Default Raising LT1 rev limiter

Going to the dyno tomorrow and I want to simply raise my rev limiter from 6400 up to 6600.
I have Tunercat demo and the EE (LT)1 file to edit the tune. No problem there.

Is this how I do it;
1. Loadt the tune in Tunercat for editing
2. Go to ECM constants
3. Raise "fuel cutoff 1st gear" from 6397 up to 6597
4. Raise "fuel cutoff 2nd-6th gear" from 6397 up to 6597
5. Raise "fuel resume 1st gear" from 6356 up to 6556
6. Raise "fuel resume 2nd-6th gear" from 6356 up to 6556
7. Save and rename the tune.
8. Load it in the car

Is this correct?
Anything else I need to address?

Thanks

Do a google search on tunercat. I had to buy the EE file for around $20.00 or so. The tunercat has a thirty day trial period to play with it.

Yeah, that won't work. I think he posted before that he has a '96.

Tunercats doesn't do OBDII anymore. The LT1Edit OBDII is a couple hundred... like 600 or 700 I think. www.carputing.com
