Default Anyone happy with HP tuners?

I just got on their site for the first time. I was apprehinsive at first because I know a lot on knowledge on engines has to go into this so that was one of the reasons I didn't buy it in the first place. But the screen shots shows a pretty simple set up on how to tune things. Is anyone else using this program?

i am using hptuners. for me it works great. very simple and very easy to use. just takes some research as to what is what, as it is with any program. best way to do it is take your time. either way you go, edit or hptuners, there are a lot of people out there willing to help out...

I had my 01 Sierra tuned by rgvsierra using HP tuners. So far I love it. The trucks runs better than when I had the HPP3. I have messed around with hp tuners and ls1 edit software and hp tuners seems to be more user friendly. Maybe, rgvsierra will chime in.

Yes... you can even do more HP tuners because you can scan/log you truck. With ls1 edit you need to buy separate scanning/logging software like Auto tap or EFI live.

So you can turn the LS1 fans on and set temps?? Also do you need the harness from Allen to hook up the fans and does his setup turn the fans on with the A/C???

If you get the 2 or 3 relay harness they will turn on with the AC.

I noticed on their website that you can use either a laptop or PC. I understand the laptop but how can you tune using a PC??? Do you need a longer cable or do you justcheck stuff out on you PC??? Sorry about all the questions I'm new to all this stuff. THANKS!!!

You got it. Just a cable long enough to reach between the DLC and PC.
