I'm in need of some tuning software....I've read up on Tunercat and LT1 Edit and just wanted to hear your guys' inputs? Which is more "user friendly" etc. Thanks...

 

well i've used both, lt1 edit is a little easier for me, but i'm using tuner cat because its not limited to vin numbers. also their alot more you can do with tuner cat.

oh and tuner cat is cheaper.

 

So both are pretty much the same? So should I go with Tunercat?

 

I use both also. Honestly, I find LT1Edit a little easier to use because I'm more used to its user interface (parameters are grouped together in somewhat logical associations, rather than a huge drop-down list). But Tunercat's latest version has made some serious improvements, and features like not having to exit the tuner to program the PCM is a real hit in my book.

They both offer similar functionality. Either one does the job well.

 

what version tuner cat do you have?

 

I downloaded Tunercat the first time in 1999. I downloaded last time over the weekend. I've run almost every version in between. I work on more than just LT1's - and Tunercat's the best editor (IMO) for that. LT1Edit won't support Tuned Port cars, Throttle Body Injected cars, 92-93 LT1's, etc. - but I burn chips for them with Tunercat. I'll be firing it up hopefully this week to start tweaking on my TBI-equipped 79Z (just idling in my shop, it runs so rich it made my eyes tear up and I had to stop the motor).

I'm running whatever the current release on his web site is. 2.0 or something like that.
