LT1 Edit Noob (HELP)

Alright, just got my LT1 edit in, I just wanna know the basics, and some do's and dont's. I have a 1996 Z28 with a 388 stroker, has just about everything. What else do I need to be a good tuner on LT1 edit? Or can I just use LT1 edit to do the tuning. I would also like to know what I can do to get the car running better before I get the equipment to check the parameters, because the car is basically fully modded and never been tuned + 42# injectors that I havent installed because of this. I can post a mod list if needed.

Things I wanna know:

Deleting Cats
Deleting Rear o2s
Deleting AIR
Changing Gear Ratio / Speedo Correct
Tuning for bigger injectors
Tuning to get good a/f ratio
Turning the fans on @ 180 degrees
Retarding timing

Also wanna just know what means what, and stuff I should really need to know. Thank you for all the input and help.

Just wanted to know if you still have the 96 PCM and if so where and how much you got your LT1 edit. Seems the price is sky high now. I really want something to tune my 96 but cant pay $400 for it.

Still got my stock PCM and got LT1 edit from a friend, yes it is 400 and I also think it is rediculous, it should be more in the 250 range, i mean they already made a fortune off the product, and i think more people would buy it if it were cheaper.

The LC1+ kit includes an LC-1 wideband controller with O2 sensor, plus an SSI-4 multi-sensor interface. Used in conjunction with LogWorks, running on a laptop or PC, this setup allows you to record and analyze 5 channels of data. These channels are Air/Fuel Ratio, and any four of the following: RPM, Injector Pulse Width, Throttle Position, Driveshaft/Wheel Speed, or Boost/Vacuum. All channels can be configured for external 0-5V or frequency. .

Is that enough?

You might want to consider getting a tune emailed to you from Madwolf or Pcm4Less as a starter then comparing it to your stock program to see where the changes are.
You can use the LT-1 Edit to load it and see how it works then make changes to it and go from there.
