Can someone tell me where I can get a decent priced prom eraser and reader/burner and what price I should expect to pay for those? What is the best software to use? Thanks

  Start by reading Programming 101 on the diy-efi web site, http://www.diy-efi.org/gmecm/papers/ then try and search thru the archives, ftp://ftp.diy-efi.org/incoming/gmecm.gz.

  Yu're on the right track, learn on something *stock* like your truck and go from there. The "decoder" you need is a eprom reader/burner to let you read and burn images on a eprom. You can find some bins right on the GMECM website, http://www.diy-efi.org/gmecm/ecm_info/ they are indexed by ECM. For TBI, you're best off with the 1227747, since it's so well hacked and understood. 

  There's no reason you can't put TBI on a Poncho. I put port injection on a Olds motor.... A stock GM TBI setup is far superior to the Holly Pro-crap. 

  BTW, turn off the HTML fomatting in your email program. Makes it easier for a lot of list members to read your messages.

    sorry to ask you those questions, but I'm just a bit curious. First of all, I want to tell you that I'm just joined the grouplist, so I'm real new to the subject. When I see those recordings, are they done with a real scanner or some other tools? If they are fabricated from scratch, is there a place I could get info about how I could construct one of these. I'm just getting into TBI injection, I usually tune holley carbs but FI really is interesting. I do know FI pretty well, but I'm really trying to get more into programming proms. How can you get the image from the prom if it's not on diy site, like is there somekind of decoder? The tbi I'm currently installing in will be going in a pickup, but I was wondering if I could adapt a system on my own car, it's a firebird with a pontiac 400 engine that's running mid 11's on engine and high 10's on with spray, would there be something I could use on that. Like I know that holley has the pro jection system, but they seem like mostly tweaked tbi but for a lot of money. Thanks for all the info. P.S.: where could I find some good info and maybe image I could play with in order to learn a bit about the system. Math B fireb76 at videotron.ca
