    Equipment needed for tuning

    I'm soon to be working on a 1987 GMC Suburban... Am totally new to tuning. Was just wondering what hardware I'm going to need to be able to do this...

    Suggestions?

    Most of us here will probably point you toward an AutoProm from Moates.net, and TunerPro.net. However you could also get away with an Ostrich2.0, and a Burn1.

    With his 1227747 or 1228747 ECM he will also need a G2 adapter to use the newer chip. Or go the old route and find some ST 2732a chips, GQ-4x programmer and UV light eraser. Way better to use the G2 and newer SST27SF512 chip to click erase, click to write 1000's of times if need be.
