Are 98 and 99-02 LS1's compatible

[theblur98ss]

A buddy an I are getting ready to get HP tuners and we want to make sure it will work for us. He has an 01SS and I have a 98SS. If we buy the professional version would we each just use 2 of the 8 credits? Is everything compatible with both cars? Thanks a bunch. I'm sure this won't be my last post here. Can't wait to start tuning.

yes & yes...just do pcm locks and you'll have several credits to spare.

Could you elaborate just a little on dong the PCM lock...Does that affect the amount of credits used
Thanks

[Bill@HPTuners]

yes it does, dramatically, here's the list of our supported vehicles & how the credit structure breaks down http://www.hptuners.com/products/vcmsuite_vehicles.php

remember you get 8 credits with your initial purchase, so if you do two pcm locked licenses that leaves you with 4 credits left to save or use whenever you'd like.

dont confuse PCM lock with PCM liscense...
locking the PCM doesnt change anything


basically if you want to lisense only your vehilce you can do it for less credits than if you wanted to lisence it as a year/model unlimited

example being your 1 vehicle and your buddys 1 vehicle
2 vehicles total
4 credits
however you could choose to liscens it so that you can tune every 98 fbody and that costs 6 credits
and you could also liscene it so you could tune every 01 fbody and thats another 6 credits..

If you feel like you can help some other locals out with a little bit of tuning then you might consider buying the full year/model liscense instead of the individual vehicle license

sorry, don't mind me Scott...when I say pcm lock Im referring to the license since technically its licensed to that pcm and that pcm only. Scott is correct with the licensing, sorry if I confused anyone.
