HP Tuners how-to

[youthpastor]

I bought HP Tuners to clean up the idle on a cam swap...and feel like someone handed me the blue-prints to the Golden Gate bridge. It is a very steep learning curve that I am totally enjoying, but the forums and how-to's are hard to nail down. Where did you guys learn to tune?

Crazy isnt it. I bought it then sold it. I just wasnt going to use it enough to justify the time required on my part to figure it out. Taking my car to a tuner instead.

Hp tuners has their own forums. Great resource.
and there are a few pretty complete tuning guides out there.

look for the cpig tuning guide.

Both of these explain things pretty well. and should get you well on your way to a good tune.

Thanks! I've been at it for about 6 hours today. Tuned the MAF, now working on Idle. I jumped into the deep end of the pool by starting with an E38 computer but getting there

Yes, just stick with it. It will take some time to learn, there is no doubt.

There is a pretty basic guide that will get you started on idle tuning right in the software in the tutorial files as well.
