Which Should I buy LS1 Edit or Autotap I am a very advanced computer user but am new the world of LS1 moding. I read a lot about you guys moding your cars and tweaking your PCM's. If I were going to buy one of these programs which one should I get Autotap or LS1edit? My car is a 2000 Z28 with an A4 that I bought new and will remain a daily driver so I won't be doing anything extreme.
So far my mods are a 160 stat, K&N filter with LS1 Motor Sport air lid, Magnaflow exhaust and cat back, 18" wheels, GM Factory SS ram air hood. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Which Should I buy LS1 Edit or Autotap Unfortunately, you need both.
LS1 Edit's sole job is to pull the program from your PCM and edit it.
Autotaps sole job is to monitor all of the perameters on your PCM.

LS1 Edit = programming tool
A-tap = scaning tool
I recommed both. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Which Should I buy LS1 Edit or Autotap Thanks guys I like the idea of LFLive or Ease but how come I never see the guys talking about those if it's better and where can I get them?

Re: Which Should I buy LS1 Edit or Autotap EFILive is like a good kept secret or something. I bought Autotap and once the salesman found out I had an LS1, he said I should've gotten EFILive. Of course it was too late. EFILive is a lot better monitoring tool than Autotap and it can even do other cool things like lock your torque converter if you have an A4. Supposedly there is some software coming out that will log AND let you tune called Tunercat. That's just my understanding, could be wrong.
Re: Which Should I buy LS1 Edit or Autotap Now all we need is for that guy down under to get with those guys from Ill. and we'll have one tool that does it all. I guess that will be called AutoEdit? Where do we line up?
