Default LT1 tuners, opinion needed

well do to my car giving me issues and running low on funds while having to maintain another car my dyno tune will probably be a forgotten dream for now.....

Anyways was wondering what software everyone is using which they find easiest, best layout, best price etc. etc.

Tuning software needs to be for a 96 camaro lt1 obd2 port.

Thanks in advance!

Your best bet is to swap to a OBD1 PCM and run TunerCats or LT1 Edit. TunerCats allows you to tune unlimited cars.

You will be pretty limited on tuning choices when staying OBD2 and they are rather expensive.

A you in a state that does emissions testing.
