I have the standard. It should be all you need. You can store as many tunes as you like assuming they are all for your SSR. Otherwise I think you can do about 5 cars before you need to buy more credits.

Thanks Rocketman....

How steep is the learning curve on this unit? Can a 137 IQ handle it with some time?

Is there anything you want to do with it that it can't do?

You'll need a PhD in both Engineering and Mathematics. Your everyday English is good enough.

Ed, I'm not sure if you're aware that this isn't a hand held micro tuner? This is a computer program that allows you to alter many tables in your ECM through a laptop interface. It will do a LOT in the hands of a experienced operator and not much in the hands of a novice. You build the tune yourself with this program.

Yes I understand this. And I can screeeeew things up to the point of blow up! Keep your eye on me, I need your input.

But I can't drive down to Joe in Cali for a tune.

Im thinking he can mail me a tune if I have the way to install it here.

Then maybe make some babysteps in tweeking if I spend some time reading the HP forum.

I have to crack the 13's now I'm hooked.

Just read this week in Hemmings mag. 1969 camaro 302zapper witch I thought was fast as a kid. Only ran 15.20 in 1/4 as stock.

Touch base with Joe. He can set you up with a starter tune and you guys can share data for incremental updates. You should be able to pull the existing tune and send it to him as well so he can look at where you are now.
I don't really want to speak for him and put him on the spot here but I think he'd be more than willing to help out.

Is it possible to ship just your vehicle's computer to Joe for a tune?

Ya I'm waiting for Mike to give Joe some time off to respond. I know Joe offered to help as much as he could when I had the Michigan yankees do the install. He offered a start up tune then, but these guys did not take him up on it.

Pulling the computor is to much down time for me. as I only have 8 months of 12 to play up here.

Just fired off a e-mail to Greg for tranny quote.

You would just need the VCM Suite Standard.

With that we can log and tune your SSR no matter where we are. I can walk you through reading, logging and loading your SSR. We can e-mail tunes and logs back and forth.

Thanks Joe
I will get one ordered from somewhere soon.
I'm going to bump up the boost with what spare pulleys I have.
They did not install the magnavolt or heavy duty tentioner, Hope it 's not needed at low boost.

Better get that magnavolt installed so you don't run the chance of leaning out under boost.

So long as they installed the second fuel pump (03-04 SSR only) then he will be fine out to 10 psi.
