Default HP Tuner ?'s

those that may have it.. is this just like edit? Whats the pluses and minuses for this? Im looking for something to edit a 04 Silverado with and with edit you have to buy some gay cable thats 125 bucks from speartech, take out the pcm, edit on the table, then put back into the truck. I hope the hp tuners would plug right in?

hoping I can find a local to go in and get the 2 for 1 deal

i know how to use edit since i have ls1edit, but im new to hp tuners though. Im guessing you plug up, read the stock file? Then open in a editer.. save changes, then porgram back into the truck?

If you want to try it, let me know. I'm in Sterling during the week, and sometimes on the weekends. I'm not that computer savy, and would love to work with someone in using it. I have an 04 GMC, so it would work. I'm having trouble getting my pc card adapter working, right now. Let me know, and we can get together to experiment.

It plugs in with no cables needed? How do you plug into something without a cable?

I was being sarcastic. We both know this...but someone who knows nothing about this may not. Damn, think about it...
