HP shouldn't scare you . Thats not what we sell . What we sell is our ability to make it easy for you to get the most out of your car with out a lot of cash outlay [ when you look at the big picture ] and no questioning by the Dealer . The crank relearn has to be done at any GM dealer. I think it's a good Idea to have it done at a non chevy GM dealer or one you don't go to for service [What they dont know or can't see will not hurt them ] The guy at buick dosent give a rats ass about your Cobalt and he will gladly preform the service .

I can promise you no more CE light unless you change something after we send you a tune .

Lyndon Wester Develop's his own software.This way he can change anything nolimits. Just like he has done for the 4.2 in the trailblazer/envoy/raineer he was tuning them for two yrs before anyone else, 6.5 diesel,Duramax .

funny thing about the dealers , they are all tied into the same network

so any GM dealer can pull up any work done to your car by your VIN# , NO MATTER WHAT DEALER DID THE SERVICE WORK , so if they had questions to what was done to a pcm , and they see the cran learn and no pcm repair , and being that it was a cash deal and no warranty that will throw a MAJOR flag that something was done

i worked for chevy , i know they can pull up

and what difference does it make if , you , hp tuners , Westers Garage / Vector motorsports / Fast chips / Lavernois /SLP , do some tweaking on the pcm , the dealer usually cant see anything done to alter the programing from any company , i dont see what makes your special ?

granted if the dealer reflashes the pcm for any reason , all that work is gone , atleast with something like hp you can reload your last saved file , and not be with out the car for days or weeks

and i did look at your stuff , big deal you ask a few questions about location , weather changes daily everywhere

i know alot of gtp guys that tune their own pcm's , and they actually have several tunes saved for weather condidtions , and street use and track use

since hp has been around along time there is alot of dyno shops that are fimilar with their set up , and used to tuning , so tuning a 4cyl isnt much differnet , yeah you gotta do stuff slightly different , but the principal is all the same



as i said i dont doubt your tuning knowledge , but tuning each car is different

my personal feelings its best to tune the pcm in the area the car lives in

there is a big reason why alot of places that sell pre-programed pcms have droped prices way down , they know they cant tune 100% of what is needed and programs like hp's are alot better given people take the time to learn and use them properly

Do you have a custom OS for the LSJ or do you just edit the parameters of the stock OS?

We edit the parameters of the stock OS. I can't see a reason to do it another way .

This is your opinion and I'm ok with it. But what differance will a motor see in terms of location other then temp/humidity/baro/altitude ? You worked for chevy as a tech ? If so you saying you would document a crank relearn on a solstice or H2 ? I think not . I realy can see your point If your going to tune it you self .

As far a dropping prices that should indicate how much buisness they are getting and the time it has taken to devleop a tune . [ aside from sales and group buys ]

the crank learn , for a customer , a ticket is written up by the service advisor , and the ticket is given to the tech , the tech does the relearn , flags the ticket (so he gets paid) , then customer gets charged for said repair , then work order gets entered into the system

unless you got a friend that will do it free for you , you gotta remember not everyone has friends in low places , lol


and max performance , cant be done with a general program , that is the bottom line of what im saying

you might beable to get say 230hp outta a car infornt of you , then using the same program in similar/same modded car 1000 miles away , might only get 223hp , while 1 2000 miles might see 233

You would think so but the 04 RL is different but the 05-06 should be fine I'll double check and let you know .

Just a quick question...

I want to get GM Stage 2, AEM CAI & GMPP Catback. I'll obviously get stage 2 and the catback first, and then install the CAI. Once all done, or even before I install the CAI, think it'd be possible if I drive down and you guys install the intake and at the same time tune everything for me? Let me know! I'll be coming from Montreal hehe

Would you be able to tune my car and dyno it then some time soon around Atco? I'm only 15 mins. from there and that would be much easier. I could even do week nightes then, I get done work around 6.
