just getting started.. (NOOB)

Post by akeemo »

Sorry for the NOOB questions. But i gotta ask...

Hardware/Software
LT1 - 96 Caprice Computer..
Tuner Pro v5
My questions are very top level at the moment. As i become more understanding of the concepts I know, Ill get to the more intelligent questions. I do have a solid computer background and decent understanding of whats going on underhood. Please bare with me.
From all of my research and the way i understand it, people are flashing there OBD2 computers to use an OBD1 bin. Is this correct? Because its easier to work with?
:arrow: If this is so.. i want to flash the above mentioned computer with a 95 Z28 LT1 bin.
:arrow: then fire the car up (assuming I get this far) and start taking some log information.
:arrow: After reviewing this information, begin to make the changes necessary to "clean" things up. AFR's etc.

Am I on the right track so far??
Few questions from here.

:arrow: In the .xdf file, when i go to the flags section and open VATS for example. If i uncheck the "Set" box and save, Does this mean I have dissabled the Vehicle Anti theft? Is it this simple?
:arrow: Would the same go for A/C accessories and anything else my 67 Camaro doesnt have?

Finally, What cables do i need to make this happen? I realize the USB or Serial cable and OBD cable but the box in between to actually flash and write to the PCM...
will this one do? http://www.obd2allinone.com/
Im not partial to any companies or products any advice would be great..

I hope i dont look like to much of a fool..but im trying to learn and get my car on the road before the snow comes...
I'm sure Ill have more questions after i get to a certain point.

Thanks for all of your time...
