i have never done this. burning chips is something i have always paid smeome else to do. need all the help i can get.

Do lots of reading. There's a reason it costs money - it takes significant time and effort to learn how to tune. You might read the thread in my sig, go through the wiki a few times, and going through the newbie forum and reading anything with a relatively high number of views and/or posts would help. Have fun and good luck.

Just a Note: I Use Crome Pro. Some of the links below have information that is brand specific, But most of the information can be used for general PGMFI knowledge.

Hope this Helps

You need a ROM Burner and a ROM Emulator. The Burner is ~$100 and the Emulator is ~$200. Or, you could try building this:

... heh. Looks quite scary, but it does its deed via a serial port, so the ECU can be closed. If I had a spare 'tuning' ECU, this is the mod for me.
