I believe you can do that with a Roadrunner, but it's a bit pricey. Look in the PCM Tuning subforum for more info.

You can do it with EFI Live with custome operating systems. You can flip between two tunes with the car running. It works really well for boosted or N2O cars.

Dead on, EFI Live can do this for any 99-03 LS 512kb PCM, which includes

99-02 F-Bodys
99-02 LS powered trucks

Not really 2 tunes, but yeah the capability is there to effectively run 2 VE tables via the VE Multiplier when the switch is grounded. Spark works in a similar manner but the modifier is a +- value to the normal spark with the switch grounded. Both these tables aren't fixed either, rather they offer the modifiers to be applied at different RPM's. The modified VE can also be switched on at a commanded MAP in conjuction with the switch if desired.

This operating system is of course free from EFI LIVE
