Oh oh.....



Ok, there are handhelds and there are 'real' tuners like HPTuners and EFILive.

Both HPT and EFI will require some learning, but both are truely worlds better than any handheld.

Other options are mail order tunes where a PCM is mailed to you and you swap it out or Dyno tuning if available.

Please don't even ask if you should get a hypertech, superchips or predator. You will be laughed off the board.

Get a mailorder tune. Search for wait4me or nelson performance. It seems since you know nothing(not making fun, just a fact) that a wait4me mailorder 93 octane tune would serve you best. It costs 158.10 and you get a completely new computer. It's definantly worth it. I loved mine when I had it.

I use HP Tuners and I love it. It's not for everybody though. If you think that you would like to do tuning yourself, you probably will. You can start an all-out brawl just by asking is HP Tuners of EFI Live is better, not to mention handhelds and mail orders.

HP Tuners is all I know, but I hear a lot of good things about the mail order sponsors, and a lot of bad things about the handhelds. You can get a mail order tune and have it changed several times for what it would cost for a handheld.

Whichever you decide, have fun!!!!
