damm nice..goodluck..

I need to learn to tune and steal all Allen's customers. ;)

How hard is it to do your own tunes? I've always wanted to learn how to do tuning

Lots of reading.

Trust me... the first time you open HPT you'll want to kill yourself. It helps knowing some guys that are pretty good at it.

I've had it for a solid 8 months, redone by truck a bajillion times. There's times I still want to put a stock file in it, run over my laptop and just give away my cable. Then drink heavily.

:pow:
Thanks David. Ass :lol:

Cool.

first order of buisness you need to know the basics of a motor
next you need to know youre way around basic knowledge of AFR and timing
then you need to know about shift points and pressures
also need to know basics of vaccum

you also need to know how to use a computer somewhat lol

if you have a clue about these and you have years to devote to it then it is the best purchase you can do. you dont buy the software and become a TUNER in a month. it takes time and theres always new tricks or things you learn

And it really helps to have someone who does know it walk you through it, you can read every single book and write up but it really doesn't make sense until you see someone do it and put all the reading to use. At least for me anyway.

Yeah, I would definitely need it shown/explained to me, I learn way more from watching and doing then from just reading about things. Not to say that much can't be learned from reading, I have picked up lots of useful information that way

Congratulations.

I tuned on my truck for about six months then ImportThis's truck for a couple months before I got a good knowledge. Then started tuning tire and gear changes for guys around town. It has progressed from there for me to tuning head and cam cars. No FI yet still find it very intimidation on HPT.(means I need to read more). However, I will let you in on a secret about HPT if you read on there forum and think it looks like they are speaking Greek. It is not just you who thinks this. When I first started I thought everything was Greek now only a small part of it looks that way.

Definitely not my first go round with it, but that is solid advice for people just starting.

Think I'm about to purchase this as well, I need to find vendor who sells it though.

Haha. Maybe you just need to be in the "IN CROWD" with Allen Nelson to get it through him like I did.

I looked on ebay at what you were talking about. It was the data logger pro, not the vcm suite.
