I'm not sure where to get Edit. I think it's a place called "carputing" or something?

Here is HPTuners: http://www.hptuners.com It'll come with everything you'll really need for general tuning. You'll want to upgrade to the wideband ability if you want to accurately setup WOT fueling...

I've been around countless LS1 fbody and C5 cam installs.....do you all have any tips for the install in the truck? As far as getting the radiator and all that type stuff out...just any off the wall tips you all might have, I'd appreciate.

I didn't have to pull the radiator... I left everything but the lower radiator hose connected and raised it enough to get the cam out. I used a 4x4 block of wood to prop up the passenger side, and an empty gallon jug of windshield washer fluid on the drivers side.

Don't mind my mess here, but this is what the radiator will look like pulled up. You can see I even got away with leaving my fans connected. (my wiring is all tucked away an hidden, I didn't want to cut/splice the wires, and I couldn't find suitable [power rating wise] connectors)

When you use the water pump bolts to help pull the cam out of the block, remove them when the cam is about halfway out. They'll contact the AC condensor and stop you from getting the cam out. The AC condensor stays in place during the truck swap.

Other than that, everything is real straight forward.
