I use Tuner Cat for the 1996-1997 LT1's. But new customers have to buy the program from Jet.

what scanning software do you use with it? I know hptuners only scans generic parameters from LT1's which Is why I stopped tuning them...it was either invest in another scanner & be swapping back and forth between 3 cables more then likely or just stop tuning them, I chose option 2 lol.

Not sure about Russ, but I use Datamaster. And yes, it is quite annoying to swap between tuning cable and the scanning cable.

I use the Hp Tuner scanner & cable with custom histograms to scan the LT1's and 1998 -2000 Vortec trucks. But like you said there are only generic parameters for these vehicles. But the AFR will display in the VE histogram. I only do SD tunes on there vehicles since there is no pid for maf freq.

yeah no knock retard, no commanded afr, etc...and considering their commanded afr is a little "odd" to figure out it makes it that much tougher lol.

thanks guys

You got that right! I'd much rather tune with Hp Tuner's. Monodax has a scanner available (Mxscan) that has an interface to hook up a wideband, but it is not compatible with the 1996-1997 Vortec trucks. They have been working on this for more than a year.
