Default Turbo Guys...what do you do for tuning?

How are you tuning your cars? You doing it yourself like with HP tuner or who is tuning it for you?

Myself with HPTuners. I think that a tune is an ongoing process. I'm always tweaking some paramter here or there.

You know, I was going to go the same route you did with all the add-on's but it Im just going BS3 from the start, just to kill multiple birds with one stone...and not to mention, the price difference wont be that much if you add everything together: Maf-T + HPT Pro + WB + Imp converter + 2-Step = roughly $1800 and a BS3 setup with the harness is just a tad over $2k.

Oh, Ill be doing my own tuning on the BS3.

HPT 2 bar tune. But like someone said above, it's a constant thing. Always tweaking something.

FAST XFI ECU and FAST XIM Ignition. I do all the tunning myself.

I like it better than BS3, GEN 7 DFI, EFI LIVE/RR, and HPT. I have owned and used them all.

It is mostly personal prefrence. They will both do the job and do it well. I found the FAST XFI/XIM to be a more professional looking software then BS3. I think AEM is better than them both. It requires and injector driver so I ruled it out. Like I said before it is a personal prefrence based on the software for me. FAST customer service has been awesome too. Each will do the job.

Kyle the touch screen data logger is bad ***. I will send ya a pm when I get home from work.
