    Did you install the V8 software...?

    Did you install V8 build 203 from here:

    Yes. I did that and then tried to do the steps you said to do next. I am really clueless about the V2 hardware but V8 acts the same with my V1.2 hardware. Do I need to have them plugged into the car when doing this? I have read the tune using the V1.2 hardware and the latest V7.5 software but have not tried the V8 hardware as I haven't RTFM yet. With the V1.2 hardware anc V7.5, I know I have to plug into the car and validate pids, but I thought the V8 understood PIDs already.

    V8 only works with V2 hardware.

    So you have both V1 and V2 hardware...?

    After updating V2 firmware to 2.07.035 (by installing V8 and then letting it check the V2 firmware for updating), V2 has to be configured to know which pids and PCM's you will be logging/flashing...

    After you do this, V2 will know about the pids for the PCM (you specified both), and V7 will be able to do passthru mode.

    LOl! Yeah, you can't really sell V1.2 hardware. I also have AutoTap and LS1edit from way back when.

    Okay. Thanks. I will have to read up on V2/V8. I bought V8 long ago to put a 2002 OS in the spare PCM I bought (that was SUPPOSED to be a 2002) but continued to use the small V1.2 hardware for logging since it is small, convenient, and velcros to the dash where some controls used to be.

    This is not really a street car so tuning has turned into more of a bitch than I thought. In retrospect, I should have bought a single plane and big Holly instead of the sheet metal intake and 105mm TB. I am trying to get back up to speed after being knocked out of the game for a few years by circumstance.
