LT1 Edit for a reasonable price? getting dyno tuned at kennedy's dyno, my knock sensor is off and fuel banks are off.....hoping to get this resolved with a tune. She is running to rich....thanks for any info.

 

www.carputing.com is the only source for LT1 Edit. Be happy you didn't have to buy the OBD II version...ouch.

 

They are $200 for the kit right? What is the process of getting this....their website is a bit confusing...about sending some file and then getting the program...or do you just fill out the form and they send you the program...how does it work?

 

They basically want you to send them your VIN number on the PCM so the program only works for your vehicle and not your buddies. Get tuner cat and screw lt1 edit, its cheaper, has everything lt1 edit has, and has the option of configuring more than one type of vehicle

 

True, unless you have OBD II...

 

The dyno place around my house is calling for lt1 edit because they know how to use it. They said I can buy something like lt1 edit but they will need to learn it as they go....how much is tuner cat? and where to buy?

 

Hi Mark,
We have one expert editor version, and it has everything in it (same
as the professional tuners). The software costs $200 for one PCM. If
you need a logging scanner, that would be $50.
You will also need a cable, from www.akmcables.com. It costs around
$90.
All you need is a laptop (with a serial port), and you can tune over
and over. You can adjust the knock sensitivity and its effects, and
afr. Please see our 94/95 webpage for all the things you can change
with LT1-edit."

Mann...thats expensive.....

 

More than double the price, so....yea.

 

Hummm Im gonna have to get my buddy to find a way to make the program work on multiple vins.... we were gonna go halves or three way on LT1 edit. He does some amazing stuff im sure it wouldnt be too hard for him

 

is the cable for the LT1 edit software same as the cable that connects the scanner to the pcm module for code scanning?

 

Not cool. These are car guys like you and me. They put out a great product for a reasonable price. They aren't some huge software company. Please, spend the extra $100 to have a couple vins added to a copy of LT1 Edit so these type people will continue to make cool products at reasonable prices for little guys like us to use.

 

They could manually enter the vin number for your car. One reason I believe they want you to send them a file of your PCM is because this will ensure that you have a decent cable and have established a connection with your PCM.

If they were to just manually enter your vin then send you the program, you might have a flaky cable, can't get things to work, and worse, damage the PCM on the upload. So, if you are able to send them a good file, it tells them that you have your setup in order and have figured out how to connect your computer to your PCM

 

In most cases, yes. A Diacom cable won't work but you can use the same cable for TTS Datamaster as you would for LT1 Edit.
