Best tunner besides HP tunners

[borispeed]

I don't want to invest about 500 or more in HPtuners, and also I am not patient to work with tables on the computer, and asking for codes and numbers every time. Also I want basic tunning such as fuel, transmission shifts, etc. But at the same time I want a tunner that takes advantage of the mods I have: CAI, headers and aftermarket muffler and high flow cat, 160 thermostat, and maybe something else that I don't remember. I don't like the alternative of tunning through mail, since that's the only car I have to move. So, what's the tunner that offers the best for the buck.

Re: Best tunner besides HP tunners

lol, only one is hptuners so you are SOL. So either have it dynotuned locally or buck up and get hptuners or mail order tune. :)

Some years of 3.8 cars (newer years) have a hypertech available but those things are pieces of junk and don't give you anything for gains and I would NOT recommend them.

Re: Best tunner besides HP tunners

Is it possible to tune with someone who has HPT in the area?

Re: Best tunner besides HP tunners

yea you could have someone in your area do it, just would have to pay $100 for the 2 credits to tune your car unless they have your years totally unlocked already. Being in Texas you should be able to find someone fairly easy as a lot of v6 guys are running around Texas

Re: Best tunner besides HP tunners

I have unlimited tunning for 97' PCM's, but if you find a shop to flash it everytime you'll wind up spending $600 plus over the years unless your not going to keep it for more than 3 years.

How quickly everyone forgets about the Maft Translaters!! That is another option to tune your A/F and Timing. Thats what I used because HP tuners was not available for my car at the time and I still use it on my 02 WS6. They can be bought for 50-75 dollars if you can find them.. Very simple to use. Just plug it into your maft and with a few turns of a nob you can tune your A/F ratio and Timing both at WOT and at normal driving.

There really isnt a point to tune your car yet with a expensive tune. I would wait until I do a major mod like Cam or turbo before I would drop the money it would take to fully tune your car!!

yea but the OP wants to tune his trans as well, not just timing and a/f ratio. So the MAFT won't work for all that he is after, hence hptuners is needed one way or the other

Re: Best tunner besides HP tunners

theres DHP Pwrtuners but its discontinued and theres not much support. Although i bet you could find one floating around somewhere. Kinda Rare to see though

I understand that but when people say there is only 1 way to tune your car that is wrong!!
