Re: LS1 EDIT?
Kinda like the Hypetech Programmer but quite a bit more versatile. It is a bit complicated but once you use it a while its easy. The program runs on a laptop instead of a standalone hand-held programmer like the HPP3. Its not really cheap either.

For a single vin locked cable it is $550 and that includes the software.
It lets you change everything the other programmers do and stuff you'll probably never fool with.
You'll also need a laptop to use it or I guess a desktop would work if you had it in the garage or something.
It is not nearly as easy as plugging in a programmer like a HPP3 or Predator but, it is manageable with a little guidance from people who haved used it.

Re: LS1 EDIT?
Personally I would not get a predator and DEFINITELTY go with LS1edit. I fried and completely destroyed my 2003 GMC's ECU/PCM using a custom file from my predator (which was sent to me by Diablosports tech people!)
I was without transportation for a week while the dealer waited for the part, which was luckily covered under warranty. Anyway unless you want to risk frying your computer DONT get a predator.

like others have said, hpp3 or one of the other programers for a bolt on truck or edit for bigger projects like blower or heads and cam.

Re: LS1 EDIT?
Im sure thats possible BUT my main point is that a custom written tune from Diablosport CAN fry your trucks ECU. THats exactly what destroyed mine.
I had been using my diablo for a few months with NO problems and I really liked it. Then I got a custom file from diablo that somehow was corrupted! After attempting to install it on my truck the problems began.
I just think relying on someone else to tune your engine through the internet/email is a risky proposition. One that can be avoided with LS1edit.
The predator also is very limited as far as programming goes.
