Default anyone know where to find software that i can use to link my laptop to my monte's PCM

while talking to a classmate at college. I became more intrusted in finding a copy of software that will allow me to tune my monte's PCM via my laptop being plugged into the OBD II port. So my question is where can i find software that will allow me to do this and how much should i be looking to spend for it? the only requirment is that it must be compatible with Windows 7.

The software is easy. Scantool.net... dashxl... all likds of stuff available. The hardware is slightly more difficult. I use the ELM 327 connection and it works great. Good luck.

I would look on Clubgp.com in the classifieds section for a "Powertuner". They're usually around $250-400.

HP Tuners FTW! It's pricey and a bit hard to learn but worth it.
