I don't know much about it, but there is another section on LS1tech just for tuning and whatnot.. you may try there if you can't find anything here.

I use tuner cats for tuning and tts datamaster for logging. You can find tunercats HERE and data master HERE. Your also going to need cables that can be found HERE i would recommend the usb port style as there easier to use with newer laptops.Depending on what year car you have is going depend on what tuning software you can use. If you have a 94-95 you could pm me and i can prob give you a deal on the tuning software and definition file. THIS Is a good start to read for beginning tuners. I have been doing it for a about two years now and it just comes with time, you get better at it as you go along.
