After looking at the prices listed, I have to say I'm a little disappointed.
I remember a few months back someone said that there was finally going to be a cheaper alternative to LS1 edit.
Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of work goes into designing this software and I'm not saying the application isn't worth the cash but I really wish there was a low cost alternative.
I don't even have an LS1, just wish my friends with LS1s had a resonable alternative to LS1 edit.

What about the fact that this particular product combines the tuning capabilities of LS1Edit with the diagnostic logging capabilities of Autotap into one package, for less than the two seperately.

That is a good point....I always forget that you LS1 guys don't have free scanning software like us LT1 guy do in FreeScan.

As I said above, I honestly do think this is a good value for the amount of features it comes with. After considering the scanning feature and the ability to program many different vehicles it doesn't seem bad at all.
I'm just used to the prices for LT1 programming.

And for that price, it only works with one VIN. So 500 bucks to be able to tune say any 99 ls1 camaro, is worth the money.

This is on their site.
Each vehicle type you purchase will allow you to reprogram ANY NUMBER of vehicles of that model and year. You are only "locked" to the model/years that you purchase.
And in their Forum titled, "Pricing Info" The administrator named Mangnus had this to say.
Purchasing the 2000 F-body ls1 package allows you to program ALL 2000 LS1 f-bodies.. no limit to the #..
.And in comparison to LS1 Edit, if you only want to reprogram say 99/00 Camaro/Firebird, it is $3500 for the unlimited VIN version, and that only does 99/00. So for $900 I can purchace VCM and do 99/00 Camaro/Firebird. But the best part about it is, I can add more cars and years to the pakage, for $400. LS1 edit is CRAZY expensive compared to that if you want to add more years. And it still only does Camaro/Firbird and trucks.
Plus I guess one of the biggest things to look at here, is VCM gives all of the V6 guys a programming option. We have had a 98 Grand Prix GTP in our family since it was new, now their is an option for me to do custom tunning for that car at a resonable price.
I guess the bottom line here is I am saying good for HP Tuners LLC. It is about time someone else got into the custom tunning software game, and put a stop to the monopoly.
