    accessports....lol

    buy a tactrix cable and you can tune your car for free. EcuFlash and RomRaider are both free programs to download. you can find people's tunes (including the stage 1 and 2 maps) online all over the place. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE $700 ON AN ACCESSPORT THAT DOES NOT TUNE OR LOG.

    Are the programs you mentioned just like tuning software or is it just an interface?

    I'll definitely look into a tactrix cable, I've never heard of one but if it gives me more room with tuning than an accessport does then it's worth looking into.

    the tuning software is similar to things youve seen in the GM worls (hptuners) except it is straight up free. ECUFlash is mainly for subaru and mitsubishi, so we got lucky on that aspect.

    the cable to hook up to the OBDII port is really the only thing you need to buy. then it is all about researching and seat time. go on NASIOC and into the 'open source' tuning section. that will lead you to everything you need to know about getting started at least.
