I cant seem to find any software for tuning reflashing and all the stuff for a
MAC... Does anyone know of a program that runs on MAC OSX? Im willing to
pay some for it if its a good program.

Hmm... If you can bootcamp Windows you can run FreeScan. Otherwise, I think you're pretty much stuck with paid services like AEM or Holley's Dominator.

They do, but I would strongly advise running a bootcamp version of Windows instead. AEM's software is $500, and Holley doesn't sell theirs without you buying the Dominator, itself selling for $600. FreeScan is, as it's name implies, free. But it only runs on Windows.

Ive bin a Mac guy for a long time,your out-ta luck my friend,buy a PPPPC.i didn't thinki would ever say that to a Mac user,Boot camp is an eliminator app that runs windos on your Mac.an no real parallel conect-cord- for Mac ether.so a good scan tool will cost you a $100 or more,so if you get your self an older PC laptop for$100,iam sure the guys here will walk you right threw it,an the hook up an Apps are PC any how.good luck

Yeah, unfortunately with tuning software being such a niche market already, it's unlikely any of them will aim for a smaller segment of the computer market. As he said, your best bet is a cheap laptop.

While we're on this topic I have Tuner Pro, Tuner Pro RT
and Freescan. I need a cable though for my computer to hook
up to my Fiero. Did you guys make your own or is there
somewhere I have to buy it?
I can make my own if I have a shopping list..

Thanks guys/gals,
Cody (G_Reaper PFF)

It's easier to buy one, but if you're determined, you can adapt your own from existing parts. I believe FreeScan actually has a guide to do so on their site.

I tried to navigate their site to find one but I failed. I
shall attempt it again. If not I've messaged Dodgerunner on
PFF about quoting me one for this Summer. Thanks again Rome
^_^

Cheers,
