	Unichip tuners, performance chip tuning, conversions
		Non-franchised workshops and in some cases authorised tuners are not able to cure or troubleshoot a fault simply because the system used in the modern motor vehicle has become so advanced.
		Once the new unit is in place, it can be programmed to suit any specific need, for instance if a change was made to the engine one could calibrate the entire control unit to match the engine.
		A good example of "tuning to suit specific needs" is the ability to tune any vehicle to achieve the best possible fuel consumption while driving with light throttle and being able to obtain maximum air performance under full throttle conditions, where fuel consumption should not be an issue.

	Tuning the LT1
		There is no VIN or individual PCM restriction, so you can tune multiple cars and/or PCMs without having to pay any additional fees, compared to LT1_Edit, which is more for the base program ($200), optional scanner ($50), and each additional PCM ($50 or so).
		When tuning an LT1 PCM, one of the first things to do is remove the basic annoyances, such as CAGS (skip-shift), and change the fan settings to keep the car running cooler.
		Now that you've done a good amount tuning, you are ready to take the car to a dyno for more intensive power increase.
