Hp tuner I want to buy HP Tuner but got a few questions that I can not find the answers to.
First I have a nitrous motor so what version would be best to buy, and in the next year I want to get a tubro would i be able to up grade to the 2or 3 bar when I needed.
Second is how much it is going to cost 1999 LS1 Z28
Last thing is what if when my motor blows up ( This Season) if I replace it with a 408 of something along that line will HP Tuner work or will I need to buy it all over agian.
Thanks

you'll want the MPVI Pro version w/the inputs/outputs. nitrous motors won't need the 2/3 bar upgrade, but you could if you wanted to (2/3 bar is for boost)
$650 for the tuner, then you get 8 licenses with it. You can choose to get unlimited 99 Z28s for 6 credits (no additional purchase) or you can license just your own PCM for 2 credits (6 credits left over for future PCMs, custom OS, etc...)
The VIN Locking type licensing is licensed to the PCM, so you can put a new engine in, so long as you use the same PCM it will work fine. The year/model licensing will work w/any PCM w/a valid OS for that year/model
Since you're only going to tune your car, the VIN locked is prolly the best choice for you... 2 credits (6 left, so you could potentially license 3 more vehicles, or you can upgrade to custom OS's...) ... but if you have 2 or more other buddies w/a 99 F-Body V8 then the unlimited is best (6 credits, but then any other 99s that come along can be tuned for no additional cost)

yes...for now you could get by just fine with the stock OS and just use 2 credits by vin locking if you wanted...meaning you'd have 6 credits remaining to apply the 2 bar OS at a later time.
