Best Tuning Editor to buy?

I was wondering what editor is the best to use for tuning our cars, IE Tunercat or WINBIN or ??? I prefer something windows based. I took a look at Tunercat, and I like it so far. The price ain't bad either, since I paid over 300 for my scan tool!!!

My ride is a MAF car if it matters. I want to buy an editor soon since I have everything else.

Thanks for any opinions.

GMEPRO is DOS based but I understand it to have more tables for the eprom you use defined. But TunerCat is constantly updating, so they will probably get those other tables defined later.

Alternatively, you can look at getting TDF Editor which allows you to modify the TDF to define tables that are not already in the TDF. This will allow you to use the "hacks" directly for defining more tables.

I just got the TDF Editor myself and give feedback on it later. Inspite of the 8D.TDF being one of the best TDFs for TunerCat, there are still tables that it has not defined and you can disable/enable more bit "switches" than defined by TunerCat.

Lastly, most people recommend upgrading to the 6E eprom/TDF. You have to disable the 9th injector, but it supposedly works better and has more tables defined. Do a search on "6E" on this board as there are already posts on this very subject. I cannot say from personal experience as I have an SD TPI.
