    New user, need help on tuning ls 5.3

    Greetings, I am anticipating the purchase of an hp tuners product, but dont even know which one is best suited for my application. Heres quick run down of what Im building and what I need to do.
    1994 s10 reg cab lsx conversion from 2001 Tahoe 5.3l/4l60e trans
    Comp cams 265hr cam.
    This is all the information on the application I "think" is applicable to this post.
    What I need to do:
    Tune drivetrain for optimal performance after assembly is complete
    Use Hptuners to make future adjustments in the event of nitrous oxide installation
    Be able to use hptuners as a general scan tool on any OBD2 equipped vehicle for troubleshooting purposes

    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

    However it will NOT scan ANY OBD2 vehicle, just ones with supported protocol

    Let me clarify, it will work as a scanner but only on vehicles with a Supported protocol.

    Don't expect to hook up to a VW or BMW etc etc and have it work.
