    got my hp tuners

    Ok I finally did it and purchased the Pro version of Tuners. Now I need to start slow and do some logging and figure this stuff out. Should be fun.

    ok not stock anymore...13.3 at 101
    Now with front mount turbo... new times soon

    Only thing I can recommend is every change you make be sure to make it a whole new saved file so you always have a good working tune to go back to if something isnt going so well.

    Good luck!

    No kidding. Idk how many times I've written over stock files or good working files with something that didn't produce quite the desired result.

    Great guys thanks for the super info. I will look at those links this afternoon. I have read several and dont know about those till I check. I have saved my file and will copy it to a safe place too. I have a Nelson tune so he and I will be swapping my log files I am sure as he will help me with some fine tuning. I needed to step up since I went turbo. I have a Tahoe that is in need of a touch up plus my buddy is doing a 69 Camaro so the list will go on I am sure. I am looking foward to it but am scared to even start. lol

    Lol, I know the feeling. I waited until I had a buddy that could show me around in it and now that he's given me a quick lesson in it I feel like I understand what all the tuning guides are talking about a lot more than before. Definitely helped me with understanding it all.

    ok I will make sure I keep a good backup when I start. Now if I open the original file and say "yes" license this I use 2 credits. Now lets say I change a couple things and screw it up completly and want to start over with the original tune does that license stay with any files I have associated to that PCM? I assume I dont need another 2 credits? Along those same lines if I have a super fuel saver tune and a performance tune all based off the original can I just swap them back and forth?
