ls1 edit? hypertech? predator?
what does the ls1 edit do that a predator, etc can't do?
i'm confused on how they differ. i'd like to have something i could plug in to show me codes,tune it and make it shift firmer etc.
how much can you expect to gain performance wise? do you have to reset everything if you make a mod?
thanks,
doug

I had my 2000 A4 coupe dynotuned with LS-1 Edit by the Vette Docs early this year and i can tell you, It is the best $299 I ever spent. I picked up 18 rwhp and 27 rwtq from jut the edit. But forget the numbers.... the difference in sotp feel was incredible. I cant wait to mount my headers so i can get it done again and feel that incredible boost

You might get some decent responses in the Scan and Tune section. Also, there is a new kid on the block regarding logging and changing your PCM, do a search for VCM Suite...
This is what I plan on buying very shortly!

To My mind, the best bang for the buck.

As it was explained to me they will put it on the dyno for the afternoon and can do as many as 15 dyno pulls as they tune the PCM. They specifically said it was not called LS1 Edit. I've heard extremely good things about this organization. With the basic bolt on mods that I've got (BW/Drilled Fog Lite Ducts, soon to be LG Pro LT's w/ no cats, and GHL), I've been told I could see 30 or more rwhp out of the program as I started out bone stock and have 33k miles at this point.
But they're quoting me $500-550 for the day depending on how many dyno pulls it takes to max it out.
Any thoughts? I guess I'm just as confused. Especially w/ the $299 thing.
Thanx.

Good luck also I would get a clearer picture from Dynotech on what they will do. sounds like it might be an LS-1 Edit, But then again, It sounds like it might not be

Not to jump on your post but I'm still interested in people who have used the hypertech and or the predator. I don't believe they could be that much different. Please, I want to make a conscious decision, so I need as much imput as I can about all three products.
So for the originator of this thread and many others that might have the same issue.........Thanks in advance,
