Think before you speak.

LT-1 is carb, from the 70s

LT1 is EFI from the 90s.

Two different engines. You said "LT-1"

we understand that you have menstrual cycles but seriously dude? think you could actually help some one out and not nit-pick so much?!
Ion has always done good for me and his prices are tough to beat -> www.madtuner.com
theres other tuner of course and the comparisons have been beaten to death so try the search if you want to read more into it.

Very correct.

There are a handful of tuners that do LT1's, definitely not as many as LSx's. Or you can buy tuning software and do it yourself.

In still "assuming" you're talking about a 92-97 . That being the case, I would call Ed Wright, Moe Bailey, or Ion Soltan (madtune.

Avoid PCMFORLESS and LT1PCMTUNING like the plague.

if you can find some one local with a dyno that has the software that would be the way to go! call round to any and all speed shops. i was willing to drive almost 2 hrs to have mine put on the rollers and im very happy i did.

Thanks everyone for your help, I do not plan to modify the car at this point due to not having the money at this time, just get the pcm to run the motor so it can be driven.

If all you need is a stock tune, any of the major tuners like PCMforless.com or Madtuner should be able to help you out. They'd probably do it at a discounted rate also.

Based on this information All you need is a stock pcm...not a retune...
And as said by Gregrob LT-1 is not LT1... specific information is critical for help here and to avoid diagnostic forum helper troll bites
