    Hello,

    ??? are you talking about what options you should get with hptuners? A vcm is a term I think hptuners uses to describe what they tune ie pcm's but gm changed the name to vcm...so unless your strait up buying a pcm your using the wrong wording i believe.

    there really arent anything out of the norm available for your monte...if you want to get the enhance unit with the inputs/outputs for things like w/b a/f sensors, egt sensors, shift lights etc go with that...i dont really see a need for extra pigtails unless you loose one...1 & 2 bar isnt available to you so your pretty basic when it comes to options.

    Thanks,
    I was wondering about the pigtails. How many would I need if I hooked up as much as I could? For the sensors and all?

    Most people only need one, for wideband use. If you are going to use other inputs or outputs, that share a pinout from the EIO connector, then you would need extras. I would say to purchase one and if you need more than you can purchase them at a later date. Or just build your own connector to the EIO, like I did.
