Con: You **** off the purists who claim you need an opti and anyone can tune an LT1 PCM for boost no problem.
Pro: You get COP, 80e control, live tuning, no optispark, whatever redline you want, a PCM anyone can tune, the list goes on... I would not give it a second thought, 24x is very much so justified for a boosted car.

i'll be going 24x in preperation for a single turbo setup. for me it is about the tuning, no one near me will touch my car tuning wise, but there are plenty of guys tuning ls vehicles. right now i have a mailorder tune which is alright for now but once FI is added to the mix, a mailorder tune just wont cut it. i am dreading the cost though lol but it is worth it for sure

The problem mainly is that very few people still tune LT1s. There are some hold outs left but they're far and few between. In Houston, I can think of none. So the Pro is you can actually get the car tuned as most tuners won't touch the LT1 stuff or lack the software or cables to do so as it's such a small market and generally not worth the head ache. Mine has been running a 24X set up, tuned in speed density for 5 years.
