****ty deals. I wonder if an HP tuner is just as good?
10-07-2013
It all depends on what your doing with it. think of the two as one is dos and the other is win 98... one is pretty and the other lets you do much more if you know how. also you wont need to buy credits as with HP tuners.

Oh okay. Well for a guy that's never tuned anything but a guitar in his life would an HP tuner be the road to go on? I'm not intending my car to be on the track. I wouldn't mind putting a cam in it and stuff like that. No hardcore racing though.

Clark - will yours work for a L32. Oh, and do you know a guy with an older imported white Subaru, it's got a turbo on it?
Bill - i don't know the difference between the DHP and the HPT? I've been trying to read up on the differences are but I haven't really found what's so different. I don't need anything "high tech" persay. I may cam this car but 227km on engine and tranny ist something I have full confidence in, so if i even do I pulley drop, id like less KR as possible because this engine does have some wear and tear that I've been slowing trying to fix.
Side note...SGI does have motors for $800 so I may buy one and go to town with mods on that.

Ive bricked my hpt box twice and ive flashed 10 times with it.
10-08-2013
When you "brick it" does that mean you scrambled all the data that was on the PCM?

How much were you looking to get for it?I have one. In Saskatoon

He wasnt looking to sell it...I already asked LOL
From what i gather after fully reading and sending a pm I realized he is in the same city as the OP and it was probly an offer to tune... not to sell

The difference basically comes down to some basics.
DHP is no longer in business, unsupported for the most part, flashing cars takes quite a while (IMO) compared to HPT and you need a bin file with OSID that was unlocked in the software.
HPT is in business, works with much more ease than DHP, has many nice built in tools that are on the sidelines with DHP and support is fast.
The downside is.. DHP being out of business means once you have the box and software, you likely have no additional costs. HPT is a pay as you go system.

Another upside to HPT - a TON of other vehicles are supported - all GM LSx stuff, lots of other GM four and six cylinder cars, growing support for Ford modular platform - so if you buy something else in the future, there's a good chance that HPT will work with it.
If you have friends with supported vehicles, you can help them out with HPT too. It's really versatile. I've tuned everything from an L67 swapped '55 Chevy truck to an L36 powered dirt track car to a stock '05 Mustang GT with it.
Honestly, too, I've tuned with a couple different packages over the years (twEECer for FORD EEC PCMs, DHP for 3800, extensive use of SCT Advantage III for modular Ford, extensive use of HPT for GM, and limited use of some import and other tuning software), and I believe that HPT is the best software out there. It's very well put together, easy to learn, easy to use, etc.

well thanks you guys for the information. Ill be getting an Aeroforce Gauge soon and see how much KR I have and will go from there with the whole pulley drop. i think with what you all told me i should just go with a HPT because I do own two Sierra trucks, this car and a lot of my buddies do have GM's. so i think that would be best bang for my buck, that's if i can figure out how to tune things properly cause i DO NOT wanna blow my engine from lack of knowledge.

Do you have a good grasp on engine performance parameters (air to fuel ration, ignition timing, air flow, etc) and how they all work together? If not, I wouldn't just buy a tuner and start banging away. Start with something like this:

Once you understand what you're trying to actually accomplish, the practical side (meaning: actually using the software) is easy.
