This is still not making sense to me. You go to HPtuners to tune your car. You pay them to tune your car and somehow you get your money back? What am I missing Here?

HP Tuners is a programmer that is sent to you. You tune your own vehicle. They were saying you tune other peoples cars to make money back.

If you have to ask that question it means you dont know enough about HPtuners for it to be worth your money....
I would strongly suggest stage 2.
you will enjoy it, and enjoy your warranty. and in the meantime, start learning about your car and HPtuners....and look at it in the future.

you dont even know what hp tuners is and you want to buy it thats not smart , you need to learn how to tune before you even touch hp tuners and then its still hard bc theres no dyno to run your car on just the street

Could always tune on the street with the right gauges if you really wanted to...but personally would probably stick to a dyno but it'll just cost you some good cash.

To be fair, the thread starter (maybe he can confirm) might have meant either getting stage 2, or having someone tune his car.

Personally, I would say start with Stage 2, and tune from there!

Either way, good luck!

The guy that was asking what HP Tuners was is a completely different guy then the thread starter. Go with an HP Tuner. I wish i would have.
