Default 96 computer upgrade?

I've got a friend with a 96 C4 and we're doing a LT4 upgrade heads,cam etc (LT4 Hot Cam and LT4 heads with intake). Do they make some time of edit program ( like Edit LS1) or do we go with a Ed Wright Fast Chips upgrade? Any info regarding computer upgrade would be graetly appreciated!

There would be an Lt1 edit available, not sure the sources of getting it, i have a 96 Lt1, a4 i went with hypertechs power programmer 3, i have had people tell me before that you loose hp with this computer mod, but i gained .2 tenths at the track consistantly with just that mod.

Thanks! That may be a generalized upgrade I'm not sure if it's directed towards the LT4 upgrade especially the cam since it's different than the stock LT4 cam. Thanks agian! We may go to a dyno run the car and check A/F ratio and see how far off we are!

it'll run with the stock LT1 program, but for it to idle and have manners you'll need a tune. You can use someone like www.pcmforless.com, he'll be able to get you running with a "mail order" tune.

If you don't get the LT1 Edit (do a search to find website) you will have to send your ECM off to be reprogramed. Those Hypertech Programmers won't work for what you want to do.
