Well as some of you may know I start my new Job tomorrow...I'll be working for the company that I used to tune vehicles with HP Tuners Inc.
I quit my job with the state to take what I'd consider a dream job for myself...I'll be working out of my home in the automotive industry...what more could I ask for? They have a great business plan in place and the best tuning product on the market currently which made it an easy choice for me.
I'll pretty much be their email support system which ultimately takes alot of time away from new development for them.
Hopefully this job will lead to many more years of visits to SEMA & other automotive related shows that I've always loved attending.
Anyways thats my story & Im sticking to it :mrgreen:

hehe...I think Little G already has dibs from like 7 months ago already hehe thats if I can squeeze him in...they are making it harder to get non employees in as it is and im not sure how many people they want at their booth as it stands since we'll already have a bunch of us there + moderators & such if they want to get in.

This is great and all, but what does this mean for me and my Maxx? I still can only do 108mph, and thoes shift points need addressing. And Im getting a pesky code about a coolant sensor...that needs to go away.
So lets get moving, ok?

Yes, underwear are a requirement while working. I don't drink though so the beer won't happen.

lol...thats what our forum is for Paul ;)
I do not give tuning advice via email otherwise I would have 0 time to actually work. Between the 6000+ members we have on the site theres always someone there to help though :nod:

lol i know, i havent even gotten around to messing with the tuning yet. it runs decent, some minor codes come up but those are ok.
however, my one real question(not a questions really yet, im still trying to figure it out myself, lol) may be about how to connect the innovative wideband O2 setup to the MPVI pro interface. i look at the help page for enhanced IO but the whole thing about where to ground different things confuses me.
