BTW, asking questions is one of the best ways to learn, I ask silly questions too. But I also learn a hell of a lot from the replies.

I totally forgot something important. You get a special cable from the guys at carputing, and that cable is tied to your car's VIN. Thats how they keep from one version of LS1edit gettin out and bein used for half a state lol. LS1edit is also not cheap, as you also want to run a logging program like EFILive or AutoTap to check the results. Typically comes out to around $800-$1000.

You should really study up on engine management and tuning. As you can do some REAL damage to your motor/trans with such a tool.
i spose you ME majors should have a good understanding, but there may be some general books.
I would highly recommend a wideband if you plan to hack your air fuel and timing. $325-350 for an innovative goes a long way with a tuning program to actually know what you are effecting.

now with ls1 edit do you need to have a laptop hook up at all times?
how easy is to switch back to stock settings for dealer work?
i have heard you can gain alot of power just by tweaking the stock setup
with tuning

you can save your stock settings in a file and reflash you pcm anytime takes bout 5 mins-15
you wont gain ALOT over stock... but on a dyno tune you can squeeze alittle more out...
you dont need laptop hooked up all the time just make adjustments and reflash.... simple

the other guys said pretty much all that can be said. i bought edit, efi live v5, and laptop and the total cam out to be 1045 or so. its not cheap but when you have a alot of mods (h/c/i) then its a nice tool to have.
there is alot of info to read up on and should be consulted on before reflashing your pcm because you can fucke things up.
i plan to just do a basic tune and edit (rev, speed limiter, idle, delete codes, ect) and get my car so its runnin correctly then i'll take it to have it dyno tuned.
also while not as advanced as edit you can get predator, it does alot of basic tuning and its another cheaper option. i'd of gotten it but predator doesnt make one for 98's so edit was the only option
