HPT or EFI Live. Pocket tuners are ok if you don't plan on doing much, my friend had one on his GTO... and sold it and got HPT.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. A lot of people buy the pocket tuners only to find out that they don't do very much and aren't really worth the money.

Our software reprograms the factory pcm, with access to 350+ parameters & tables you'll have access over virtuatally every aspect of the pcm including the maf & fuel enrichment tables as well as spark, CAGS, etc.

Our packages also include our scanner which is one of the best on the market at no extra charge.

You can check out more on our website www.hptuners.com

99 pcm's are NOT a direct swap, the pinouts are completely different between the two.

say your battery goes dead or is disconnected....do you have to pay for another tune?

HP Tuners does not sell tunes - they sell you tuning software and equipment so you can do them yourself.

oh ok. but you still have to retune right? the pcm resets to factory, correct? does anyone offer some sort of compensation a in battery issue case? like a discount

no discount. you do it yourself. it's not a one time use, you can tweak it daily if you wanted.

I'm not positive about how it is with f-bodies, but I didn't lose my tune with my GTP when I disconnected the battery. In fact, if battery power was required then mail order tunes would not exist.

you are correct bill. ive disconnected my battery and had dead batteries before in my trans am and the the tune is still on there when i reconnected.

He works for a tunershop in DE from what I understand race proven motorsports maybe? Not sure if they still use him or not but that was the last I heard.

Either way...

Still lookin for a tune that I don't have to do myself and not a 800 dyno tune?...Asking too much?

foff667
04-28-2008, 11:58 PM
In this case yes, btw dyno tunes run $250-550, not sure where you got $800 from. Occasionally TTP has specials for bolt on cars for super cheap.

Yeah I was originally tuned by cartek back in the day for $550 as well :shrug:

ChickenLittle

for regular bolt on stuff it was 550 at Cartek; but I needed custom tuning and they had an hourly rate...so my man Bill here handled it before he got scooped up by HPTuners
