Thanks

i got tired of waiting for tunercats to come out with the obdII version and wasn't going to pay for the lt1 edit so i switched. tunercats had an obdII released for a short time then sold the rights.

yeah its been a while back. i kept emiling them and they kept sayin anyday now and that turned into almost a year so i switched. they ended up making and selling a few then sold the rights to hypertech i think or someone like that.

They sold the rights to JET... Who bundled it into their new(ish) dynamic spectrum tuner. Its actually a nice package that can datalog as well.

I cant tell you how nice it is to be able to datalog and then make changes without switching between programs. Only thing lacking is RTT :secret:

FWIW, EFI live can handle OBD2 LT1 cars as well. But it cannot log some of the parameters that are nice to have.

$500 is a lil hard to bite for jet's package....

with Efi and hptuners you can do WOT tuning on lt1 cars but thats about it. its very limited.

I just got this package... looks like a rebadged Tunercats (which I had used for my old 95Z... and I liked it). Once I get the OBD 2 port working I should be in good shape.

The nice part about Jet/Tunercats is that you aren't vin locked to one vehicle like LT1 Edit, you get for 4 licenses to use.........any more than 4 vehicles and you need to order additional licenses..

I was just about to start a thread for this same topic, glad you beat me to it! So EFI Live will work on an LT1. I will be going with a mail order from Madz28 for a cammmed/full bolt on car, but I wanted to look into software to build on Ion's tune. Who else has any suggestions for OBD2?

i have the Jet DST software and so far i like it, fairly straight forward to use, but i haven't figured out the datalogging. don't even know where to access it.

Pretty sure jet does not have a data logger built in, but the ecm pro from westersgarage will work with it. Atleast the guys from tunercat told me this.
