    VY 5.7 SV8
    Hello, I just bought a SV8 and now I want to have some fun with it

    What I really want to ask first off is can someone point me to some info on DIY ECU tuning, or some software etc for putting the fuelmap etc of a SS Commodore or better into my SV8. It runs very rich at WOT..

    I owned a Shitsubishi before this and have the OBD-II rig and software from that, just wondered if it was as easy as on the VR4's to edit and monitor my new Holden? :)

    Hey Simon.
    You can't use the same software mate. Not unless someone has one of those files that lets it read the GM ECU.
    I've looked into it breifly myself. And from what I can see, you'll need to pay for some software to do it.
    Let me know otherwise!
