are these programable with a Hypertech? I don't have a laptop, which I guess would be the best way to go. Please send me any info you might have. Thanks. John

It is possible that you have a early LT1 ECM controller that were used in the 92/93 model years. These ECMs did have a removable prom and in that case you could have a custom chip in it by someone else.

So....you are saying I need a laptop to program the flash memory, right? Thanks for the info. Will not bother with Hypertech unit and get Tunercat software and borrow a laptop. Thanks. John
