Bite the bullet and get Edit or hold out for tunercat??? So the word is that Tunercat will be out soon... (heard this before??) I have a cam that will require tuning and a torque converter sitting in my room ready to go in and it's driving me crazy. Right now my options are: put the cam in and pay someone to tune it, buy LS1 edit, put the cam in and tune what I can then pay someone to tune it a little later, hold out on the cam and see if Tunercat really will be out at the end of the month and buy some longtubes to hold my mod craves over for a bit. If the cam doesn't go in by the end of this month, it's probably not going in for a while. I feel like if I pay $500 for ONE professional tune, I'm missing out because I could pay $550 for Edit and have all the tuning abilities at my fingertips. Plus if I have some type of tuner, I can get rid of my HPP3, which I only used to reset the speedo for the gears. That will cut $175 or so back to me, which should pay for an hour of tuning on a dyno, and hopefully if I've done enough tuning myself already, then that's all I'll need. Anyways... How about some advice from the been there done that crowd???
Re: Bite the bullet and get Edit or hold out for tunercat??? Sorry I can't help ya, but... I'm looking into buying a HPP3 (weighing pros and cons). All you did was reset the speedometer with it? Why? I may be interested in buying it from you if I decide to buy. I'll know in a week or so. Let me know what you decide and when.

Re: Bite the bullet and get Edit or hold out for tunercat??? I'll know in a week or so as well... 
I only recalibrated for the gears to begin with because I wasn't sure if I needed the 160* stat for the power tuning or not and I never got a straight answer about it (although I could have just called Hypertech..). I messed with the shift points a bit, but otherwise, it's just taking up space in my trunk. I'll let ya know first about the HPP3...

Re: Bite the bullet and get Edit or hold out for tunercat??? What about the Diablo Predator? Nice little piece, no it is not as extensive as Edit or Tunercat, but does have some live data monitoring, and more parameters to adjust over HPP, and then you can always Upload/Download thru email your tuning requirements. If it is just for a cam, bolt ons etc...but not a full out endurance/dragcar then it would be good for you.
