hey i'm starting a 3400 swap into my cav and I'm going to need the computer from a 2000 grand am computer reflashed so it will work with a manual transmission. If anybody within a few hours of hamilton has hp tuners and can do this for me it would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, on top of me appreciating your help, I would be willing to pay you, I'm not expecting a freebie here.

Come on guys, I'm sure someone around here can do this, or atleast suggest a place to get it done at.... I'm not asking for a full tune of my car, I just need the 3400 to work with a manual trans.

your going from auto to stick it won't need to be flashed it should only need to be flashed if your going stick to auto have helped with many of these conversions and have all been fine when installation is complete turn ignition on don't start leave it on for 10min or until antitheft light stops flashing hope this helps

WRONG!
He NEEDS HPT if he even wants to start the car. Vats owns us when we do swaps like this. The car wont even start until its disabled with HPT.

^^ This guy.....knows his @!#$. I'd listen to him.

Since I am the one doing all the flashing for him, I can confirm this. It's because you aren't using the bcm and cluster from the donor PCM, so you absoloutely need to shut off VATS so that the car will start. There is a lot of code removing for the auto trans, too. In fact, it's quite a decent amount of work.... not difficult, just a lot of things that need changed to make the car idle/run like stock.
