With the mods you listed, you must be running on the lean side, unless you're using a MAFT (it seems best to have your LTFTs slightly negative). If you haven't already, I'd be thinking about getting a scan program to find out what's going on with your car, then LS1 Edit (the scanner will indicate what changes to make). It seems you could certainly benefit from LS1 Edit, after you scan your car, or a MAFT at the very least.

Default LS1 edit and the future

I currently have only bolt ons: high flow airbox,K&N filter,ported MAF, long tube headers, high flow cats, 3" y-pipe and 3" exhaust cut out on the intermediate pipe before axle. I am planning on doing a cam and pulleys in another month, but will need to get reprogramming or have someone help me do it with LS1 edit. My question is, should I get LS1 edit now and use it on my current setup (could I be getting more power), or should I wait until I do the cam? Thanks.

Are your LTFTs positive? If so you could richen them with just a MAFT, or LS1 Edit. Same with WOT. Do you have any SES lights because of modifications you've done such as removing the EGR and AIR systems? If so, LS1 Edit could help. If you have an A4 you could certainly benefit using LS1 Edit there. Do you plan on bigger injectors in the future? If so, LS1 Edit can help. Just ask yourself questions like these and you'll know whether you could benefit from LS1 Edit.

Thanks, I currently do not have any SES lights, I am using the EGR and AIR and O2 sensors, etc. I have a M6 and am not bypassing anything, so as far as I know everthing is cool? Just curious if I could be losing any power without editing yet? Guess that could be a hard question to answer without saying that it is in general, not specific.
