Default Need To Delete Vats

Just fired up the LS1 in my 55 Chevy today, and found out VATS wasn't deleted like it was supposed to by the guy I bought the ECU from. Is there anyone in the Sacramento, CA area that can delete this for me? Not really sure what my options are.

hmm, I don`t know of anyone in the Ca area off hand, you could look for a local f-body tuner/performance shop.

Or if your open to mailing it out wait4meperformance and speartech can do it and both have a lot of experience with conversions.

if your not wanting to send it out then it would be a lot faster to find a local shop or get the software and do it yourself.

I was hoping someone local with HP Tuners or any of the other home software could hook something up. I'm sure there is someone around Sac-town!
