Anyone use jet dst software?

I just bought a 04 avalanche and have added gibson shorty headers, race cats, true dual exhaust with an x flow muffler, airaid cad, tranny cooler, and corvette shift servos. My problem is that i have a z06 corvette cam and valve springs and was told i would need a tune to make it work, so i bought the jet chips dynamic spectrum tuning software and the S**T wont work, any one ever use it? is it worth a crap? or should i put it on ebay? computer geeks cant even get it to run on my laptop. any help would be great, i dont even know where to start

I have used DST many times. I don't understand why you having problems installing. I have laptop with XP Pro and install was simple. Run the Jet Flash to read up the file on your PCM. Save file to HD and edit with Jet DS Tuner. There is a book you can download from the tuning section of this forum to help you understand how to use. This program has been aroung for some time. Jet bougnt it from another company and markets it now. Good luck!

I also run jet dst and have no trouble with it. You must first read your tune off your vehicle and then you can edit and make changes. I reccomend reading some before you start since your having trouble setting up. Jet is not real user friendly, must know some tuning practices to use it.

A guy came over that had Jet and wanted some pointers , looked foreign to me , no really had most of what EFILive does but like HPTuners is a little backwards .
Look like a good tuning software though .
Could not scan with it just tune .

I have the original TCII which is what DST is after is was sold to JET. I have been using my software for about 5 years and never really had any issues, John still takes care of his customers but when DST was introduced by jet I hear alot of compliants that there is no customer service from JET. I'm glad I bought mine before it was sold off to JET. John gives great customer service and is very enexpensive.

perhaps its a problem with your truck not the tuner. will a scanner comunicate with the truck?

This is my first time on one of these sites so bare with me please. I was wondering how to find this book you guys were talking about. The one that you can download to help you understand tuning better. I also have purchased the jet DST software. I have been able to read my truck into the software, edit it, and program back to truck. But I dont really know exactly what I am doing. As I would just like to advance timing. Try to get more fuel. And probably play with the shift points. I have more in store for this I6. At the moment I have a K&N cold air intake, and nos wet kit with drive by wire programmable activating module. 250 hp. shot for now. turbo in near future. Know anybody else doing anything with the 4.2 liter?
