Actually the SSR tune I've got going now ain't bad but I'm sure there is always room for improvement. I think UDC is ok but I know there is much more refinement available than what it has/shows. So I am considering selling the SSR/dongle and moving to HP. Some newb basic questions:
1. What do I need to buy? If I plan on tuning my truck and my truck only is the only real investment the $499 tuner? Will I ever need more credits? How many if so?
2. If I put the truck back to stock and confirm the VIN is correct, do I still need to get a complete reflash at the dealer? Ugh, whenever I tell my dealer that I need a reflash on the latest cal they give me a dumb look.
3. Since we can't read the tunes out on 03's, is there a stock calibration available to start with?
4. What other huge learning curves or challenges will I face? I feel I am a fairly competent person and enjoy this kind of stuff.
Thanks
