should I buy ls1edit, headers, or wet kit? I was wondering with as few mods as I have, would LS1 edit even make sense to buy now? Sure mods later but what good would it do me now? Or should I just go with headers? I also considered buying a wet kit. Small shot though 75-100. I'm open for suggestions.

ls1edit is crap compared to HPTuners or EFILive.
Headers would be a better investment - but then you may need a slight adjustment on the tune from the headers.

If you have an automatic you will realize a lot of street
performance, drivability improvement. You can get more
-consistency- by setting up things like fan temps, etc.
You can pick up a few tens of HP by fixing mixture and
optimizing spark afvance, as well as powerband use
(shift points on A4). Plus HPTuners and EFILive let you
scan the vehicle, good for maintenance and figuring out
whether you put the right-enough jetting in that wet kit,
and let you kill the SES codes that you will probably get
when the headers go on.
When you can make the car talk, you can mod smarter.
