Yup and yup. It is easy to change injectors and timing... and just about everything else you can think of. Especially in version 1.5. B)

 

[BumpinGTP]

anything you want to change in your computer can be changed with this program, from MAF settings to trans line pressure

 

[Kyle]

And the new version has some even cooler stuff. Hopefully we'll get to trying them out soon.

WHat is better, Auto tap or HP tunners?

 

[BumpinGTP]

autotap is a scantool, HPTuners is a programer/scantool

 

[mybluegtp]

oh boy.... gotta start one of those threads now don't ya fredo....



lol

 

[mybluegtp]

No not trying to start anything just curious, because I really want to tune my car and if I can do it myself instead of going to someone and bothering them then I can do it myself.

I'm a DHP guy from the start, but if something else is better than i'm willing to try.

 

[dole21]

lol i know i was just kidding cause we'll get some intersting responses here before long I'll assume

 

[Kyle]

I've never seen nor used the dhp tuner so I cant say anything either way.
But I can highly recommend hp tuners, tuning the car and setting things up has been fun and has shown alot of results. You can do anything with it. Including control boost on the new version which sweet.

 

[J.E.T.]

I'll be getting a first hand demonstration of the DHP Powertuner this Wed. I'm ramped up to buy one or the other depending on which unit I can benefit the most.

J.E.T.

 

[s1gtp]

I think i have noticed ilgpc is above clubgp for the childness. we can have a good conversation without arguing

 

[BumpinGTP]

im with kyle, i havent had a chance to use the powrtunr, but i have messed with HPTuners on a few peoples cars and I love it. It is very easy to use and the Help files really point the way if you cant figure something out.

HP Tuners has a car running 150 in the 1/4 .... and right now the fastst FWD 3800 GP is using HPT ..... (HPT = HPTuners)

 

[J.E.T.]

Well what drives me slightly away from HPTUners is the fact that I have to start with a clean PCM. I've got the ZZP race PCM right now. For a beginer PCM tuner, I wouldnt know where to start modifying numbers. At least with the DHPPwrtune, I can read the ZZP PCM, and modify its existing content.

Do I have my info correct on the PCMS?

J.E.T.

 

[beyerch]

Each system currently has pro's and con's for it. For basic stuff either system will do what you want.

I could go on and on but I will refer your to our product info page at http://www.digitalhorsepowerinc.com/PowrTuner.htm

The only thing I do not cover on those pages are the new scantool updates we have but I will post screens shots and info if anyone wants to see them.

Our tuner will support any files on the market, including your DHP files. You can also use ANY compatible pcm hardware type for flashing which makes it extemely easier to find spare cores.

The cost for the non-A/D unit is $399 and $499 for the A/D (wideband and other external sensor interface). Software updates are free.

If you need head to head comparison referrals, I can get you in touch wtih 5 or 6 people that have used both products.

Thanks

you can buy a binary file to start with.

 

[Royalgtp]

DO you need an inteses PCM to run the hp tuners?


I have DHPs...that wont work will it?

 

[98 TGP TOY]

You dont need an intense pcm to run hptuners. You will need a pcm from your make, model, year and engine to edit it with the hptuners. You can not use hptuners to edit any dhp files, this would be illegal if even possible.

With the powertuner, you can use any GM pcm from 98+ years that have the same pcm part number. I just used a 2000 gt pcm that i got for cheap, and charles sent me a stock code to write to it.

I can say that the Power Tuner is very easy to work with. I have been using it for the past two days and have already flashed my pcm 3 times. I havent ran into a problem yet.

Also, I have some people on that dhp board helping me step by step through my tuning process, since I am new to tuning. I love my powertuner, and the free updates

I have not ever used or seen hptuners, and therefore will not say anything about that product. I will just say I love my powertuner. You should let charles get you in contact with people who have used both. There are supposedly up and downs with both system. Good luck.

well its your friend mike (josh H) :lol:

 

[Kyle]

I dont think u could edit a dhp with it, but i dont see how that would be illegal you can do what you want with your own stuff.

any regular pcm can be COMPLETELY reformatted to what you want it to be. like a 99 gt pcm could be changed to a 2000 gtp one, but a complete rewrite needs to be done. not sure if only the tuner version does that or if they all can.

 

[98 TGP TOY]

Ask Charles if you want to know the specifics, but im pretty confident that its illegal.

The hptuners standard system only does partial writes, and their pro system can do full writes. The dhp pt does a full write everytime, thats why it can use any pcm.

 

[BumpinGTP]

Ask Charles if you want to know the specifics, but im pretty confident that its illegal.

If you own something, you have the right to modify it at your will.

I think this may be what im talking about...
