    Tuning at a dyno with an experienced tuner with a guarantee is worth the money spent.

    when I started tuning, I wanted some help, so I used the dhp to take scans and sent the data to Will at Overkill Motorsports and he made maf adjustments for me. He will also do the same thing with HP Tuners. His tune is far superior to zzp's. if you buy an hp tuner, I would just get a new one, so you don't have to worry about buying more credits. if you get a used one, make sure it still has credits. new units come with 8 credits, so you can tune 4 different vehicles, after that, you need another 100 dollars in credits per vehicle, and used hp tuners rarely sell for less than 350, often without any credits.

    theres no mild tune, you tune it to be right. not 1/2 way there.

    just because you go to a dyno for a tune doesn't mean ****. I did, and switched back to my overkill tune the same day after driving home. the tuner put way too lean of an injector flow rate, so any maf adjustment wouldn't hold because it was so far out of range.

    I looked at an hp tuner and it doesn't look that bad at all. So I'm definitely considering picking a new one up. Does it tune for the life of me having the car? Not sure how the credits work. Dumb question..

    You unlock a pcm with 2 credits and is good as long as you have the pcm.

    Since you are in Denver you should be able to hold 18* pretty easy the air is thin, so you are going to have to do fueling adjustments.
