Hey Lazer - thanks for chiming in on the details of how HP tuners works. Tuning cars myself is the one thing I never got into due to the cost of the software and time required to learn how to do it right.
I can't say one or another whether my tuner has a license that didn't require my computer to be unlocked or not, but the guy at the front desk (not the tuner) told me that my total fee of $650 (including tax) included the fee to unlock the computer of $100. I went to True Street Motorsports in North Texas and they have been tuning cars for over 25 years and they know their stuff. They also have a loyalty program where they can modify the tune anytime if I change anything in the future for $100 per hour on the dyno. Doing some price shopping from other local tuners and having an LS swapped 65 c10 tuned at LG Motorsports 2 years ago I can say without a doubt that True Street's fees are market pricing for tuning in my area.
Take care buddy and btw... love your car!
