Default Easy to use tuning software?

What is the easiest beginner tuning software besides a hand held device? I want to tune mine myself, because last time someone tuned it they spun three rod bearings. So if it breaks, I wanna be the one responsible.

Might want to check the sticky on the 'best tuning software'. My opinion is that you have two choices: EFILive and HPTuners. I personally rank them the highest. You can get plenty of support here or on their respective forums. I rank LS1Edit and TunerCat distant, distant options. None of these are in any order. You will have to make your own decision about your own capabilities. You should definitely check out the tuning forums that support the respective products.

FYI, they each give you enough power to fubar your engine. Read, learn, make small changes, scan, evaluate, read, learn, ...
