LT1_EDIT is the premier software of choice for most LT1 tuners.

I've never tuned myself, because of the dangers involved with being a beginner.

I bought JET DST tuner just because it came with 4 VIN slots and can tune more then just 96-97 LT1 cars. It works ok i suppose, there's only 1 datalogger that will supposedly work with the JET interface box but I have yet to purchase it so switching cables back and forth is kind of a pain.
