    New to the tuning world

    Im new to all this tuning. I have a 98 Buick Regal GS that has a custom tune currently from someone else. But I wanna get into tuning it myself. But which kit would be best for me to start out with, the standard or the professional?

    I've already read tons of helpful info that's on this site and will continue to do so. I'm just trying to figure out whats best for a beginner like me.

    The Pro, the data logger is the only way to go and makes hooking up a wide band a sinch! Having the lap top in the car all the time when you are tuning becomes a PITA real quick man

    If you have plans in the future to buy a wideband and actually learn to use it...go PRO. When it comes to tuning your own vehicle completely you MUST use a wideband to do so. No you don't need the PRO edition to do it. You can DIY hook it up thru other means (waste of time in my opinion) and get same results. I prefer the PRO so i can setup quickly and tune multiple vehicles. My preference.
