HPTuners does just the same as EDIT. It reads what's on the PCM and interprets that into something you can understand (what you see in the tables). What's on the PCM will not change formats rather it's from EDIT or HPT.

Did that answer your question?

I understand that it reads and interprets the data. My concern is if the pcm is tuned with ls1 edit and then you use hptuners to tune again will this cause a problem.

No. The only thing that is different from the 2 is how the program arranges the info it reads on the PCM (ie tables). It simply is a different format in which to make the changes.

Does anybody know what kind of horsepower gains people are seeing with a stock 6.0 or 5.3? What I mean by stock is exhaust and bolt on's but stock internals.

What Green said. HPT reads the same info EDIT does and it puts the data back in the same form EDIT does and vice versa. However, you can't read EDIT files with HPTuners software. HPT doesn't recognize a file that was made with EDIT even though they contain the same data.

Straight forward ... you won't have any problems with what you're asking about. Howver, if you ARE doing a email tune and the tuner is using EDIT, you can't use HPT to upload the file that was made with EDIT.

That answers my question. Thanks Greentahoe and Flyer. I read somewhere they were not compatible, and they would mess the pcm up if you tried to use one and then the other. Thats good news.

That's not at all the case. Sorry I didn't get a good answer the first time.
