If you picked it up used, and it's not a full unlimited-use tuner's version, it won't work on your car. Individual copies are licensed to only one VIN. You can find out by plugging it in and just trying to read your PCM. If it's been used previously on another car, you'll get a message that it doesn't recognize the VIN. I think you can add a second VIN license to the software for about $250, though. A full copy new is about $450 - At least that's what it was a couple of years ago.
If you just bought a new copy, then as EG said, it's a pretty steep learning curve. And it's not at all intuitive - Kinda like the difference between the old DOS vs. Windows in the PC world.
Good luck!

What Tuning program are you going to use on your "stock" modified engine?? BTW, I have really enjoyed the step by step progress on your build. I wonder if someone could get it in print in a magazine?
