what do I need, where do I get it, how do I use it
I need to tune my car! I cant seem to get the help I need... I have access to the best dyno equipment around so..... I might as well do it myself!
I have looked in my area for someone to tune my car and cant find anyone who is really into doing a good job and genuinely concerned about customer service. I contacted Jami earlier this year and after getting the run-around have decided I am not happy with his customer service or the equipment in the shop he uses. I have access to the equipment at Hutter Racing but Trevor is only familiar with tuning the LT1 stuff. I agreed with him to acquire the necessary software and hardware and he will help me dial it all in. I believe Moates is where to buy the stuff I need but could use a little advise on what exactly to purchase. I have a third gen with a TPI system out of 87 firebird and engine is modified. Can some of you gurus point me in the right direction.
thx

Re: what do I need, where do I get it, how do I use it
Look at the tuning guide at start of the DIY Prom forum. I knew nothing till I started reading here.
I bought a copy of Tunerpro RT while I was shopping at moates.net. Took a couple weeks at night, and more more more reading, but I almost have the hang of it.
You need to learn to read your eprom with TP, datalog, and then make changes to your bin file with TP, and re-write and test. This is a very simple explaination.
