Default Georgia tuners

I realize it's an odd question, but I'm looking for someone that does some tuning (just their own cars or customer cars) with HPTuners. I would really like to come watch you run through the basic tune on a car to see what is involved. Like I said, I know it's an odd request, but I'm thinking of buying the HP software and doing some tuning, but I would like to see if I'm getting in over my head before I spend the money and have somthing I can't use. It would be strickly at your convience.
Thanks

you can use it...anyone can. At first you just make changes that you understand and then you branch out as you learn more. Kind of like the computer...the more you use it, the more you learn and take advantage of.

Hell if I did that I would end up having to buy another engine.I am surprised that I havn't had to buy another computer yet as much as I screw up with it.
Probably after a year or so I could figure out how to tune but I don't want to wait that long! Jerry is the man,he need's to hold a class "How to tune for Dummy's".

not true. WOT tuning is EASY...i mean easy...its idle and part throttle that takes some learning but those are the places you are least likely to cause any damage Plus if a change doesnt work, you can always go back to the tune that did. I just ordered efilive/roadrunner. With the wideband, it will AUTO tune my ve table and apply it in real time. Roadrunner has some bad *** potential...autotune lots of stuff and every table can be changed real time driving down the road...no stop...change tune..reload tune...see if it works. SUPPOSEDLY it can keep my car running at say 11.5 a/f going down the track...auto correcting as it goes down the track!!! I am going to be selling my hptuners if Greg, Dave or Al dont want to buy it for themselves. It is setup to tune unlimited 00 f-bodys, 00 silverados/trucks and 01 silverado trucks

1309.00 for flashscan v1 and roadrunner. comes with 2 efi licenses and unlimited 98 tuning ability. You dont need flashscan V2 if you NEVER intend to do a ls2 vehicle.
I was told it can auto tune OLSD which is the main reason i got it. I got the RR already and waiting on the efilive cable. I cant use it till the motor is running with the new turbo kit though
