I want to buy a tuner. I have my stock PCM and a Nelson PCM. I just wanted to use the stock one to play with some figures. What is the best tuner to buy and why?

 

from what i hear they all suck, if you want a tune get a dyno tune.

 

Their no one nearby that is reliable anyway. I have one from Nelson's but I was wanting to play around with my stock unit.

 

If it helps you out im gonna get the HPTuners pro. It seems as though it is more user friendly and easier to navagate. With the pro edition yoou have a black box to scan data so you dont need a laptop for scanning all the time(at least i think thats how it works). It also seems that there is a lot of support(not only on this site but on others) for HPTuners.
I have the same problem in my area-no good tuners around-not even a dyno that i know of. Hope this helps.

 

nelson tune is a great tune

 

i would get a tuning program and learn to tune the truck yourself and not worry about a tuner. for the price of a brand new tuner you could almost buy the tuning program but you will need a laptop to go with it.

 

Thats what i've been planning on. Already got the laptop for college-and a superchips for a "base" tune.

 

once i get the money i get myself a laptop and hptuners. i want to try and tune my truck myself. i think it will help me better understand how my truck works, machanically and electronically.

 

I would like to do the same I am just unsure what would be the best program? All I really know of is LS1 edit.
