Default Do I need LS1 edit?

I have a stock 2001 WS6 A4 with a lid and GMAF. I putting SLP long-tubes and a Corsa exhaust. My question is, should I go with or without cats, and should I get LS1 edit tuning. What gains would I get with LS1 edit. The car is stock from top to bottom. Please help, I`m getting this done this month! Thanks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Personally, I would go without cats.

As for the LS1 Edit tuning, unless you like looking at SES lights (because you now have no cats) then yes I would get it. Additionally, that GMAF has a tendency to lean out your engine. Some LS1 Edit tuning will be able to compensate for this and put your air/fuel ratio right on.

Gains with LS1 Edit: You may gain 20hp, you may gain nothing. It really depends on the car. If you are going LT's with no cats though, I would highly advise getting tuned.

Good Luck

I dont think your really need the LS1 edit at this time, but if you want to buy it any ways let your other LS1 friends know that is only $100.00 more for them to get it. i think you can go up to 4 people per cable. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
