My son claims it to be, not more complicated, but so many more perameters, that ECMLink is just an easier program, he says.

Here is the thing. I could find some to tune it, but because it was Ecmlink, they turned their nose up at it. Do that, and wont trust you. But I have a guy now.Even "The Shop Houston" wouldn't tune it? They flipping advertise they will. Weirdos. Small wonder they don't want to reply to me requesting dyno time.
I just use a guy I trust to remote tune mine (your old sh**). He is fairly well known. But I don't have some wild 1000+hp build either.
Like little greedy vultures waiting for me to kill over.I am.
We've been bustin' his balls over there for a while now hoping for a part out.
Well honestly Ive never messed much with Dsmlink other than to tune from the passenger seat while people drove, I havent used it on my own personal vehicles, I went from socketing ecu's and burning chips for them to flash based ecu to standalone, but I will say that like with anything there is a learing curve, the great thing is the level of support on the forums, its got to be at least as good at the Dsmlink forums and probably way better, the engineers and developers will get on there within 24 hours generally and give you an answer about just about anything you would want to know if someone else didnt answer you well enough in their eyes.I've read it's more difficult to use than ecmlink. Is that true? If you can tune on ecmlink can you jump into to Link or is it much more complicated?
So far yes. It has a GM w/ MAFT. heck if i know if it's setup correctly. Man the docs on the parts for that car are antique it seems. SMH.If you plan to stay with the maf there's no reason you can't run v2.
That's definitely the plan. just want to get her situated with V2 since its what I'm rolling with for the moment. Didnt Really have too many issues prior to the head removal; idle was jacked but I can almost bet it was the rings and incorrect crank venting. I couldnt deal with all the problems from the prior owner/s thus starting from scratch...Honestly upgrading to v3 and ditching the maft setup is going to alleviate a lot of headaches you may run into.
Yeah John Estrada is awesomeI have no experience with them but Jestrtuning is in FL and says the tune ECMLink.
Vin I know how you feel. My car is pretty much done and needs to be tuned also. And like you I rather have someone that is familiar with the ECMLink program to tune it. I don't have any social media stuff also so it makes it kinda hard. Kings told me if it was evo scan it would be no problem but I can bring the car and they can mess with it and figure it out (big no no for me). Real street said they only tune full standalone ecu vehicles. I didn't try the rest but you did and that was no better . I was going to try Tampa next. I tried messing around with the program a little and got a little out of it, but I'm no tuner. I'm good with the wrenching part but not the tuning part and I don't want to blow up my car before I even get to enjoy it.
