Reprogramming from LS1Edit

Can you use a handheld to reprogram from LS1Edit? I have a '98 Z28 that was programmed using LS1Edit last year. My car needs to be re-tuned, but I don't know where to start. I was thinking of buying a HPTuners or Vinci prgrammer.

I will really appreciate any advice!

your options are edit, and hptuners for the 1998 cars right now.

Vinci's tuner is not available for the 98 cars yet. To be honest I do not know how they program, if they write a full file, based off a full file on the device it could overwrite the tune. however, if it is programmed based on how I would expect, it only writes the changes, which could cause a problem with writing over an edited tune.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. I may need to find someone who can re-tune w/LS1Edit.

you can reprogram with hptuners or edit, on a edited file. Or have you pcm flashed back to stock, and use any of the handhelds.

I asked this exact same question to Keith at HPT, and he said that the HPT will be able to read, edit and reflash a VCM that has already been tuned using Edit.
