    LS1 computer re-learning question

    Hey ppls, Heres a stupid question, I realise the re-learning LS1 computer, but lets say one does the LS1 edit and gets 280fwkw - if more mods are done to it AFTER the edit, does the computer re-learn or slowly goes back to its edited form (280fwkw)?? DOes that question make sense? peace

    Springs and ride quality

    It might be best to get your original springs 'reset' or compressed. I had it done on my very old alfa 90 abd it wasnt that bad a ride. It was just ok. You 'CAN' tell that you have done something to the suspension, but i think its not that bad...plus...you will eventually get used to it! peace
