HPtuners MPVI2 help
Good evening,
i purchased this tuner from recommendation of the Corvette Forums. I think I made a good choice but after watching multiple videos and reading too
I’m stuck. Can someone share what I need to add to my stock tune that I downloaded? I have a 2005 stock LS2 with JDM air intake and manga flow exhaust. I found a few tuners websites that charge for creating a tune from $100 & up. I feel I already spent $399 with 2 credits already and I hoping someone could just let me know what to change to give me some added HP. Thank you

If only life were so simple. What you should do is spend a lot of time reading and learn to tune, or pay someone to tune the car properly. It is more than a matter of changing a few generic things.

I have to agree with this. Unfortunately, you have opened Pandora's Box and there are no simple answers. Turning is a lot of fun and I am not going to try to diminish that by saying you can't do it. But understand there is a fairly steep learning curve and it is not for the faint of heart. After I got my tuning software and my PC for that, I spent about $1,000 before I was able to really start tuning. You've got the cost of a wideband and then the cost of the tuning school and countless other items before I could really begin. Yes I know, nobody tells you that up front. It is possible to do without some of that if you have enough knowledge but unfortunately people with that knowledge or not generally your closest friends willing to give it up for $0. I wish you the best of luck, it is rewarding when you finally get there but I would recommend the tuning School as your next stop.

Thank you for the honest answers. I was under the impression there were sample tunes and I could tweak them on my own. Yes I looked at lot of info up, read and watched videos. I made a honest mistake. Can someone let me know who the best tune is for the money so I can have this done the correct way? TY

You own the HPtuners now, why not get The Tuning School and a wideband and go for it?

You also don't have your profile filled out with your location so there's no way anyone can recommend a tuner. Won't do a lot of good if you're in Boston and someone recommends a tuner in LA.

I second the Tuning School. I bought their home program a couple years ago, along with a wideband, and did a street tune (data logging, make some pulls, make changes to the tune, repeat.) I still have the manual for reference, which to me is a plus. At the very least, check out their YouTube videos.
