I would get a cable and a program for the laptop if you plan on doing any future modding. It's fairly cheap to have a custom tune written and emailed to you. Plus you have the advantage of datalogging that can save you plenty of money in the long run.

Thanks for the update on the data. Been using a laptop for sometime now. Built all the interface boxes and installed my own connectors for easy hookups. Have a couple of free programs to monitor the data. Have not used any programs to make changes or flash the chip.
I also have a Tech1 A which is also a nice tool and was just thinking of adding another programming tool to my collection. Before I go making changes to engine operation, I need to come up to speed so I know more about what I am doing.

I use datamaster TTS for data logging and TunerCat for programming. The hypertech is extremely limited and a waste of money compared to what Tunercat can do. Both have trial versions on their website. For Tunercat you will need to purchase the definition file for about $10 or so to run the trail. Datamaster is great for logging and leaves almost nothing out. I've been hesitant to make changes myself which is why I went to PCMFORLESS for the tune. Once I stroke it and get it on a dyno then I may mess with it some myself and try to learn more.
