Tuning?

So let me ask this. I got a Overkill PCM and if I want to do future upgrades can I tune my PCM or not because its locked? How would that work?
 


Overkill's code is proprietary. His are locked because he uses different programs to create his file, and no one program would be able to read it right.
 


Nope. when you buy the tuner from HPT it comes with 8 credits. It takes 2 credits to tune you're car an unlimited amount of times. The credit system is how they make there money.
 
Can I use the remaining credits for anything else? Is there a core charge or anything when purchasing one of your tuners?
 


well thats a hard question because whats easy for one is harder for another. they do have a lot of how toos on the hptuner forum but it really helps out if you have a person that knows it very well that can help walk you through it.
its not really hard you just have to think a bit:th_thumbsup-wink:

Are the tuners easy to understand for someone who doesn't have a lot of experience?

YES. Everything is manual. Nothing is ''stage 1'' ''stage 2'' type of thing.


If you're considering getting one start learning now. Look into the forums and start looking at all the posts and intake everything that you can.
 


it qwas very confusing at first, even when I read on it all, however, JoshMcMadMac gave me an invitation to learn from him and it helped a lot. After the initial meeting I've been able to slowly move off on my own now. Good luck!
 
no, you just purchase your vehicle one time and its your forever... i went ahead and purchased all 1998 Grand Prixs for 4 credits...

I see HPTuners software on the classifieds all the time on the other forums. Each credit cost ~$50. Since 8 come with the product I subtract $50 per credit they used. Either way if you plan on only doing your car and never anyone elses, then 2 credits is all you need and spending $300 on it instead of the $600 it costs will still save you substantially.
