how much money are you looking to spend? and what are your plans for the car?

I would recommend an SCT xcal to tune with....unless you know alot about ratios and what not...its a good idea to get a dyno tune at a local shop....with SCT, it comes with LiveLink, you can data log all the stuff you want on your laptop....

No.. That's a scan tool. Has nothing to do with tuning. Checkout Sniper tuning stuff (About $420 with interface), and SCT proracer/xcal combo (Proracer $350, Xcal2 about $350) if you REALLY want to tune yourself.

ok lol i was just wondering if it was possible to tube at a cheap cheap price like 50-60 bucks

im interested in tuning but not right now i dont have anything really to tune. It would be cool to eventualy be able to do it all myself. I guess ill invest in the scanner stuff just for kicks and to start learning how to interpret the information from the car. thanks guys

if you are really looking at tuning yourself go with the sniper tuning special forces kit. it allows you to creat as many tunes as you want. and you can upgrade to the comando sofware late for about $250 more. go to there website and check it out. Welcome :: Sniper Tuning
