Is a LS1Edit tune worth it for my mods and 90K miles? Obviously, this is about my 2001 Z (6spd). It's just a couple hundered miles shy of 90K. The mods are...
SLP Loudmouth Catback
SLP Y-Pipe
Custom Bellows - don't ask
TSP Air Lid
K&N Filter
K&N Breather
NGK TR55 Plugs
Taylor ThunderVolt 50 Wires
Throttle Body Coolant Bypass
Free Ram Air
Right now, i'm throwing a knock sensor code. PO327: Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Imput Bank 1 or 1 Sensor. I plan on replacing both knock sensors in the spring. I'm hoping that takes care of the problem. Would anyone think it could be caused by something else?
I plan on going to Rapid (since it's the closest to me). My mind just went black and I can't think what else I was going to say

bad gas, the car kind. although i guess if you really let loose..... you don't say anything about pcm mods, so is it worth it ? how much is it ? even a hpp111 can give you a little more power, so you tell us. a couple hundred bucks is a fortune to some and nothing to others. if it's running well, i wouldn't factor in the milage too much, you could have ten miles on it, modify it, and crash it the next day. the fact that you're even on this forum leads me too believe you have the same confused sense of priorites the rest of us do, i'm sure it can go faster.

For the money there are other things you can do that would be better worth it than a custom tune at your mod level.
Hell, I can't even justify the extra expense of a dyno tune at my level, I seem to be doing OK on my own with Edit, for drivability improvement and such.
Then again, I'm not trying to build a race car so every last ounce of power is not all that important to me....

Good points. I did a search, and although it didn't return specifically what I was looking for, it did more or less say what you're all saying.
OTOH, I ran a Predator for a couple weeks, and I think it actually helped a bit. I didn't buy it because I figured a good custom dyno tune would yield even better results. Hm... what to do.
