HP Tuners hands down and I have used HPT for many years. I finished with my 08 Vette and ended up with 405/399 on a dynojet. It does take time to learn HPT, but it pays dividends in the end. I have known several people that learned to tune and they love using it. It is skill worth learning and lots of knowledgeable people to help you along the way.

Decided on a Diablo/Predator Tuner. Easy to use, adjusted the fuel trim & timing & ended up with 403 RWHP & 400# torq. Not interested in opening up the motor & installing a cam or any other expensive bolt ons. Just wanted to maximize what the factory gave me. BTW, I installed an SLP Loundmouth Exhaust & a Vararam Snake Charmer intake before the tune. A reasonable package at a reasonable price. Best of luck.

Sex is highly rated, too, but what if we didn't do that because we were unfamiliar or inexperienced with it at first? Jump in, man! If you want to get the most out of owning a hot-rod, grab yourself an HP Tuners kit and start tuning. The more you play, the better you get, and the faster you'll go. Naturally the chicks will follow...
