    Sorry if this has been posted and answered before, I'm just posting quick before my doc appointment, but I'm thinking about doing a e85 conversion, but it would be on my dd. So I would want to run 93 most the time. The question is, are there any programmers like the Cobb accessport for our car to hold diff maps? Or just the good ol hptuners?

    Use a different file in DHP or HPT.

    HPT was talking about making a handheld device a couple years back, but it hasn't hit the market yet.

    Thanks spade. Dhp? Diablo tuner? Or a file in HP? I'be never tuned before but might decide to jump into it if I go this route. I know its not a very simple task. But with all the info I've seen on this site I'm sure it can be figured out.

    DHP = Digital Horsepower. A tuning software like HPT where you don't have to purchase credits for each vehicle.
    HPT= HPTuners, in my opinion its the best solution right now for 3800s becuase the company is still in business and there's other peoples tunes and a forum on their site.
    Diablotuner does not work with a 3800, its a handheld tuner commonly used on trucks. It stores files and you can switch them quickly and easily.

    Tuning isn't that bad if you're willing to invest the time to learn. Its definitely worth it in my opinion, not only because tuning yourself means you can tune with every change to the vehicle, but the cost savings vs a shop tuning is great as well.

    You can find used hptuners for a couple hundred. It only takes 2 credits ($50 each if you have to buy them from hpt) to unlock a vehicle, then you never have to pay another dime to tune.

    Taking "tunes" from other people is a bad idea in any situation.

    Dhp is he cheapest and has the most features.
