    Using 1.7 and 2.0 for cylinder balance test

    I'm currently running V2.0 and was wondering if there would be an issue if I installed 1.7 as well. I noticed that it was recommended to uninstall 1.7 before installing 2.0, nothing was said about going the other way.

    The reason I want to do this is for the cylinder balance test. I installed GTP injectors in my Grand Am and would like to verify the efficiency of each cylinder.

    I know I could uninstall 2.0 and install 1.7, but I would like to run both if I could unless this feature is implemented shortly.

    Last question, I never used the balance test before. Does it work for the Grand Am's? (3.4L; 3400; LA1, whatever you wanna call it)

    Thanks in advance!!

    It is recommended that you uninstall 2.0 first.

    You will not lose any config files you have created by 2.0. I believe your preferences will remain intact as well.

    strait from the help file "The following features are not complete and/or do not function in 2.x software yet. VCM Scanner: VCM Controls Special Functions, EIO Outputs. VCM Editor: Force BCM/VATS Relink"

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...
