98 4.2 computer reflash

I changed my gear ratio and now I need to reflash the computer, but I can't find anyone who can do it.

Any ideas?

Where are you located? Superchips and sniper inc dynotune in the sanford, FL area. Look at the high end performance shops around you, some do offer tuning. On the other side, look at sniper, SCT, hypertech, superchip, ect and see which ones offer gear changes and buy it.

Thanks for the input.

I have not heard back from Superchips or SCT, but Diablo said I need a new chip and a performance shop can tune it for me. Hypertec said no and so did Sniper.
I'll keep you updated.

If all else fails, superlift makes a truespeed specmo box to trick the pcm into knowing the right speed. I would suggest exhausting every tuner before this, but if you can't find another way, it works.
