DHP might do it, I know it does 1996s... -
i just sent DHP an email and hopefully they will have something...i have a feeling though if they do they will charge a fortune for it.95 black 3.8 camaro, Intake, Pacesetters, Flowmaster 80 series, accel plugs and wires, B&M shift kit (eh could be better), hopefully a highflow cat soon. and a bunch of appearance mods.Comment

DHP Powrtuner is cheaper than HP Tuners, however I don't believe you're supported directly. You may be able to swap in a later year PCM, though.Originally posted by that90spunk:

All 3.8s have OBD-II, including 95s. ;)Originally posted by that90spunk:

No they don't, and that's a good thing because they suck.Matt

Does anyone on here have experience with DHP? I'd like to see what gains (if any) have been made. Any links to anything, etc. would help. Also, what is their direct site?2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

See my sig. I've been using the PowrTuner for months and I love it. It may not be as "pretty" as HP Tuners, but it accesses the exact same tables and lets you do the exact same things. Plus it's cheaper and you get better support on the forums.
http://www.digitalhorsepowerinc.com is their site, but it hasn't been updated in a while.

Cool, thanks for the tip. Have you noticed any gains with it? Do you calibrate everything manually by setting parameters or does it do a lot of it on it's own automatically? (I have used autotap in the past and had to create my own gauges to do readings.) Sorry about all the questions... thanks for any other help you can provide!2004 CE Corvette 10.86@132mph

Here's a pic of the program from a while ago: http://www.leadingedgesim.com/mkapro.../PowrTuner.jpg
There's no wizards or anything to it, and as far as I know HP Tuners is the same way. To use a tuner like this you'll have to do some learning to figure it all out. You gotta know what you're doing before you go in and start making a bunch of changes. That said, if you want to learn it, I really don't think it's that hard.
I haven't noticed a huge gain yet, but I haven't gotten into the big power stuff. I've been waiting for the weather to cool off before getting into it. Today was the first day of cool weather we've had, so I'm looking forward to some fun tuning and track times.Matt
