If not, I'd just go ahead and buy one they're about $300. You're going to pay more than that putting it on a Dyno at a shop and even then it's a crapshoot if it's being done by someone who knows what they're doing.


Easiest, quickest, fastest way is to get the FP3. Plug in, download a map, flash the ECM and roll. All easily doable yourself.
Right on, thanks alot for the info i will look into that.

I was the same as you not knowing anything about tuners, but V&H customer service is pretty helpful. It is really easy to use.
I just read a thread where the FP3 only worked with 2011 and up FXSTC's?
