I agree with C_Rules. Stay far, far away from LT1Edit. It has absolutely no support from the bu^^heads who wrote it. And tunercat has more features available.
And your 94 has no torque management, that is for LS1s only.

Agreed on Tunercat and Datamaster though maybe try pcmperformance for the cable, AKM is nice too just the pcmperformance one is a little more tidy.

LT1 does not use torque management.

Tuner cat period.

OBDI it is super cheap. And OBDII you have to buy it from JET. But it has much better support for it than Edit.

Tuner Cat - Free for 30days and then $70 for a license
Tuner Cat Def File - $20 (needed even if using free for 30 days)
OBDI Cable - $50 to $75 (depending on where you buy)
Datamaster (car monitoring/recording program) - 20 free uses then $120 to reg.

Consider - Downloading CatsTuner, getting a cable and then getting an email tune from PCMforless.com as I just did one and their great. Bryan will work with you and get it tuned in over the next 6 months. Costs $75 but way cheaper to do it your self.

Let me know if you have any questions and good luck.

If you buy the Datamaster license through AKMCables then it is only like $95. I do not know what I would do without Datamaster, great thing to have even for a stock car you do no programming too.
