LS1-Edit is a piece of software that is used to make changes to your cars computer (PCM). HPTuners is another program that does the same thing.

If you're looking to get into the scanning and tuning side of Corvette ownership, then you might as well do it right the first time and ditch LS1-Edit and get a far more advanced (and easier to use) package like EFILive.

Check out their website: http://www.efilive.com

As others have said, it is a software-based tuning tool for your LS1/LS6 engine's computer (PCM). For further info, visit the website of Carputing, the manufacturer.

Its a limited function, overpriced piece of software that at one time had a lock on the LS1 tuning market and gouged its users for premium dollr while never expaning its functionality. Check out HPTuners software...
