Thinking of buying it. I emailed Ken Kelly just yesterday and he said they are good to go on 06. On 07, the ECM side is complete. Some tranny changes for 07 though, so TCM/TBSS will be updated when the editor is complete.

I met Ken in person on Monday when I drove my ECU 130 miles to him so it could be unlocked from the LS2 Edit program. He is a great guy and responded to my emails instantly when I told him I would be switching to a new engine management system with the addition of my twin turbo kit. Just make sure if they are still "locking" your ECU when reflashed with the LS2 Edit... It can be a HUGE pain in the neck in the future if not...

If you bought the EASE 5.1 version then I would suggest LS2 Edit. I also know a very good tuner that can tune your car with the EASE recordings and you can load the tune with your copy of LS2 Edit.

I have the beta version of EASE and my own copy of LS2 Edit. I am very happy with the results.

Get HPtuners and it comes with the best scan tool I have ever seen. I had LS1edit for my c5 and gave it away. HPtuners is hands down the best software. No frozen PCM's. No incompatability with other platforms.

Just remember, if you want to ever use any other software besides LS2 edit down the line, it is gonna cost you to take out the computer and unlock the ECU...

As for the above posts, I now have HPtuners as well!

All that you need to unlock the ECM is your stock file and a licensed copy of LS2 EDIT.

Yes, and if you don't have one and let's say you car is at a shop being worked on and is not capable of driving because it needs to be tuned, you have two choices;

A. Pay to have the car flatbeded to a place that tunes with LS2 Edit (in my case ~100 miles)

B. Remove the ECU and get it to a place that can bench tune the ECU (no where I know of other than Ken himself)

Basically two choices that will cost an unnecessary waist of time and money.
