Why can't we get this

My cousin has a Z28 which has OBDII. He told me he can tune his car by just buying a cable and using his notebook. I wish EVO owners could buy something like this. It would be the easiest thing to do, installation would be like 2 minutes!!! Plus the price would be the same as getting our ECU reflashed.

What do you guys think?

No the LT1 edit lets you change anything on the ecu. You can change fuel timing, even when what temp the fans can turn on in your car. Its a device that allows for full customizations

why not look into a XEDE from Vishnu tuning? you have control over fuel , timing and boost curve. and the stock ECU will still control the rest of the cars functions( fans, idle, etc..)

Or the Greddy E-Manage with anti-engine stall, data logging, timing, etc. etc.

I had LS1Edit for my Camaro SS, it's a cool tool but very intensive. There is a "support group" for this tool on LS1.com

I was thinking of Exede. If I am right though the Exede doesn't feature a rev limit increaser does it? Seeing how that if you lean the fuel out on the EVO increasing the rev limit would give me more room in a gear. That way I can be reminded of my VR-4, which I sold.

Using LS1, I would assume you have a lot of control over many variables. That's a big risk to take if you 'mess up' a setting.
