Default Another beginner tuning ?

I have searched and after hours of reading posts back to 04, visiting mfg. web sites, and still have some questions since much has changed lately with EFI and HPT.

I will have to tune a 03 gmc for cam, gears, converter.
I would like to tune in the future my 95 LT1 but I know no one makes a product to work with both!

I just want it right and driveable with a big cam.

I feel that both EFI and HPT will work for me..so

Should I
1. Buy HPT and tune the LTFT with no wideband O2?
2. Invest in a wide band O2 and tune with either EFI or HPT?
3. BuY EFI and invest in a O2 and Roadrunner and use the RTACS?
4. mailorder tune from Thunder racing

From what I have read so far 1 will be the most affordable but will take the longest, and 3 will be the most expensive and the easiest!

feed back please?

HPT gives you real time tuning with the included credits that come with it!!! with a stock PCM, no need for a roadrunner.

ANd yes, use a wideband. You CANNOT tune WOT with trims.

One thing is sure so far.
