Hello all, I just finally bought HPT Pro so I can get into tuning. I know my way around cars, but have never done anything in the way of tuning. I have a '98 Chevy Monte Carlo Z34 with a "top-swapped" 3.8SC/ 5-speed manual; and a 2003 Silverado 2500HD 6.0 that will be my guinea pigs, so to speak. The Monte has a canned tune and the Silverado is stock except for dual exhaust and S&B CAI. I don't have a wideband yet as the HPT purchase wiped out my car-fund for the next month or so. I do plan on getting one soon though. Regarding tuning, I have been doing some reading and have a few beginner guides saved to get me started. My main questions are:
Can I do basic tuning w/o the WB for the time being? I know obviously that I can't do any WOT runs or anything until I can monitor O2 readings more accurately, can I do other things besides for the time being?
Second, I already have a few family/ friends that want stuff done, but I know almost none of them have nor will they want to purchase a wideband. Are there tunes/ ways to give them the equivalent of a canned tune? Or is this not a good idea?
Any help will be appreciated while I use the search function and pour over the forums.
