I'm starting to get into my LS1 now and I need a program to work on my pcm with. I'm really a novice when it comes to computers and pcms, but I do know my way around an engine. Should I buy predator, or what about LS1 edit? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

You can do alot more with LS1 Edit.

 

Ls1 edit
and for a scanning tool, EFI live is good

 

Is ls1 edit like a hypertech or predator or is it like a computer program? Also, where can I find edit and how much is it?

 

It is a computer program so you would need a laptop. Any of the sponsors will carry it.

 

go with the predator or LS1 edit

 

i would defintly go with ls1edit

 

LS1-Edit is the most robust programmer out at this time, but as already stated you also need:

1) Laptop to connect to your car's OBDII port
2) Bench harness if you prefer to take your PCM out and program it from your desktop PC instead.

So far as I'm aware only Carputing sells LS1-Edit, and via Paypal. Their page is here .

If they have resellers I'd like to know whom, as I'd rather pay with credit card.

 

Great, thanks everyone very much

 

a very reputable shop in my area charges $349 for LS1-Edit use, but it's unlimited....but they do charge for dyno time.

i was thinking of buying LS1-Edit and do it myself, but then what if i F' something up and burn a hole in my pistons?

are there set parameters on the net that you can just download. still, it's kind of scary when you're just messing around with it and not see the AF ratio on-the-fly, etc.

i'm kind of leaning towards....getting all my mods done and then have it dyno tuned by a shop that's going to use LS1-Edit and not mess with stuff.

i guess for changing shift points and such, it's fine...but when messing with the A/F ratio, that's where the real power gains could be had and/or the real nasty explosions.

 

Well its true most do not have it listed, but I am sure if you ask about it they will be able to provide it to you. The big ones like tbyrne.com , thunderracing.com, or ls1motorsports.com should be able to help. I don't see why they couldn't.
