HP Tuners
it is not simple but if you give it some time studying it wil start to sink in like anything else.
hp tuners has a very good forum and there are pently of options out there to help learn how to approach tuning properly. for short money like $17 you could buy the book advanced engine management & tuning by Greg Banish which gives a great overview of the why's and how's. there is the tuning school learn at home course and tuning schools you can attend to learn how to tune on a dyno.
You are fortunate that ls1's are a very popular platform to tune so theres a lot of info out there including on this forum.
It sounds like you havent bought your hp tuner yet? if you havent do yourself a favor and buy the pro model so you can plug your wideband right into the eio port on the side of the tuner instead of having to wire it through egr and the pro has a greater sampling rate ( my terminology may be incorrect on this) but anyhow you get more data points to base your tune on . there are other reasons its better but where you mentioned getting a wideband also it just makes sense to go that way. I started out with hp tuners standard and then sold it and bought the pro and a wideband so I am trying to help save you a step.

agreed. When my base model hp tuner interface was stolen i used the insurance money and got the Pro, which i should have gotten in the first place. I'm steadily learning to tune though, i can do a few neat things already but the biggest hurdle for me right now is SD tuning the VE table.

Thanks for the help and info. I'm buying the software from the guy that tuned my car. I'm not sure which one it is but when I find out I will let both of you know. I can't pass up the deal the price I'm getting it for..
That happened to me, are you using the CD or the downloadable one off the Hp tuners forum? Use the CD if you can if not look for the latest beta version of it, otherwise your app key wont work right

Bill (support) will get you taken care of but I wouldnt expect a reply until monday.
give him the serial number on the tag on your interface , what application key your trying to use , and a screenshot of the screen telling you whats wrong - he may ask you for more , maybe an info log but that should get the ball rolling.
