Reprogramming for 3:42 gears
I'm thinking about switching the 3:15's for some 3:42's on my 98. A lot of people have suggested the LS1 edit to reprogram for the change. I honestly know nothing about the LS1 edit. I have heard good and bad things about the TTS Power Loader II. What do you all think? Maybe someone can explain how the LS1 edit works or give my some other options. Will the car have problems without reprogramming?

if your not needing fine detail type tuning, then you can buy a handhelp programmer that is easy to use.
"Predator" is one such device.

Mike, you need to get some 3.73's. You were right in one of your past
posts, were you were thinking maybe you should change to 3.73.
The gears are great and pull hard all the way up. Every shift is in the
power band. :D

Re: Reprogramming for 3:42 gears (TXSTICK)
I have ridden in and drove both a car with SY3500 and 3.42's and a car with SY3500 and 3.73's. The 3.73's will put you back much harder, and the pull up thru the gears is fantastic. The main problem is cost. I have a set up 3.42 gears and a SY3500 sitting in the garage if anyone is interested.
