i also think i would go hp tuners. but if you can grab a used ls6 real cheap its never a bad idea. but a new bbk vs. tuning software, i would go for the software that way you have more time with it so when you put that intake on you know how to adjust for it.

Hpt, then a wideband when you can. You'll be able to adjust for any mod you ever get. Plus once you learn the software, you can recoup some money doing other cars. You also can do other cars you might purchase in the future. jmo

I hope you didn't remove the front O2's when you did your exhaust. The rear O2's are what people typically ditch when going with an ORY/X and that trips the light. The front O2's are a MUST unless you're running an open loop tune. I doubt you are but who knows. As for your original question it definitely depends on your goals. I had HPTuners on my last car and spent many hours playing with it and tuning it on the street with my wideband. It's not a requirement to have a wideband but tuning is MUCH more accurate with one. If you don't plan to ever go any further than bolt-ons then I would not get the tuning software. You can get a mail-order tune for bolt-ons for like $200. Now if you're going to cam or H/C in the future I would go with the software.
. also you can prolly find and intake on there
