Exclamation Needing some getting started help with HPT

So when I'm tuning the VE and with the LTFT's disabled. In the scanner I open the histogram, go under STFT. I have a lot of numbers here. Do I just need to copy and paste these numbers to my VE table or copy and paste special multiply by %. I have tried reading and searching on here and on HPT's forum. Some people say one way others say the other way. No one says specifically. Just trying to get everything cleared up. I really thinking about getting "The Tuning School for Beginners." I really just want to buy the advance course and find the beginners book somewhere else cheaper. Anyone have any ideas that they would share with me. I am still a newb in the tuning world. Anyone have the beginners book and would like to sell it to me?

I just added that number to whatever I had in that column before..... IE. in stft histogram at 2800 rpm you see -2 Then in my VE table I subtract 2 from that same location and make sure the curve blends together... I.m still working on my MAF table... BIOTCH!!

So could I just copy and paste from my scanned file to the editing file? Or do you just add them one at a time?

Do you use copy and paste or add them individually?

Bump! I'm wondering this too, and the HPT site is kinda dead, and people don't seem to want to answer direct questions as much as they want to describe the broad theory of tuning.

The easiest way is to copy the whole table and apply it to the whole table, usually a good idea to do paste special - 1/2 so you dont over or undershoot and ur tuning for weeks in a circle (ur numbers are gonna change day to day)

Dont forget to rest the fuel trims after each log.

yes, this is VERY important... hope you have been doing this already, otherwise you've already been tuning in circles for quite some time... lol
