Thanks for the quick reply....... so I am running 1994 impala ss which is a 8192 baud application...correct? I don't need to worry about the 160 config...right? Regarding the 10K resistor going from A to B pin, that is for TPI w /MAF..... does that apply to me?

correct.

assuming you never need them, you won't need to impliment them. i didn't on my personal cable since the chance of me playing with anything that wasn't an 8192 setup and non 86-89 TPI at that were pretty slim.

awesome, thanks! one last question for today, while configuring my com ports in tunerPro I ran the "test for vaild interface using setting" test. The test failed with a "cable not found or functioning @ 8192 baud" error. Is that to be expected ? I had the FT232RL unit hooked up via USB to the computer, but no cables hooked up to the FT232rl unit.
