Default Bill - HP Tuner Question

I'm going to call & talk to Chris or Keith @ HPT to see what we need to add to your setup for my new project. So you have 1.7, with E I/O and my year car. Looking at the I/O charts, it will do both your LC1 & my LM1. So all we should need is the 2 Bar upgrade, correct? (feel free to chime in Ellis....)

I may upgrade mine later, but right now money will be an issue. I might even toss Ellis $100 to tune the GTO instead of spending $200 to add it to mine.

Mark that is my understanding. I didn't really pay that much attention because I wasn't going to use that aspect of the software, but I believe that's true. Are you sure you don't want the 3 bar sensor ?! I'd definitely talk to Chris or Keith about it to make sure.

Poeple on here & HP site say 2 bar, but I will ask. I think it depends on how much boost you run. 2 bar is good up to 14psi I believe. (as in 2 atmospheres) Over that you want 3....and no matter WHAT Ellis says, we are staying well below 14.

OUCH!!! So you're saying I need an all forged 408 with an ATI F1 @ 20 psi AND a 300 shot? So, is this the 1st NW edition of PINKS now?

BTW - if all I need is the 2 bar, it cost $299. I'm going to end up having more money in yours than I do in mine.....
