Post Hp tuner Credicts

I'm sorry if this is going to be an idiot question.
But I might buy Hp tuner VCM Suite pro soon
But my question is im going to the the one with the 8 stock credits
can i later purchase the extra 52 credits and make it unlimited for all Gm?
Or do i have to purchase it all together?

nah, you can keep building up. So the more cars you tune goes towards an upgrade. They dont count as full credits when upgrading but they still have value in the end i guess. So essentially it would be cheaper to buy 52 now rather than slowly building up.. but 52 is alot of money. Thats what i have gathered

im pretty sure... you dont get full credit for them but it allows for people to build up credits towards more packages. I think its like 75% of the value or something. So I used 2 credits from my hptuners for tuning my 98 TA then my buddy is like hey can you tune my 98 as well so im like sure!!! So I have now used 4 credits total. So I now get 3 credits towards an upgrade. So say the year/model costs 6 credits I now have 3 credits that have been taken off. So if I want to upgrade it will cost me 3 credits. So in reality I have then used 7 total(the 4 i used to tune me and my buddies car + the 3 i just used to upgrade) So then it just goes on and on.
So as you can see in the end you might end up spending more on credits but this allows for cheaper ways to start off tuning. It helps the customers and hptuners all together.

True story, The forum has a lot of great info with alot of people full of knowledge(frost). However, there are some informative books as well. I just purchased Master EFI tuner by Dan Maslic a couple weeks ago and its an awesome book! This way i dont have to sit at the computer and read forums all day. Im pretty sure hes a sponsor on here so you can search if you would like.. and of course as always.. dont break anything

its good also to save the stock tune off your car in a safe place so u can easily just go back to stock and start over. trial and error i suppose
