2.2 HP tuners question

What exactly do I need to purchase and also from where to install and HP tuners tune on my 2.2 supercharged cobalt? There seems to be a lot of information and places going around and I just need some straight answers. Like on their site which package do I need and what other accessories? Also will there be a tune already sent to me for a 2.2 supercharged cobalt?

No tune will be sent with it, if you want a tune sent to you go with trifecta. If you still go with hp you will have to find a tuner near you. You can either get the standard or the pro, the pro lets you log wideband.

He can also tune by email, doesn't have to find a tuner near him.

And a laptop for data logging

But the tune itself is a separate cost? What do I pay $500 for on their site then?

The tuner will send you a canned tune, and then you data log, if you try running boost on a stock ecu bad things happen.

I'd do some looking around to see if anyone already has hp tuners around you so you'll only have to purchase the credits and pay them a small fee for using their hp software.

yeah since youre a boosted 2.2 theres a little more tuning then normal might be easy for you to figure out, just depends on how quick of a learner you are.
