I know, I know, I just didn't want to get all specific, and, I'm lazy at typing.CrabhartLSX said:pssst, LSX series motors don't have chips you can change
I got a custom tune and I love it, the only down fall is if i ever want anything down again I will need a retune05_GTO said:Do a custom dyno tune, it's the best way to go. Though wait till you have a decent list of bolt ons (long tubs, cat back, intake, etc) befor you do it IMO.
Isn't there a way to save the stock tune? In case you need it for emissions tests? Or maybe a way to save several tunes so that you can compare them?I got a custom tune and I love it, the only down fall is if i ever want anything down again I will need a retune
Yep, buy HP Tuners and do your own tuning.Isn't there a way to save the stock tune? In case you need it for emissions tests? Or maybe a way to save several tunes so that you can compare them?
Mine came with I think 8 or 8 credits. Each car costs 2 credits. You buy more credits from their website if you run out. You can alsu buy unlimited tuning for a specific make model and year for a certain amout(for tuning shops mostly).How do the HP Tuners credits work? If I bought it I'd want to use it on my Grand Am too.
How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? Also, do you run it from a laptop? How does it interface with the ECU? Does the software come with an I/O cable? Forgive my ignorance but this is something I would not mind learning about since I work with computers. Thanks.Mine came with I think 8 or 8 credits. Each car costs 2 credits.

Its great software. Easy to use once you hit the learning curve, and their forum has great info on it.
if you just want a generic tune and don't plan on doing any significant modding a handheld is fine. if you want the most out of your car or a cam or such is down the road get a full featured suite like HP Tuners or EFIliveI was looking at Predator's and Quadzillas and Superchip Cortex's. Does anyone have a suggestion for which I should buy, and is it worth the three or four hundred bucks? I have an 05 6.0 ls2.
