lets just say i wont run with a zfr on my lil m62 but i would sure have fun trying.
Buying terms cable will only have unlocked cars, no tune files.

here is the honest truth. both cars were very good from the factory. they both have character and features that make them unique. but when it comes right down to it they are both just cars. the lnf had direct injection the lsj didnt. everything else is able interchange with each other. on the lnf your limited to being turbo and limited in injector size. with the lsj you can run any combination of sc, or turbo, or injector size you want. i like to tinker with cars and parts, so naturally i would like the lsj due to it being capable of having just about anything in it. it really means nothing, in the end they are both essentially the same car. in the big picture modifying cars is nothing more then past time for men to sit around and bullshit about.

Ya I know that. I want to learn on my own. I have no problem asking for help or having someone show me but what's the point of starting with someone else's tunes. I'm going to take baby steps go to the dyno and see what I can learn and do this summer

Learning from someone else's tunes helps a ton. HPT is a pretty complex program. I've learnt a lot from my tuner and had has allowed me to play around with the current tune he did and understand it much easier. TC is even more complex than an lsj.

well if term was nice enough to sell his cable to him i am sure if he asked term would give him some advise. i know the others will too. just do yourself one favor. learn all the platforms, i feel it would make for you to become a better tuner. please tune responsibly.


well the next time you have a lay over in calgary inform us. both me and jon were here the last time you had a stop over. we found out to late to say lets meet up.

I've just been taking my tuning skills in baby steps. Honestly, I don't have the patience to spend all summer screwing with my tune to make a decent one haha. That's why it's been great having taylor around. Sitting first hand and being taught as we go. Then come the shenanigans lol.

I really hope to spend a week in Cowtown this summer and stop just passing through it for a couple hours lol. I was there again a couple weeks ago but my connecting flight was only like 30 min apart so sadly no time for lunch.
