Damn, HP Tuners kicks ***.. I wish I had gotten on this bandwagon sooner, because I'm really loving how much better this stuff is than LS1Edit. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a '77 Pinto. The real time scanner is awesome, and the little box that does logging... freakin sweet.
I've been tweaking on the Formula all day long... going to see how well I can tune it on my own just reading this forum and HPTuner's site.. seems to be making a nice difference in how it's running...

It's well worth the money... I'm loving it.
Although, I just had to start over from scratch on my car...
No fault of HPTuners or mine, actually.. it seems that for some reason when I went in and edited out the codes for EGR/AIR and flashed the computer again with LS1Edit, it did something to the DTC's section, and it just showed up completely blank when I loaded that page in HPTuners. I had to load up LS1Edit again, reflash the VCM back to a really old tune, redownload the VCM to HPTuners, and redo all the settings over again to get it back.

Yea HP Tuners is great. had mine for a few years. I have been on it non stop for two days fine tuning DR Phils tune, to support my big dry shots, and it leaves the cutting edge n/a tune alone (truly two tunes in one). The best tuner program out there, imo.

I've had mine for a few months and haven't really had time to do anything more than minor tweaking, but I did get it half price by going in on it with a buddy from work, so who's complaining.

Now if they would only finish the "EZ Button" feature!

Anyone know about how long it takes to get this in the mail after it is ordered?
Apparently they are built to order so it will definitely be a few days at least before it ships....
I feel like a kid the night before christmas

Yeah I'm almost as excited as I was when waiting for my first goat in '03. I emailed them telling them I wanted my HP Tuners in ten minutes. They told me it takes 5-7 business days before they ship. Then from Florida to here is about another week. sigh I am on day 4 of waiting.

It makes a HUGE difference for autos! What gears & stall do you have in the Formie Zeke? I can send you some files to help tweak in the driveability. The racing shift points are pretty easy......use the rpm vs gear in WOT. And bump your rev limiter up 3-500 above the highest one.

Been playing with mine for about a month tuning the fuel trims and trying to get that idle dropping issue worked out. Takes a while to learn but well worth it. Mine took about 7 days to arrive.
