Best tuner platform????

I was referring to Bench Force. I didn't know what it was called at the time. I would like to be able to tinker with the software and ECM while indoors. S. Texas weather is just too harsh lol. But, looking at the price, it might be better just to suck up the heat... lmao. On the Tuner Cat Obd cord, I need the obd2 adapter, and not the obd1?

No one said you were giving up on OBD1.
Don't forget the OBD1 knock sensors, unless you're going to modify the OBD1 pcm to receive OBD2 knock sensor signals.

'bench programming kit'? Do you mean FlashHack, TunerProRT with $EE definition file, and $EEhack? Or TunerCAT OBD1 LT1?
Either way, yes.

You are tuning your pcm or pcms in your car or cars, yes?
If you are not remotely tuning other people's pcms, read from and write to your pcms from inside the car.
Edit the file to your heart's content indoors, or anywhere you and your laptop can go. You only need to read and write on site.

To write to the OBD2 pcm requires the OBD2 adapter.
To write to the OBD1 pcm requires the OBD2 connector with OBD1 wiring.
