Default Which kind of tuning software/hardware to get?

I just installed a cam in my 4.8 (Comp 212/218 .522/.529 114) in my 4.8 truck and was wondering the pros/cons of the different tuners that are available.

I currently have a HPPIII, and it was fine for what I had, but not for where I'm planning on going!

I'm leaning towards getting a Diablo Predator tuner over EDIT because I don't have a laptop. My question is would it be worth the extra money to get EDIT over a Predator? My plans include:

*converter
*gears
*longtubes
*cam (already installed)

Will I need the extra flexibility that EDIT offers, or will the Predator take care of my very basic tuning needs?

I would go ahead and spend the extra $$ for edit.
If you decide you want to go futher you will have edit
Just remember its never realy fast enough
I got a used laptop for $500 usedlaptops.com and
edit was $550 then $300 a-tap V2.04 $1350 total
seems like alot but I will never have to pay for
tuning, its cheaper in the end.
well if you go with predator and talk to james ( look for him or pm me) you will not regeit. he gives life time service with the sale. and will do custom tunes for any changes you do. and you can get it for the 400ish tune instead of hte 1300ish one.
