Long story - made as short as possible.

I had a Trifecta tune, had some warranty work done. Now the tune is gone. I debated putting it back on but decided (depending on the outcome of this thread) to go with HP Tuners.

Besides the cost of buying HPT, how much is a tune going to cost me, with very basic bolt-ons right now. And how much will re-tunes cost me as i upgrade.

Also, I am in Orange County. If I go HPT who should i talk to and how much better is it to get tuned in person/dyno vs remote tuning?

Thanks for the help guys

 

First off i think you want to post this in the tuning section.
I just weht HPT with my upgrading. If you purchase the software it will cost you as much as the guys time is worth. The big cost with tuning is in the credits required to unlock the ecu. A basic retune shouldn't be too much, however if you go bigger turbo it will cost a bit more as it's more work to tune. A remote tune and a non-dyno tune will be about the same effectivness. The big advantage of a dyno while tuning is the fact that throwing more timing doesn't always produce more or substantial power increases. Seeing this is the advantage of a dyno tune whereas street tuning you don't really know this point.
Hope that helps a little bud.

 

If you want a really good tune def a load bearing dyno tune will produce better results that a street remote tune. You can also remote dyno tune it will just take longer. The loaded dyno is nice because you can maintain a load at a certain speed that most streets will not allow. That being said I'm running a remote street tune for the time being. I will be updating the tune myself this summer, although it will most likely be just street log/tune unless I can find a good dyno around here that will let me rent if for an afternoon/day

 

Can someone move this thread to the tuning section?
