Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine...
Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... Absolutely.
Remove CAGS
Get rid of your speed limiter
Adjust your speedometer
Raise your rev-limiter. (If your a gambling man <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )
As far as HP goes, you could probably squeak out a few more ponies. BUT, there are better ways to spend your money if you are looking for HP.

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... I myself was wondering the same thing > except what can LS1 edit do for a supercharged car? Does it allow you to change things like a/f mixture. Or is it more like a Hypertech Power Tuner? What is this LS1 edit? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... I know it can reprogram almost anything that is reprogrammable, but I'm still trying to find out more about it myself.
www.carputing.com I think is the website where you can get them. I'd love to see a complete list of what it can do myself.

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... If you own LS1 edit, help shed some light on this subject! I don't really care about the rev limiter type of program changers > I'd like to know if this LS1 edit is a Hypertech Programmer with a differant name. Somebody must know.... <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... ls1 edit is much much more than a
hPP3. it allows you to adjust fuel, timing ect.....to whatever you want . its not a set thing like hpp3 you can change the setting in most everything in the pcm to what you want.

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... Thanks Pontiaddict! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I've been looking for that answer I've been looking for! Now just one more for now > <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> Can you use LS1 edit on something else other than a Lap Top? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... If HPP3 were a tricycle, LS1Edit would be a 21-speed mtb.
You could use LS1Edit with a desktop, the cable is long enough, but a laptop is obviously the way to go.

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... I just bought in a group buy with LS1 edit from a shop and I'm going to get my car dyno tuned in 2 weeks and the guy told me he could get me 10-15 whp. Do you think that is possible. Mods are in the sig plus ASP crank pulley and FLP's no cats.
Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... i have a slightly diferent oponion on the original question. on a car with a stock engine but with an auto, yea i think it is worth it.
on a 6sp car maybe, maybe not. it doesn't come with any preset power loders or anything like that, sure you can go in and change alot of stuff like timing and fuel mixture but do you know what to change it to. it will take some studing and some trial and error or someone that has done it helping you so you know what to do to the timing, also if you are doing the trial and error aproch, like adding timing and doing a run you would probably want some kine of scan tool like atap to see what is going on in there.
i have a truck with an auto and a few mods and for $550 it was a bargain, so far i have adjusted for larger injectors, shift points, rev limiter, speed limiter, raised idle, lowered shift down points, removed TM. and in the next week or so will be geting rid of the egr set up and the rear o2's

Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... per the original question, I don't think theres much to gain for a stock vehicle. The curves are actually pretty good already and really agressive in comparison to the LT1s
Re: Is LS1 Edit worth getting for a stock engine... He didn't say stock "vehicle," he said stock "engine."
Yes it is well worth it if you have an A4. I have already picked up 2 mph and dropped nearly 2 tenths just from playing with the shifts and deleting TM.
