I Have had Hptuner for about a 2 week's now, and I love it. I never used a tuning program before, but HPT works very well and is easy to use.

It took me about 15 minutes to download my stock program, delete the 2 rear o2's, delete egr, and delete air pump, change shift points and upload it back to the car

pesky check engine light is gone, and now I am researching to do do even more tuning, its very easy to use and the help files along with their website has a wealth of information, It's a great tool

Unless you are wanting to tune your car to run without front o2 sensors you will still need to keep these sensors functioning. You can do away with the rear ones, and take care of their corresponding codes via HP Tuners though(Rather than buying sims). You need the front o2's to make the car run correctly though. You can also make your own o2 extensions for the front if you dont feel like buying any. Search around and Im sure you'll find info on it.

you will still need o2 extensions though to plug in your two 02 sensors on your longtubes.
