    Need to know more before buying

    Hi,

    New guy and potiental customer here. I have been reading about HPTuner for a while now. I have LS1Edit but not that happy with it. I'm a novice tuner, I don't even have a scanner which makes this product very appealing.

    Question: Will the scanner module tell me if I'm running a little lean (or rich for that matter)? Will the softwares online Help walk me through getting this information and how to modify fuel mixture settings if necessary? I've installed headers and I want to check this. I guess basically what I'm asking is will I be able to learn and perform advanced tuner functions with your software?

    Appreciate any and all information, Thanks

    You will be able to see the trims and O2 readings
    that give you a "reasonable" idea of rich/lean
    situation (as best as can be gotten from the
    factory sensors; not as good as a wideband O2
    meter, but close enough for a start).

    As far as being walked through it, the Help manual
    stuff is not that kind of education; it only speaks to
    the tool itself, not the carpentry. For that, you'd
    want to hang out on the 'boards (here, LS1Tech,
    etc.) and pick up your education the old fashioned
    way - on the streets.
