However TunerCat will be releasing their version of the 96/97 OBD2 LT1 editing tool soon as well. If you can wait it will save you some $$$

It's nice to own a 96 because it's newer, however we're screwed when it comes to programming right now. Either buy LT1 edit for major $$$ or get a Hypertech programmer for a bit less but with limited functions.
Right now this cost factor is one of the main reasons my 96 LT4 is staying stock. Maybe when Tunercat perfects their system for OBDII I'll buy that if it's any cheaper than LT1 edit. I can't see spending four or five hundred for a cable and some software. On the other hand if I convert to a 95 compatible OBDI computer, the cost of the computer and everything that goes with changing, programming it will be about the same money.
It's a catch 22

TunerCat is a lot cheaper. I have been beta testing his OBD2 stuff for everything but the earlier OBD2 LT1 cars. It works as well as any other tuner out there and costs a lot less. Plus you can always add a PCM defintion the base TC program at anytime if you wish to tune something else. For a mere cost of $79 you can add another definition. Try that with the others and you will find that it will cost you hundreds more. OBD2 LT1 should be out very soon, TC is working on it now, I suspect within the next 30 days.
