Default HP tuner for Dummies?

Hey guys, I am finishing up my LS2 swap into a C3. I am in need for a tunning program and want to know if someone with no experience could learn this system pretty quickly, or is it real easy to make adjustments, that shouldn't be made, by mistake, causing huge problems.

I need it to shut off the VATS system and to monitor the sensors at the moment, Right now I want to know if the crank sensor is working, so I would like to see it's activity on the screen. I would also like to learn how to tune my own setup, but only in baby steps, so I don't blow the motor, reading and learning before I make adjustments.

Is this system meant for some one with no tuning experience?

Thanks

Riggs

No it is not. You'll end up buying several hundred dollars worth of training materials (books/videos/etc.) to augment your purchase.
