My 07 SS/SC is being a pain in the **** also. We finally got HPT to scan my ride, we did some tuning and then found out that I had a bad 60lb injector, so we swapped the 42's back in, put more of a stg2 tune on her temporarily till we could get my ride back on the dyno to tune her right, and today she wouldn't read AT ALL. Man am I aggravated. HPT wouldn't scan my PCM at all, we tried everything except hooking it up on the bench, which we will try at another time. The shop was hella busy, soooo...I have to take it easy yet again, and hope for the best next time we try.
I just don't understand how it would hook up, and scan with no problems one day and the next it won't even scan the PCM at all.

GODDAMNIT!!!!! I went today to get my car re-done with HPT at Performance specialits and what happened?!?!? The new HPT program crashed his lap top!! Not only that but it wouldn't let him access my car again! He had to pay to have it towed to the Chevy dealer and pay to have it flashed back stock....AGAIN!!
UGHHHHHH!!!!
I swear I just CAN NOT WIN here! Well Jeff was really cool about it and he paid for y car to be fixed no no hard feelings from me AND he wants to try it again once HPT figures out why they're newest operating version crashed his lap top like that. Jeff also found a few other cool things to change that Steve and DOC didn't! He's useing the pro soft ware so he think maybe he get to stuff they couldn't have.
Well I'll keep you all updated as to when and IF it ever gets tuned.

DOC said he didn't know it 100% but he was willing to try, no harm, no foul. Jeff is the local authorized HPT dealer in the area and he has the program and when he went to install it HPT crashed his system, not his fault at all either.
Why should I not go back to someone after their system crashed and they PAID to get my car flashed back to stock at the dealership, he also paid for the rollback to get it there. Seriously what more could he have possibly done to fix a problem caused by HPT?
IF you know of someplace better I'm all ears.
And I'd hardly call DOC a wanna be tuner.
