Thread: Tuners and Tunes

Get a canned tune from 3800 performance, the safest one you can get, besides having someone with tuner do a custom tune in your car.

Best tune you can get is a custom tune...However, I have an Overkill PCM and I am really happy with the results...expect around 15HP gains, with the supporting mods.

HP Tuners is the best if your going to learn to do it yourself. If you want a out of the box PCM tune PM Reptile he can hook you up.

I disagree. If you are looking to LEARN how to tune, DHP is the way to go. Its a lot more complicated than HPTuners. That being said, keep it simple and go with HPTuners, it will help you with every mod you make.

If you want to have a tune done for you, don't buy from a vendor, someone else will hook you up with a better tune for the price like Reptile, or Overkill.

Price comparison
Used tuner ~$300+Credits for HPT for 1 car ($100)=$400 lifetime of tuning
Tuned PCM ~$150-250 for a one time tune.

As far as needing a tune for just a cold air intake, don't worry about it. A tune won't get you a lot of gain for just an intake, however removing torque management and changing shift points makes your car more fun to drive.
