    Yes, reading is one part of it. But another huge part is tuning time. Seat time is more beneficial than reading really. But you have to do the reading part FIRST before you get out there and start modifying tables...

    Greg, another good point. I haven't picked up a book concerning HPT and I feel slightly confident that I could do some basic tuning just by sitting and watching Dale work his magic. Watching someone who is really knowledgeable with HPT helps more than anything.

    Yes Ilya--what I would recommend also.

    Yeah, but just use it as a basis for certain tables. And to ask for help/ask questions. Look for some of the older/higher post count members/Moderators.

    Best piece of advice for using the HPT website!

    I think the only bad reviews I've heard of was for the early versions of the Innovate LC-1 widebands, multiple failures. Understand the one they're selling today had been fixed and the issues no longer exist. You have to be careful when buying an used LC-1 due to this issue. The LM-1, not sure if i've heard of issues on that one from Innovate. I may have them backwards, whichever one was the least expensive was the one they had the issues with.
