How difficult is it to get started in tuning? My friend and I are going to attempt to try and tune my car. Its a 2002 Z28 with a G5X3, and a set of milled AFR 205's going on. After all of this, we're going to attempt to tune it. How hard is it to get started in this? We are both relitively new to this. We are thinking about going with HP Tuners. He has some knowledge, but I am a complete newb. Any input, and any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks in advance.

it's not difficult to tune. it takes some time to get familiar with what your dealing with though. start with the stickies at the top of this section.
also visit, www.efilive.com and www.hptuners.com both sites have forums with additional tuning info specific to their product.

I'm beginning my journey into LS1 tuning as well. My HPTuners should be here any day. The stickies in this forum, as well as the HPT forums have been a great help so far. I had never done a cam install before I did mine, so that gave me some courage. I'm pretty sure I can pick up on it quite easily.
Just like having all the right tools for the cam install made it a breeze, I would expect having all the right tools for the tuning would make it just as easy. I'm leaning towards investing in a LC-1 wideband O2. I already have the 1bar upgrade with HPT.
