It took me 2 weeks to convince him I needed an update at which point he wanted me to prove to him that I actually had ASM 43lb injectors. My word wasnt good enough, he wanted part numbers which I didnt have. Like I would lie??!!! That idiot scammed me out of $500. Now I will do it with HPTuners or have Jeremy at RevExtreme help me.
Flyer - If I went the HPTuner route do I need a laptop for logging? I can just see the tuning myself thing get real expensive and then when I get it where I want it, I'd probably never use it again.

Yes you will need a laptop for HPTumers but it will save you alot of money in the long run. Besides, your tune can always be improved upon and the scanning tool is always a necessity.
