Okay, I'm read to jump into tuning headfirst. I'd love to be able to do all my tuning on my own, with the help of this forum or course. What all do i need to get going? (I have a 2002 C5 MN6 Coupe)
- Laptop with 9 Pin Serial Port: Can I Get USB-Only? It seems the problems all lie in the QUALITY of the serial-to-USB adaptor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but not needeing a serial will make my laptop shopping easier. Also, what do you use? I prefer a 40gb+ with wireless internet laptop just so I can use it elsewhere.
- HP Tuners: It seems this is the new rage, and I see why. Beyond having a larger support base, is there ANY reason to buy LS1Edit now?
- Laptop Mount: Any preferences? I know this isn't mandatory.
- Wideband O2: This is my biggest question right now. It seems that having one which could record data with rpms would be a tremendous tuning tool. Are there any that can log to your laptop? I'd prefer one that a digital display into an A-Pillar gague.

In order.
I just bought a new laptop and tried using the USb to 9-pin serial and it would download the file from the PCM, but not allow me to reprogramme!
Bought a PCMCIA RS-232 card and that works fine.
I bought LS1-Edit, as recommended by the supplier of my Twin Turbo kit. Turn out that the supplier didn't have an LS1 Edit file for me to load, so buying the software was largely a waste of time.
