Its says you can do things like change shift points, shift "Firmness", etc.

What are the pros and cons to this unit or what would be an alternitive unit that would benefit more for my set-up

I'm really looking to change some of the stock restrictions... so any suggestion will help

-torque-step hedders
-hedman racing hedder back exhaust

The best bet is to have your computer reprogrammed by a professional, and have all your mods accounted for. Another good option is to get a laptop program such as LS1 edit and learn how to use it and really get into it. I find hand held units do not acheive that much.

 

For the laptop program, how does that work? do you hook the laptop up straight to the car? and could you do it on a 1995 3.4l?

 

Does this also work on the fly like the newer Cortex model by Superchips?

 

pete, i thought ls1edit did mailorder stuff kinda like pcmforless. the laptop progs ive heard most about are efilive and hptuners

 

The benefit to the handheld programmers is that they can usually do a lot more than just tune the car...and it should cost less than a few hours on the dyno. Anybody know anything about or had experience with the Cortex model that jwoo mentioned?

 

ive heard some good things about it but i have to read some more reviews on superchips

 

From what I've read, the Cortex tuner is supposed to be pretty sweet for the money... more power, you can change your shift points, complete data logging, and you can recalibrate the speedometer if you're running different rims/tires/gears. I think I'm gonna ask the wife for one for my birthday... probably a[sm=badidea.gif]
