Default Edit or HP Tuners for me?

ill be running a forged 347 w/ either a T70 or T76 and going for 500Rw through a th400

I know there is a guy locally that can do a speed density tune through edit is there any way of doing that w/ HP Tuners? If I just run it through the MAF which one should I go with?

Thanks

Check out http://www.hptuners.com

"Keith's Tuner Car goes 120.5 MPH in the 1/4 mile. A naturally aspirated all motor stock cubed LS1 with stock heads and cam and custom HP Tuners Speed Density Tuning."

I dont see any reason for anybody to purchase edit anymore. HP Tuners is hands down a better deal, you get much better support, and upgrades are happening all the time. Fact is HP Tuners cares about its customers.

I've used LS1Edit extensively for shop tuning and I just purchased HP Tuners. HP Tuners is a much better package all around. LS1Edit is great if you want a crappy interface, long downloads from the PCM, and very poor customer service.

^^^ what they said

HP Tuners is just a better product... and it comes w/a scanner ... w/edit you need to have autotap, efi live, etc... to scan the car after you make changes... w/tuner it's all in 1

Are many tuners (specifically sponsors) using HPtuners when they do dyno tunes? It seems a lot still advertise Edit but what if I wanted them to tune my car on HP so I could have the software to make changes also, would they tune from my laptop on their dyno?
