    Everybody says its expensive, but it costs less than a good new motor, so buying the tuner and taking the time to learn was my priority. Rockers and a pulley are a lot to tune, cause you have more boost, and more air in and out of the cylinders, there are hundreds of things that can and may need to be changed, and it would be irresponsible of someone to just throw a quick tune into someone else's car......

    If you want a custom tune, do it yourself and going to a "professional shop" are the only two options in my book (unless you got a realy good friend who will take the hours and hours of time it takes to dial in a tune)


    That said....We aren't trying to be mean, just trying to let you know why few if any will tune someone else's car. Good luck with the install

    I got your back xhonda, I am on the same boat as you. I got a pre-tuned PCM and a aeroforce scan gauge to check for knock and other parameters but everyone I know says that a tune will help me optimize the rockers. The problem is that I dont know ANYTHING about tuning. I am not very car savy either. I understand that its good to take the time out and learn but the problem w/ that is if you dont know what you are doing then how do you know its right? Obviously if you have hours to devote to tuning then go for it. With all of this being said I will still end up just getting HP Tuners and learning what the hell is going on w/ my car. Does anyone know if HP Tuners is better than Power Tuner? What do you all recommend.

    yes the histrograms and the maf tuning is easier....not easier to tune on the car...that will be the same...but easier to perform on the tuner...like when actually copying any pasting and using the past special multiply by percent ect. plus current upgrades. they just upgradded to version 2.22 the other day.
