Think I'm going to bite the bullet and get it.

What did you buy as far as a package?

What kind of support have you been getting?

I'm computer literate so how long of a learning curve did you have?

What would you have done different now that you have lived with it a while?

Give me as much feedback as possible.
Thanks Guys!

 

basic package

big learning curve dont try and reinvent the wheel follow some of the tuning guides the rest will fall into place and over time you will see how **** works
then start reinventing the wheel and developing own tuning techniques

Took me about 4 months of constant messing to get a good grasp and Im still learning.

it never hurts to pull timing, especially when messing with fueling!!!!
use common sense if it doesnt feel right it probably isnt and read the help files they explain alot

 

i should have bought the Enhanced I/O for wideband tuning from the git-go.

 

Good feedback so far, thanks.

What would you need to do other peoples trucks if you wanted?
I know I should just go to the website.... laziness.....

 

are you gonna go with a wideband, tuning a sts is a bit more unforgiven vs n/a.

 

i would like some more info on hp please?

 

You need to buy the right applications from HP Tuners to cover the people you want to tune for.

That said... you'd be crazy to jump right in tuning another persons vehicle. Bad things can happen because of inexperience and it will be your fault. Get real comfortable with the programming of your own first. Thats the safest way. Also... never make drastic changes... always proceed with caution!

 

Team up with a friend, so that you can learn on two vehicles, or be able to tune other types. Split the cost between the two of you that way.

Learning curve was not as bad for me, turned wrenches for alot of years, just a different way of looking at it. If you have the basics of how to tune an engine, the rest of it you can learn by reading boards here or at HP Tuners website. Everyone has been very helpful at both. If you do not understand what to do in the first place, then HP Tuners is not for you. Pay to have someone tune yours for you.

I got the basic program and it has been a blast for me, my signature shows what else I have done to my truck, and HP Tuners has allowed me to change my computer at will without waiting for results. If you need more info drop me a line and I will try to answer you quick as I can.

 

what type of info are you looking for?

 

I would never touch anyone elses vehicle unless I was absolutely sure I knew what I was doing first. My plan was to possibly go in on it with a friend and go through the learning curve with someone to help absorb some of the costs.
Plus two people with two different perspectives can help when trading experience and ideas.
I never set my self up for a bullshit storm!!
