I am working at Eglin also.

Do you know if there is anyone local that is pretty good with HPTuners? I have a F13 cam in my Z06 and want to get it to cruize and idle just a little better.

Thanks
Bud

I am working out of hanger 103. I work with the training pods on the jets. My car has never been on base but it is blue.

I bought HPTuners for my car and was hoping I could look over someones shoulder, that was using HPTuners, so I can figure out how to use it.

jblack245, the car has been a blast. I am sure you would injoy it.

Thanks
Bud

john actually uses hptuners, and is a guru @ it. he tried to involve me as much as possable when he tuned my car, but he was taking southern greek to me. all i remeber was green good, red bad. and a lot of numbers, and you have to use math!?!?!?
someday i'll learn the art of tuning!

anyway, looks like the weather is going to crap on us sunday, so maybe a saturday meet in fwb sounds good?
