It takes credits only once for your truck, it doesn't take credits when you change the tune, it takes time to get used too am not 100% sure of everything because am new to this two but am doing my best and the truck is running hope that helps.

Correct, once you license your pcm once you can tune it over and over again without ever having to use another credit on it...most pcm's will last for thousands upon thousands of flashes!

$499 for the Standard Version
$649 for the Pro Version, which inlcudes stand alone logging and Ehance Input/Outputs for logging such items as a wideband.

With both you get 8 credits to use as you see fit. So for you case, you would use 2 credits for your truck and 2 credits for your Father's street rod. That leaves you with 4 credits to use for enabling RTT on both vehicles, or using the 4 credits for two more vehicles, or 2 credits for 2-BAR OS (in case one or both of you want to add boost). Many possiblities.

RTT = Real Time Tuning

No extra hardware required, and it is very powerful when you want to make changes on the fly to tune either the fuel maps, idle control, or knock and Stock O2 switch points.

I always recommend the Pro version, due to the added features (stand alone logging and Ehanced I/O).
