Thumbs up

It is software and a cable that allows you to reprogram your car's PCM. You can make an almost endless variety of changes. We have an entire forum here at LS1Tech devoted to "PCM Diagnostics and Tuning". Check it out.

Oh, and yes, it is good but HPTuners is much better, IMO.

Perhaps you didn't read above but we have an ENTIRE FORUM dedicated to this subject. It's called "PCM Diagnostics and Tuning."

But ok, I'll play...

WOT shift points (A4)
Part throttle upshift and downshift points (A4)
Timing advance
Converter lockup points (A4)
Fan settings
Toggle off certain diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
Adjust shift properties (A4)
Adjust fueling
Turn off TQ management
Adjust Rev limits
Change idle speed
And MANY MANY other things!

And yes, if you don't know what you're doing or are dumb about it you can hurt your engine and/or A4 transmission.

LS1 Edit is 550.00 - 100.00 if you fill out a customer satisfaction form. They started the 100.00 off deal around when HP Tuners started killing there sells

You can purchase HP Tuners setup for 500.00 + 10.00 shipping @ www.hptuners.com and I would highly recommend this over LS1 Edit now. Like was was stated many times before, the PCM tuning section has this question and about 9,338 other threads about similar topics.
