Default How do you put on a mail order tune?

Since most shops in Colorado can't tune if their life depended on it, I might go the mail order route. How would I put the tune in my car?

You generally send them your PCM, they upload their tuned software to it, and send it back to you.

Or like I am going to be doing. Buy the LS1 Edit program. Download your car's program via LS1 Edit. Send it via E-mail to tuner. Get program back via E-mail. Upload via LS1 edit to your PCM. Jason at Texas Speed (TSP) will be doing mine this way. You would only need to send all your mods along with the original PCM program.

LS1 Edit is $550 from www.carputing.com

I wouldn't get a super shitty computer. I just bought a new Dell - with all the goodies - for $690. Or you can go to Ebay or one of many discount on-line computer stores.

You'll get a lot use out of the computer other than just using it for LS1 Edit. You will need to get some type of A-tap. Any one of our sponsors carry them. If you buy the LS1 Edit program you'll be able to 'fine' twik the program. The guys on this site are great for helping out.

Once you start mod'ing these cars you can't stop. Talking about money pits.

Or if you really don't want to go through the E-mail. Just "pop" the PCM mail it to Jason. http://www.texas-speed.com/ He'll custom program it, and send it back for your re-install.
