HP Tuner Questions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

thinking i may get HP Tuner rather than the handhelds. i'm kinda techy plus i'd like to do my Sierra Denali too! i'd like to play with the TM and i plan on a Super Charger at some point. my questions are:

can it save the stock tune so i may upload it as i wish?

even if GM flashes the ECM or changes the OS, will my HP Tune still be re-uploadable and good?

i'm guessing Ted at Jannetty can work with HP Tuner for custom tunes?

any feedback y'all think i should know before I call Ted to order one?

When do you your intiaal read you can save your stock file on your computer, it may be uploaded any time you wish.

If GM does an OS change/updates the software, or what ever have you, you can just re-upload your file and youll be good.

Anyone with HP Tuners can do a custom tune for you..

I believe the camaro uses 2 licences, HPT is shipped with 8. You can change the ECM as many times as you want for only 2 credits. The only time you would have to re-license your car for another 2 credits is if you or the dealer replaces the ECM.

Ill suggest HP Tuners pro, Its what I got, its just worth it in the long run.

Pro allows 0-5v inputs, such as a boost gauge, or a wideband, pro also allows data logging without a laptop.

I havent used HPT on the camaro yet, still deciding, I have tuned all my other cars with it though.
