so they send you a programming device and you have to pay them to tune it yourself? i thought they would send a pcm already pre-programmed to just replace your stockie with.

x2....Keep hearing hpt is "close" on the 08 2.4's but been hearing that for a while now and have not found anyone around here with ls2 edit.

Curious as to what kind of tune they give you, ie: all top end drag racer tune or better mid range all around street tune.

I bought that tune from vince at trifecta, what they do is send u a kit with all you need in it, by the way make sure to remember the pad lock combination before you lock it back lol... you'll get a hp ipaq and the cable to plug the ipaq into the car, the obd2 port or something... it's located there under the steering wheel, so you just have to connect everything and turn on the ipaq, click start and about 1 minute later you will be tuned.. it's as simple as that. the tune is great by the way I have no problems at all.. the tune I bought was for my stage 2 with a 2.8 pulley.

haha I was about to say 14.4 but are you getting to tune to work with the spray or not? can't wait for numbers I would love to see only tune vs un-tune.
