Default Help Tunning

I just bought my HPTuners and just getting the hang of it. A friend has a stock 2003 Silverado RCSB and wants to see if I can tune it to give it a little more HP. I told him I dont really know that much yet other than the easy stuff like the rev limiter and speed limiter lol.
Trying to see if anyone could help me out with what I should do to give him a little more HP than stock. Thanks!

If you want to voyage over to my side of town (west side of Fort Worth) I could get you started.... I use EFI Live but I also have HP Tuners, but I am not as good with it...




BTW should have bought EFI Live.....

It is just a preferance thing... Personaly I like the scanner in EFI Live better than HP Tuners.... The charts, maps, filters, etc IMO are easier to work with and read...

I feel the same about our software, plus the added benefits of real time tuning for nearly nothing our software offers alot of value over anything else currently on the market.

Our software is intended to be the most user friendly on the market since we offer tuning for so many vehicles including Ford & shortly Dodge so we try to lay out everything so when going from one vehicle to the next everything works as seemlessly as possible. This is why when you take a config meant for a 05' Corvette & use it on a 98 Vortec powered 8.1ltr Truck most if not all the histograms, gauges, graphs will work exactly the same

Once you start using HP Tuners more you'll realize the power of our scanner & editor

I was not bashing it that is why I said it was a preference thing... I also said I am not 100% familiar with with it...

A little off topic, but I have to agree. HP Tuners looks and is WAY easier to operate.... I still wish we had more COS...
