Default WTB... Handheld Tuner for 98 LS1

I need a tuner that is compatible with a 1998 Z28. I just need one that can calibrate my speedo for a gear swap, adjust shift points, etc.

Thanks.

Summit Racing shows a few that will work with 98. Are their listings wrong?

The check is going to get there Tuesday. I'm having it shipped because it's only $400. I was going to fly down and drive back, but I'd only be saving a couple bucks. Plus the car has 4.10 gears and the computer hasn't been tuned yet for them. I'd rather get that taken care of before putting that amount of miles on it.

I'll post some pics in the appropriate section and post the link here.

Looks GOOD,cloth seats,I'm jealous.
Why the frown smiley after auto.
It's good to see 4.10s' in an auto,so many are reluctant/afraid to go more than 3.73.
I put 4.56s' in mine 3 years ago and never looked back.1st & 2nd are wicked.Computer handles the gas mileage well.24.5mpg at freeway legal speeds with the OEM 3.23s',21.5 mpg with the 4.56s'.Even 3 trips to Florida with the 4.56s'.

I just wanted a 6 speed. That's good to hear about the gearing/mileage.

When I went looking for a Z28 in 2001,top of what I wanted list was 6 speed,found mine at Randolph swap meet for $4,000 less than typical going price back then. Couldn't resist. There are times I wish it was 6 speed,but that's only about maybe 5% of the time.
Autos have a high 'shock' value on the street when it comes to launching. Maybe someday I'll have one of each.
