Any good results from the New HP Tuner editing software?

Nothing quantitative, but I've been using it to
get my automatic shifting like a sports car and
tweaking up the spark & open loop / PE fueling
by "feel". It's solid. I know on their discussion
board there is at least one guy who's gone and
dynoed before/after. But the key there is not the
software (as long as it's got the access you
need, which it does) but in knowing what to
mess with and how much. That's got me going
slowly in the fuel map tuning especially.

Like anything else it's just another tool. You have to know how to use it. It seems most everything is there. Like jimmyblue said a lot of info is on this tool and it takes time to figure everything out.

I've had a couple of PC communication issues but the company seems to be pretty responsive to problems you have.

thanks for the info. Still cant decide whether to go with the high priced ls1edit, or go with the hp tuners editing software.

I have used both, although I've only had 24 hours to play with the HP Tuners so far. My initial impression is that HP Tuners has many advantages over LS1 Edit. The flash is considerably faster, much more reliable, and it also has a scanner. The scanner isn't quite up to par with Autotap, yet - but it has all of the basic functions. The customer service at Carputing (LS1 Edit) is terrible!! With future software updates, I honestly believe HP Tuners will make LS1 Edit totally obsolete.
