It should read all the modules in under 60 seconds. 17ms is pretty slow, but it still shouldn't take that long. You may have a bad ELM. I had a WiFi adapter that worked fine but I prefer USB personally. I think wired connections are faster and more stable.

Totally agree. A wired connection is much better. I had trouble writing to the IC with my wireless so I used the one that came with my boot leg IDS. It was much faster.

Note that, had he upgraded his driveshaft, tires, wheels and rear diff, his V6 Mustang would have happily reached 150mph and above.
I bet he filled his undies!!

Yes doing it myself with a friend who's a tech and has the computer system to save and write.

My questions is, is there a write up on swapping out the BCM hardware?

Thanks!

There's only 2 bolts that hold it in, it should have connectors on the back side to disengage the harness.
