Only get HP-turner if you plan on using it for many times, its not worth the price for a 1-2 time use.

I am concidering HP tuners so I can Tune as I go... that way I can re-tune after each mod... and if there is anybody in my area I'd be willing to work out tuning for them aswell..

Kinda hard to get to know more about the software without actualy getting it.... and I could be wrong but I think whats the point of the mods if I can't tune the car to use them properly.. JMO

It sounds like you already made up your mind. I think that HPT is a much better investment. There is so much more you can do.

HP tuners would be a better investment between the two.

You can run more aggressive fuel and timing curves. That will give you a gain in hp right there alone. Remember gauges are important as well!
