    Hello,

    My name is Jerry and I am located in the Hampton Raods area of Virginia. I have a 2006 C6 Corvette. I have already added a CAI, Melrose Headers, Hi Flow Cats, X-Pipe, Livernois Stage II Heads and Cam, underdrive pulley, and tuned at a local Dyno shop with LS2 Edit (please throw no stones). I am new to HP tuning software, as a matter of fact, I am still awaiting the arrival of the software. I look foward to hearing from you all in the forums.

    Jerry

    Hi Everyone,
    My name is Keith, and I have a 2004 GTO. I've put headers, cam, clutch and gears in it. It has been tuned at Vector Motorsports in Clinton Township, MI.
    I really had no desire to play with tuning myself until I put the gears in, and I needed to change things to compensate for the gears. svede1212 was kind enough to do that for me, and that started my curiosity. He then logged one of my runs at the track, and it intrigued me enough to want to learn how to tune my car myself. So I ordered up the Professional version, and I'm waiting for it to arrive
    I'm a toolmaker by trade, and write CNC programs, so I'm hoping that I'll pick this up fairly quickly.

    Hello,
    I'm Scott, I currently have an '06 GTO. It's my third GTO, I traded my Black '04 for it. My first car was a '68. I work in Retail Distribution for a Fortune 50 company. I live in Kissimme, FL.
    Ok, so I pulled the trigger and ordered a Pro version. What am I getting myself into?
    I held off buying any parts for the GTO until last week when I just had to have a K&N CAI. I spent the last week trying to decide what should be next and everything/everyone seems to point to 'get it tuned'. I don't know anybody that tunes these things and at $500 +/- each time it seems silly to not do it myself. Wish me luck?

    Hello all. Just registered, but have been lurking months trying to pick up knowledge about tuning. I just got a laptop and ordered HP last week and can't wait to get it for my turbo 98 firebird. I think it will be easier to understand once I can look at the screens on HP tuners. I am an ASE certified tech for a living. I presently work in a retail Chain type shop and use to work at a corvette specialty shop doingthings from ATI installs on C5's to body off restorations on early cars. I'm sure I will be posting more later as I have more questions. Thanks everyone.

    hehe, good luck , in all honesty you'll do fine...theres a lot of reading, but if you have the drive to learn you'll be just fine.

    I'm new here, and just wanted 2 introduce myself

    Hi guys. My name is Dave. I'm from New Jersey. I have a 06 Trailblazer SS AWD. So far I have done a Volant cai, and a Diablo tune. My truck is at Kooks right now getting 3" long tube headers & cats done. As soon as I get it back I'm doing true duals with magnflow's. I also have a Yank 3600 stall converter sitting here that will be installed after the exhaust followed by a cam. After these installs I'm ready 4 a HP tune . I currently have no experience in tuning, but I am DETERMINED 2 LEARN. If you guys can please help me out and teach me a few things, it would be greatly appreciated. I joined this forum 2 meet some new friends & learn.

    Hello,
    I have been tuning (or trying to tune) my 1980 Malibu for awhile. It has an L98 with an Accel SuperRam with a 58mm throttle body. I am running a 4L80E trans. I actually started this project before I retired. (when I had more money to play with) I control the engine with the good old 7730 90 Corvette computer and the trans with a 1992 diesel controller.
    I built this car to race and out of the box it ran 14's. After more changes than I care to think about I finally got it to run 12.89@104 mph.
    I am kind of an "oddball" as all my racing buddies are running carbs but I finally got some respect.
    I guess I don't know why I didn't find this forum before this but it's nice to know there are more of us around.
    Ken

    You can just call me Nick. I came here to read up alittle on the Hp Tuner product. I do want to order me a setup so I can start tuning on my own. I currently own a 2000 camaro and a 2006 silverado. I belong to a car club out of south Louisiana called Get On It Racing. Anyway I guess I will go and make a couple of drive by's on the forum.
