Do you have a wideband? HPTuners has a forum where you can ask questions. Also the tuning section on here has some good people.

Good luck.

True, I won't be breaking the record, but a car I built would have - and that would be great "track cred" for my shop.

Tomorrow/Sunday I hope to be knocking on 10s (or in the 10s) NA.
Here's some incentive.

I have the Innovate DLG-1 dual wide band. 1 for each bank.

Going to look into seeing if I can data log both of them with HPT since I have a data log lead for each.

For sure you can. If you bought a pro cable it'll be a lot easier to set up. YOu'll need to get good at things like PIDS. HP Tuners forum is pretty good with some beginners tips. Best bet is to find someone who knows it locally to help you or take a class, there are some places that do it.

I am just starting out with HP Tuners and tuning so any advice would be appreciated.

Now, I did not tune the car. Now, I have noticed a few things that are off:

- For platform, I believe it has me listed as a truck platform instead of Y platform - not sure if it matters.

- unstable idle, especially when transitioning from part throttle to no throttle.

- rev limiter is supposedly 7,000 rpm, but I do believe it is kicking in at 6,500.

- It is a little soft (performance wise) in 1/2, but pulls HARD in 3/4

- I also have an off idle stumble / part throttle to full throttle stumble.

I do believe that most of these issues are tune related.
