    he speaks the truth. Unless you can get someone that does tuning with HPTuner to show you how to do it, it will take forever to learn. I even bought the Greg Banish book and DVD and still don't know squat. The software does not come with any guides telling you how to use it. Worthless software until you familiarize yourself with it.

    Huh! Plus you need to add that English is a 2nd language for me!! Because I speak spanish, and I've been learning english for a couple of years.. I used to be a foreign exchange student in Billings Mt for a year and since there I've been trying as hard as I can to learn it.. So, this will not be an easy ride for me to learn how to tune for sure. I'm telling you because you guys that speak perfect English have a hard time tuning, imagine me.. =s well, "the one who don't risk, does not win" that's a saying we have here in Mx.. Good thing is I live 2hrs from the border with Az & I have a house in Tucson.. I know there are some tuners in Phoenix.. That will help a bit I guess in case I take a weekend of to go and take some tuning lessons.. Do you guys know of any tuning class?? I don't mind going somewhere in the U.S for a couple of days to learn how to tune properly.. (nope, I'm not an illegal immigrant lol I DO have visa and all that kind of stuff)

    yeah i think just starting out it shouldn't be about charging for the tunes for your buddies, just let them cover any costs you have to do their truck and let the experience be your pay. When you get confident in your abilities then think about how much.

    Wow! That felt great man!! I really appreciate!! (I will give you a free tune if I get good at it someday LOL)
    No man, seriously thank you!!

    And G, that's what I will do! I will explain my buddies how better than any handheld programmer this thing can get someday and hopefully they will help me out, at least pay for the credits for their trucks.. And with some of youguys help & the HPT forum, this will work out good..

    So, besides the HPTuners VCM pro edition, and the laptop.. What else will I need to get into tuning?

    yea man we split it four ways, since credit are a hundred bucks they can pitch in a 100 bucks to you so you can buy the program, like i said it comes with 8 credits so youll be able to tune thier rides.

    that should be all you need now all you need is some idiots to let you learn on thier trucks i wont be much help cus im just learning too, but if you gotta question dont hesitate to ask bro, pm or call, 918 470 5189.
