They all use exactly the same tunes. Buy whichever one you want.

there isn't one available for your car... 1998's are not supported...

GM support is for 1999 and newer vehicles...

Really? That seems stupid. GM changed the PCM the year after they added the LS1?

Thats retarded. Its like the shit Ford does; Release a brand new car one year, with an old engine and trans, then give it a new engine and trans the next year.

2010 Mustang, and 2010 Raptor. Both released with shitty drivetrains (4.0/4.6 and 5.4). 2011 they give them the 3.7/5.0 and 6.2. Couldn't wait a year for the refresh/release? Chrysler did the same thing with the Pentastar and now the 8 speed. All they're doing is pissing off the poor saps who got stuck with the old garbage.

Yeah, IMO, anyone who bought a 2010 Mustang GT got the royal screw :)
