| Need help in RI I have a 95 z28 with 4.10 gears. I currently cant go over 75mph due to the speedlimiter kicking in. Anybody from RI southern MA or Eastern CT have a program that can correct this for me? I plan on going to Slowhawk racing for my tune with in the next 2-3 weeks. I was hoping to go sooner but im going a bit more extreme on my tranny build than i orginally planned, so i have to wait a few more weeks for some more funds. I would like to be able to have a bit of fun with my car before then so im looking for anybody semi local who can help me out. Thanks in advance |

| Call PCMforless.com they can email you a file, you just need the cable, id drag your pc to the car and just load it from there. If you were closer my TUNER CATS should work on 94/95. But its been awhile lol.

| As I said before,be carefull. You bought a used car with a supercharger and a bunch of work done to it but the owner never cared to change the gear ratio in the computer? Who knows what else he skimped on and your probly at high risk to blow the motor.Atleast roll that thing on a dyno before you swallow a shit ton of $$ from more problems.

With that being said the car will stay the way it is until you can work your magic with it. I really would like to change the gears while the car is allready at the shop(getting the tranny rebuilt). If i find out my rear end is not a 4 seriers I can go with a higher gear rather than the 3.73... Whats my best option?? |

I should have asked. Like said if the car had basic mods and it was a gear ratio issue, then try pCMforless. But You do have a sponer semi local who can work on the car. I think for peice of mind, take it to hawk and make sure it's running safe.

All CATS software has a trial timeframe which if you delete it and reinstall, it starts the window.
At least for 94/95, after 96/97 its ODB2 and its a different software, 93 is where you burn chips.

For the 2-3 customers a year it's not worth the investment to buy an unlimited version at this time.
I've tuned many LT1's from stock to 600rwhp blower cars. Would be nice if EFI live would support the LT1's though.
