    The amount of work HPTuners puts in to their software is unbelievable. As far as I'm concerned they deserve to ask for $50 a credit. Buy them from Intense and save $5 a credit.

    Do you get any credits when you get the software? And can you tune your stock PCM or do you need to buy a new one that's unlocked or whatever

    buying a new PCM is buying a new PCM file. its plug and play whereas tuning your car will take time and a lot of learning.

    so you're saying it'll be easier to tune with hptuner with a new pcm file rather than using hptuner with your stock pcm

    no if you buy a new pcm it will come pretuned from 3800performance,intense,overkill,zzp these companys load new tunes on the pcm for you then send you the unit

    costs around 100-150 bucks plus core chrge

    yes, you got it. you'll be able to do what they are doing, but be able to change a whole lot more as well as customizing the tune for YOUR car.

    Jesus....my head hurts.

    I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, and say if you have to ask this many questions, then you need to read up on the HP Tuners forums. In no way, should you start to attempt at using a tuning software if you don't know what you're needing.

    Sorry for sounding like a prick, I just think that people need to study and read up on things like this. Asking one or two specific questions after you get a basic idea is one thing, but jumping into this with both feet when you have no clue as to what you're doing is gonna end up costing you a car in the end.
