Why not do it yourself, much funnier, start with giving it more timing for the cam, adjust fuel trims, and work with the trans shift points for starters

I downloaded efi live....and read what to change for injectors/cam/heads....looks like a pain (probably seem easier when I actually had it hooked up to vehicle)
If tuning was simple anyone could do it. :lol:

I am kinda leaning towards just buying a data logging software, having him do a tune, sending him a data file, and waiting the week for him to get it back to me.
REALLY can't justifty the 500 for hptuners just to load his email tune...I'll never use it after that. After this lil spurt, the truck is done for a LONG TIME

Theres the basic version but you need to have a laptop to data log otherwise the $500 Pro version is worth the investment man. It looks like your spending alot but in all seriousness having HPT at your disposal for data logging, code clearing, and tune updating is worth every penny. Best bang for buck mod you will ever get.
You could always try jets DST tuner, you can download the software first and play around with it until you feel confident with it to tune with.Quote:

Purchase the software and do it yourself. This is the solution for any motivated person who has a little time and wants the best results. Mail order simply is hit or miss in my experience. And especially with the mods you have planned, the AFR and timing needs to be good throughout the powerband so that you have a vehicle that drives like stock, with no stalling. I use EFI live myself and it is really user friendly, and there is a lot of support online for beginners.
I forgot to add, a wideband sensor (AFR gauge) is also pretty critical if you're tuning a cam. If you're using a common cam though, a mail order tuner may likely have a tune on file already that would be pretty good.
