Re: Sorry paiN Hey no problem PM!
I was excited about it too when I first told about the GP. But after seeing how the topic went on the other forum...we became very skeptical.
Too bad, If Carputing offered a GP on ls1edit...I'd have been all over it probably <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I just hope the people who do still go in on that don't get hosed.
Take it easy!

Re: Sorry paiN $550 up front might sound heavy but there are no other products around that allow the car owner to tune his car the way he wants it, whenever they want, as many times as they want and as fast as you want so the writeoff of the cost is reduced greatly over time and heck if you sell the car you could also sell the tuner tool and still get part of your money back.
I spent a year of crap trying to get the engine workinh right with the clunker powerloader tune and a MAFT but one evening with LS1edit and I solved all ills the PCM calibration had to performance.

Re: Sorry paiN Carputing does not give discounts to anyone. When they first came out, we even asked them to be sponsors here and asked for a discount on their software for myself, PSJ, and Colonel as a trade. They were not interested.

Re: Sorry paiN Why give discounts when you don't have too! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
AFAIK, they are the only ones offering this type of flexibility when it comes to LS1 tuning. Make the money while you can, worry about discounts when you get a competitor. <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />
Not the best scenario for us(LS1 owners) but, what'cha gonna do. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Sorry paiN PMFJI, but I read that thread, and what struck me as fishy was the whole cable thing. I didn't think that carputing would supply 25 cables with one unlimited LS1 Edit. Also, this guy said he was "collecting cables" so everyone would have one. Sure, and I have some land, CHEAP, in Podunk. <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" />

When I saw it, the first thing I thought was "Dammit! I just sent in the whole amount 2 weeks ago!" It sure did seem that the organizer didn't know what was going on, but I figured what could it hurt if I asked Ken if I could cancel and get in on this GP (worst would be he said no)... That's when Ken told me it was a scam, he also went on to say they've been swamped with orders and would welcome a break before drumming up more sales with special pricing...

Team ZR-1, You made some good points about the high cost of LS1 Edit. For me, it was a no-brainer: it would have cost almost as much just to have a couple codes deleted, plus I have this software that I can use for years to tune my car.

Re: Sorry paiN Team ZR-1 has all the Positve Points,$550.00 is a Drop in the bucket for what you can do with it
Just right now is a bad timeIf I did the wife would shoot me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> If I had it I know my car could run much better <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I do intend on getting one in the future though.

Point is before you know it winter will be here again costing you another year of getting your car tuned the way you want it, so do it now, get your learning curve up in using the tuner tool and by winter will be a pro at doing the super tune you always wanted.
Besides the more you tune the more you learn about OBD-2 so when OBD-3 comes out soon you will not be so far behind the curve ball <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
