Any one using lt1 edit software? If so is it difficult to use or should i go with an idiot proof hypertech? :banghead:

The Hypertech is ok if you you get it for around $150. I might be interested in selling mine soon as well.

it's for if you don't plan on a lot of upgrades (if your not going to open teh engine up it works fine)

$450 I thought lt1 edit was like $200 (vin locked copy) according to their site,but it requires a lap top which I don't have. I think I'll go with the lt-1 edit since it sounds easy to use and will come in handy if I make any major modifications. Thanks for all your help!

I used LT1 edit on my last car and am going to use it on this car as well- The nice part about it is that once you have an unlocked PCM you can change ANYTHING that you want.

I would be careful though- you can mess up engine in a heartbeat if you change the wrong tables. I just left it up to the pros at the dyno shop when I had my car tuned-
