Easy tuning projects?
Easy tuning projects? So I'm thinking about getting hptuners pro and starting to learn a bit about tuning and hopefully save some money in the long run. What would be some easy things to learn to tune with?
I just recently changed the headers on the car, and I'm assuming there would be some gains by tweaking the tune. Would something like that be a good start? What about an intake swap? Head swap? I'd hate to start out trying to tackle something beyond my abilities and potentially ruin something.

A good first project would be to take a completely stock vehicle and then change the cold air kit (MAF plumbing) and recalibrate it to replicate STOCK performance with new hardware. I do this as a demo in a lot of my classes just to make the point about getting the fundamentals right.
After you've done this right, you're ready to move on to more involved projects like cam/head swaps or superchargers. The trick is to avoid either 1) biting off more than you can chew with an immensely complex first projoect, or 2) working around someone else's non-stock mess of a starting point that didn't run right to begin with.
