what do i need to start tuning
so i got a lap top and now i need to buy some kind of cable and get a program to start tuning my car.
first thing i want to do is get rid of my speed limiter / fuel cutoff @115mph
then later i am going to have a gear swap done going from 2.73 to 3.73 and need the shift points to be changed
.
.
.
.
where do i need to start?

you will also need winflash to upload the new tune and read or adjust the old tune into the car.

okay some things have changed .... i want to now get a program that will allow me to see the many different readings that the ecm/pcm is reading
things like rpm, temps, pressuers, a/f ratio, ect,ect
i am going to have a tuner tune the car but i want to see what the car is doing .... i dont really trust the stock gauges any more

Pay-to-play with OBDII. I do not know of any free tuning software for OBDII. You can do an OBDI conversion, which isn't too hard. Do a search on it, I believe you'll find out info on here.

If anyone wants to tune OBD2 LT1 or LS1 I have a Jet DST I am probably going to sell. I am low on cash and need the extra help. With the DST all you would need is a laptop.
If you do any research on the DST its pretty much the only good tuner to use for OBD2
