>Whats shaken?
>    My names Chris, and I came across this mailing list while looking 
>for ways to tune my car. I own a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix, with a V6 
>3100. I'm currently at a community college getting a Computer Systems 
>and Networking degree, took me awhile to finally decide on computer 
>science for when I transfer out of this town, and somewhere here in New 
>York State.
>     I've been looking and have found alot of sites, but I'm still 
>reading more. What I'd like to do, but I'm not sure if I can, is 
>interface my laptop with the car, and tune it from there. I'd also like 
>to learn what I would need to reprogram the cars ECM to handle a HM-282 
>trans axle and possibly a turbo later on down the line. Though I'll need 
>to know what language they use to program these bad boys, and what 
>equipment I need to read and write to them. So far all the sites I find 
>are for LS1's and all the sports cars of GM. Sometimes I wonder if it'd 
>be easier to goto OBD-II, but i know that would be a pain in the ass, 
>and would probably be easier to do an l67 swap into the car, but I want 
>to stick to my v6 3100 and be the underdog that believes this engine can 
>not only be a reliable daily drive, but a powerhouse on the track.
>I was hoping that if I spoke to human beings someone could set me 
>straight and help me out in understanding all of this, I'm pretty die 
>hard in learning to do it yourself. I hope I can contribute anything I 
>know to this mailing list also. Thanks alot for takin the time to read 
>this and i'm hopin for some replies.
