    "Tuning Bag"

    No Ken, this is not what you think.

    So I was wondering, what is in your "tuning bag"? Since I do quite a few tunes throughout the month, I usually carry everything in a soft brief case. This is the inventory in my "tuning bag".

    1. Laptop
    2. HPTuners Cable
    3. Laptop Power Cord
    4. Power Inverter
    5. AEM Wideband
    6. Spare Wideband O2
    7. Wrench for O2 Sensor
    8. Tuning Tutorials (for quick reference)
    9. USB Zip Drive

    ... by the way, I carry my tuning supplies with me everywhere I go, you never know when you might need it.
    HPTuners, better than Roadside Assistance!

    automotive math book (for easy number conversions when i don't have internet access)
    fuel pressure gauge (can't mess up on IFR)
    lots of ebooks and pdf's, especially the one with model numbers of injectors, people are really 'underinformed' on what hardware they got and then feed me bullshit

    all that plus
    extra gear wrenches including the torx bit size for the TB blade
    zip ties
    wire cutter

    think thats about it off the top of my head.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    I only tune my own car, but I take:

    Laptop and power cable
    HPT Cable
    Power Inverter
    Portable Battery pack (you can use it to jump your car, but it has a cig. lighter in it that I plug the inverter in to)
    Cables for LC-1/XD-1
    Kleenex brand facial tissues (in case I need to cry)
    Alcohol (for the same reason as above)
