HP Tuners To buy or not to buy

So...I've been considering this for a while now...and I now have enough money to buy the HP Tuners VCM Suite MVPI Pro Packages 6021 (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hpt-6021/overview/), but I'm still hesitant on taking the plunge. I'm thinking if I buy it then I could tune other Cobalts in my area with it and at least be helpful (Along with my own car)..but there's still Trifecta which is a lot nicer on the wallet but doesn't tune like HP does. Does anyone have a suggestion as for which one to go for? I have my ZZP Catless DP and their Hot/Cold Side Chargepiping on the way. I know I've probably asked this before..

You have a built in wideband, if you are only going to tune on LNF's then just buy the suite regular. Also, buy it from ZZP.

worth its weight in gold.

LNF - you need standard (built in wideband as mentioned ^)

LSJ - you need pro (for the additional wideband input)

I would not tune anything if you have no idea what your doing, especially on other peoples car, if you F up your own car thats on you.

I would get it for remote tuning, if you dnt know what your doing.


But when it comes to buying, look on LS forums and ebay for used ones. save you some $$ thats what i did.

Glad I know all I need is standard. Lol. Standard is 500 instead of..650? Lol. I would have the shop I normally go to and have them tune it with HP, but if anyone else in Oregon needed to use it I'd try and make it happen. I can't tune for crap
