You will have to go with someone like LT1-Edit for OBDII since your's is a 1996. You will also need any kind of scan tool like Autotap.

Yes, HP Tuners is probably the best choice out right now. There are people **wink,wink** that do mail order tunes so there is no down time.

The reason I mentioned LT1-Edit is HP Tuner's does not go back to the LT1 world and he is really in a bad situation as their are a ton of tools and cables for the pre-obdII LT1 PCM's but the OBDII is very limited in tuning options. I only personally know of one package for the DIY'er which is LT1-Edit. They may be more now but I haven't seen much about it.

Didn't notice he was an LT1. LT1 Edit is the way to go then, actually personally I'd do an OBD1 swap and then just get Tunercat. Way cheaper.

Yeah, crazy huh. That's why I said Tunercat and do an OBD1 conversion. Tunercat is like $50 and the OBD1 conversion is usually around $250 from most places.
