just check out the hptuners forum... plenty of people to help out.... and make sure you DO EXPLORE all the parameters in ur tune once you load it up..... knowing where everything is will be a big benefit.

Greg's DVD is ok, but not needed for the beginner.

I wouldn't eliminate TM, you can retain some degree of trans
protection and make it not bug you. Limiting how much spark
it can pull out, is all you need to do (though getting shifts
done faster, also makes the TM less noticeable).

The last thing your wimp tranny needs is a daily ***-whuppin'.
