The program I have is saved on a disc. The last time I saved it I must not have save the fuel cut and EGR. I still hit about 135 MPH on the hoist.
first is the donor car
Next is the donor PCM
Next is the stand alone programmer
Next is it all hooked together
Next is The IM Flags
Next is NO DTC's set in the CAR!
Next is a picture of a 135 MPH cut, but the camera locked and I had to remove the battery to get it to shut down

I have to replace the pistons in that car and I will start in the morning and should have it done about 5 or 6. If I have a chance I will Take another program in and use it. I have it here at home and will check it over. I really do not want to run a new set of pistons up to 150 MPH on the first start. I may wait until Friday. |

Why would someone screw up a '65 (?) 'Vette with a high winding engine with no torque????????? (OK... I read the post again - sorry........BTW, I had a '67 427/435 new, and like a dam*ed fool, sold it in '68) Dumb, or what?

Yes my fast car is not a Cadillac. I was told you can not do that too many times by guys on the Fiero forum. I am not a HUGE Fiero fan, but they have grown on me. 10 months ago I would considered them junk. I had a coupe of Northstars hanging around and needed a FWD 4spd manual trans. I came across the Fiero and decided to do up a Northstar. Yes it is fast. I did it as a wedding fund and I have no intention of keeping it. I have only done top quality work on it. That is why I have Hacked into PCM's. I have not mislead anyone, but I did not answer some questions. I think That Caddy's are much better cars and the Fiero needs to have a 3.8L SC in it. I may do a RWD 2 seater Northstar or even a 4.4L SC car. I think may be a SKY. I can make this happen. |

If you are getting shot at 130 MPH and you can't get away then 130 MPH is not fast enough.
You have seen the video of the RWD STS out running the cop in NY.
I have a german based program, but it is RHD and Euro brake. I can't get it to run.
I can take the Fast delivery STS limo Calibration and rework it for you. I will need to reset the tire size. That car should be an 8 lug.
I have a completed Limo based VIN Y for a guy with a 03 DHS and it does not stop at 130 MPH.
How much more torque do you think a LIMO needs?
How about an armored car?
Caddy's are shipped all over the world and the programs are all different., but I can compare the programs and work with them.
Now do you see why Westers wants all the VINs.  |

<---Also a Caddy tech | That PCM is on the bench and the I/M flags are passed. I will show you the stock calibration tomarrow. That PCM does not need a cat, AIR system, Post O2s, O2 heaters,and an EGR. Yes the EGR was flagged in that picture. |

Dark shop bright dash = bad picture.
If I use a flash then I would just get a light burst.
I will try it again in the day light |
