1- what upgrades made you start tuning ur PCM

None, got the urge while fairly stock and before there
was anything but handhelds and LS1-Edit.

2- what software your using?

HPTuners

3- which one is better for you hp tuners or diabloSport ?

HPTuners beats handhelds. Not sure if you mean the DS
shop software, which doesn't get much play here.

4- is it hard to learn tuning by ur self?

As hard as anything else technical - aptitude and prior
relatable experience, and ability to absorb all the model
specific trivia.

5- any bad experience for you and a wrong tuning?

Well, I tuned a guy's truck, took out torque management
and traction control like he asked, and watched him eat
a transmission (first of several). But he was hard core,
was used to breaking stuff and not a whiney *****.

6- how can you make successful business?[/QUOTE]

Retail sucks. Your average clown off the street hasn't got
enough money to keep your business going, has no sense
and will probably bad-mouth you the month after next,
after for a while until they don't like something
they asked for and got.

You've got to have a core clientele who trusts your work
and wants more of it. That's tough to do with daily driver
type cars. You need crazy Corvette people for the cash,
but those white hanky weatherstrip wipers will bring all
their emotional issues too.

And the whole matter of being trustworthy, competent
and all that... great, until you find out that you lack the
skills or personality to handle the business in all its no-fun
aspects.

supercharger / engine swap

2- what software your using?
EFI Live

3- which one is better for you hp tuners or diabloSport ?
Can't speak to either, hpt does more than DS I believe.

4- is it hard to learn tuning by ur self?
Considering your spelling, probably. Engineering/math/computer science background helps.

5- any bad experience for you and a wrong tuning?
I've never made any big mistakes but have seen many others fail big time.

6- how can you make successful business?
Know what you're doing and prove it, over and over.

2- what software your using?
> EFILive.

3- which one is better for you hp tuners or diabloSport ?
> EFILive.

4- is it hard to learn tuning by ur self?
> Depends on the individual; some people learn easier than others; helps if you understand ICE's at a deeper level; see what JimmyBlue said.

5- any bad experience for you and a wrong tuning?
> Only small mistakes; I'm very careful and sanity check my steps.

6- how can you make successful business?
> Doing that is much more difficult then tuning.
