    hp tuners on its way

    well, i convinced the wife that i need hptuners, since i have three chevy's and will be able to tune all three myself then. the sub is actually fine with the tune i have from allen. but i am constantly changing the silvy and would like to be able to tune on the TBSS. i have heard a tune REALLY wakes them up. all i have is a CAI but taking out some TM and firming up the shifts would probably feel great.
    my problem is i dont know if i can actually do the tuning. i have some experience with tuning, but it was on dsm's with dsmlink.

    You can take classes to learn about HPT--and I also know there are several books out there you can read as well. Yes, a tune will do a lot for the TBSS!

    Your going to love it , it takes time to learn but don't give up , read , read , read , ask questions , read and read .
    Tuning is not easy , but rewarding when you get something right .
    I tuned my wife's TB (4.2L) , man it grabs second and raises the front end and gives a nice kick back in the seat .
    The TBSS will come alive for sure .
    I do use the the other tuning suite , but they are both good for tuning , I do think HPTuners has a slight edge on the other one .
    Now what is a tune again?
