Default im thinking about getting into tuning myself

just for my own car...ive got a huge cammed 346 ls1, nitrous and might need to make small changes in timing later, maybe make some motor timing runs and it would be easier if i could tune myself whenever...

i know a lot of people use hptuners...shoot me some info about the differant versions of it, what would i need, maybe if i tuned a few friends cars also(something i could grow with maybe)

For the best bang-for-the-buck, get HP Tuners Pro. You can log with a wideband and tune your car to perfection. We offer a tuning book that illustrates how to tune at the following link...

OR the book packaged with HP Tuners Pro as a set for a discounted price at this link...

Considering that you intend on tuning a nitrous engine, using a wideband is a must, and HP Tuners Pro allows you to tune and datalog the results. After you buy this setup, you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
