Which one? I have no idea what section to put this in so hopefully this is an appropriate place. I have around $650 right now and planned on getting a LS6 intake with a couple other little things. Last night before I went to sleep, I was doing some thinking and realized that I now have enough for HP Tuners. I would be purchasing the MPVI Pro version and now I have a few questions about it.

you'll definitly want a laptop no matter what tuning software you purchase...otherwise you better have a desktop in your garage. The MPVI pro can log a wideband through the external inputs and will display the readings in real time & on playback. As far as ls6 intake vs. hptuners I would pick hptuners everytime...unlike many modifications you'll almost never outgrow tuning software whereas you might outgrow an intake, or heads, or a cam or gears, etc. Tuning software grows with you instead of you growing out of it. And with 3 of the top 4 posters on their forum being the owners you'll usually get a direct answer from the horses mouth.
I purchased mine new from best buy for $449 but I see deals on decent ones from dell & bestbuy for $399 & up...ebay is ok, but for an extra $150 you can buy new so Im starting to like that route more.

You just take the BB from your car to your desktop PC and vice-versa...
You log from car to BB, or read flash from car to BB, or write flash from BB to car,
and use desktop to view logs from BB and to view/alter tunes from/to BB.
You will be able to store many logs and tunes on the BB.
No need to lug around a laptop.
It's in the pipeline.

While i would have to disagree I have used several dells and never had a problem. That is my personal preference for laptops. Just like tuning packages, everyone has their own preference.
