I was scared when I got edit. All the tables and **** just looked like chinese. In about 1 week I was able to get a pretty firm grasp on "most" of the tables. There are several tables that are available that you don't even mess with. Check out www.ls1tuning.com There is some very good information there. I found out that no matter how much I read, it didn't make any sense until I was actually able to look at edit and understand wtf was going on.

You will also need scanning software like EFILive or autotap. A number of things in LS1 Edit are easy to change and understand. The hard part is with the Ltrims, timming,etc. LS1Edit does have a learning curve with it. I have had mine for a couple of months and am learning every day. Just take it slow and easy and you will be fine. There is a lot of help on this site and others.
Good Luck.
