sounds Great Steve,2 heads are better than one, unfortunatly i dont have my 
engines ucu file.. or a programmer to obtain it..To make the changes i want 
i will have to hack the actual machine code..it may all be in the eprom or 
iac driver? im not sure..According to Terry K it will be difficult...Tuner 
cats wouldnt work on it either. GM says my 165 has been upgraded to a 
16198445.. perhaps this one has all the iac bugs fixed 8-)..If that be the 
case then alls i gotta do is hack the egr..what i need now is a 
programmer/erasor. but ill have to find one quik, Its hot, surfs flat and im 
headin to north Ga. in one week! - Dan
