2008 with Paxton sl1500.
I want to change my idle speed and fan temps. What are the best options to do this at home?
Thanks

HP Tuners is probably best. If you really just need to change those things, Diablosport will do it. Very easy to use but HP will let you do way more to the tune. I did not want to get real deep into tuning so I went with Diablosport.
