self tuning?????????????
self tuning????????????? What kind of tools would you need to self tune a ls1 after an engin rebuild? I dont really trust any of the tunners around hear and they all charge an arm and a leg. Would it be practical in any way to get the tools i need and tune the car with the help of a few car guys?
You'll need a tuning suite as mentioned above, a wideband O2 integrated into your tuning suite, a laptop to run everything on, and for gosh sakes get a power inverter so the laptop battery does not go out in the middle of a tuning run.
Then read, join the forum of your selected tuning suite provider and ask questions, and go slowly.
The initial outlay of $$ is not cheap and there are no shortcuts. But the end result is worth it if you take your time.

the Hp tuner is about 400$, and i also need y ban hooked up to my laptop. would there be any little unsespected costs. Also would it just be plug and play or would the be something preset to work with.
not sure what a y ban is or whatever else you said but hptuners uses USB to plug in to your OBDII port, its simple...and as mentioned, you will want a wideband setup as well which will run you a couple hundred more (but its WELL worth it) the power inverter is also a good suggestion, i cant count how many times we had to go back to the house and charge up the laptop when we were tuning, it was a hassle
You need HPT PRO with wideband input, not the std, so it is more than $400.

You'll probly spend $600-$900 in tuning equipment.Alot of hours reading the net for tuning info.Alot of time adjusting your car and Dyno time.
After reading that I bet the $400-$600 tuning cost by someone that knows looks better.

No id still rather put in the hours and learn how to do it. That way when i chang things, and i will, i can tune it again.
