i had to do the same thing.
Well, all but one
FYI, I have a RR here that was used in development, it's considered the 'loaner'. This thing would have lots of frequent flyer miles, it's never here. Everyone I loaned it to has bought one....you can't go back to old traditional tuning methods after you used it.

I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
If I ever get an LS1/LB7-based car/truck I will order a RR before I pick it up, everything Ive heard says its so much easier to tune with.
And I think I have an idea about "the one" that it doesnt work with, but their loss IMO.

Should be here by Friday afternoon....i will post my feedback after i have give her a few runs. Any first timer advice, hints, or suggestions.....please send them my way. How long is the cable they come with....long enough to run back into the console in the cab? Can i use a USB extension if i need too?

The cable that came with my kit was long enough, found there was an extension cable in there to that I did not need.
Blue-tooth sounds like fun for a wireless option.
Steady, Steady now, when you drive around in emulation mode, with it all up and running, there is power at your finger tips. You also have the means to cause yourself harm. Be careful and have fun.
Practice setting up the Roadrunner at idle in the driveway for a while.
Research the tuning methods (RTACS), more practice and understanding setting up the software. Learn how to drive them new toys.
When you are comfortable, turn on the emulation mode and hit the streets or dyne.
Once again, Have fun, be safe...
Rev it up, Drop the clutch, See what happens?

Not completely green to tuning...so I should be fine, but sound advice non the less. WHich leads me to another question......
Are there any decent RR tutorials on how to get set up, how to set up RTACS, how to operate in emulation mode, etc?

I have used Craig's Ostrich OBD1 Emulator for some time now and find it to be just as good on the early Holden's as the Roadrunner is on the later LSx.
O, I earn for the day EFILive incorporates OBD1 into V2 and maybe you could include support for Craig's new Ostrich that has a few more toys.
Only then will my entire existence be complete.....

Keep your eyes on the road
Keep both hands on the wheel
Wear a condom
Best advice, as already stated, get familiar with the RR in your driveway at idle first. Also, keep a known good back up tune handy just in case...
I was using RTACS once with out a DFCO filter in place and ruined my idle. Flashed my back up tune and 2 seconds later I was idling again.
Are there any actual tutorials of the steps to go through to set up RTACS? I am kind of sitting there looking at all the controls not knowing how to get it set up to start making changes. I simple RTACS VE tutorial would be a nice warm up. I enable the "real time changes" icon on the RR menu. Then select the "fine control/course control" button and let it do its thing. Is that all there is to it?
