I think so, I still dont even know how to use all the features. It's a $700 scan reader/clearer for me right now. My first editing will be when I change the gears to 3.42 and update the PCM to reflect the hear change.
It is the pro model and does have a module on the cable that does some real time logging (I think).

Are you doing it just cause of preference?

It logs the info as well, depending on which feature you're running. If you're SES was on, it would do a scan of the codes, than show them to you. And than of course the realtime feature.
I read this and it made me curious. Why do you need to mess with pcm for a gear change to 3:42's? I changed from 2:73's to 3:42's and didnt have to do anything to my pcm and it runs fun.

Does it? Cause it must be pretty minor. 3:42's not THAT big of a gear. My speed and rpm remained about the same that it always was. The only obvious change was what I expected, bottom end acceleration.
Now with 3:73's or 4:11's I know you'd have to reprogram, but 3:42's???

True. I'll have to look into it.
Yup, plus it gets my feet wet in regards to learing how to use the HPT Editor.

my scanner can log up to 15 1 minute sessions per vehicle. it works damn good bro.

I gota be honest, didn't think it was neccessary for such a small change in ratio. I always looked at 3:42's as the last ratio to go to before it was times to start tweaking pcm. But hey you learn something new everyday.
That's pretty helpful, kinda gives you a visual of what's goin on. Gona bookmark that sight.

Right now I cruise the fwy in the SS at 80mph @ 2-2500 RPM, jumping up to 3.73 I lose about 10mph
