   RW> Look into the HP Tuner...it costs around $500 for the program, dongle and   
   RW> a license for one CPU (they use the VIN that's programmed into the CPU   
   RW> for licensing purposes). I forget how much an open license is, but if you   
   RW> work on cars for a living, especially if you have a dyno for tuning (I   
   RW> don't), it's worth having. For me, it's a lot of fun to tinker with the   
   RW> CPU settings and note the performance differences.   
      
   I'm not sure what settings I would adjust.  I have several different programs   
   for monitoring the computer output.  I have brought my laptop with me in my   
   car and driven to work and recorded the entire trip a few times.  Once before   
   the engine swap and once afterwards just to ensure everything looked similar.    
   It can help a great deal when you are troubleshooting a partially failed O2   
   sensor.   
      
   RW> Does it have a plug in the pan? Or did you syphon through the dipstick   
   RW> tube?   
      
   I used the evacuater and syphoned it through the dipstick.
