[QUOTE="Badass69, post: 823046, member: 17091"] I mentioned in the heads/cam thread I have HP tuners and I will be tuning my heads/cam/headers combo truck. Anyone else here tune on their own? For a backstory I asked this on the "regular" F150 forums and basically received back I am an idiot for doing it..... lol...... my reaction was "wow" to say the least. As an active member on forums like Performancetrucks.net..... home tuning is pretty run of the mill. I have tuned my own GM trucks with EFILive for a while and the HP platform is very similar software to EFI. I have pulled both the stock tune as well as an SCT tune I paid for out of my FX4's PCM. I will start from the stock tune to do my own.... the paid for one is okay but nothing special that I don't already know how to do. I got a lot of flack about that too from the same crowds telling me it's impossible to pull an encrypted SCT tune...... sorry to say...... HP does it with absolutely no problems. It's sort of bad in the sense that guys could easily hack and resell tunes someone else makes as their own...... I don't tune vehicles for the public.... I am greedy..... it's all for my benefit. I don't have any desire to deal with the public and the liability of selling tunes. I pay enough corporate insurance as it is with my actual business. In fact I will go further to say I know it works fine as I uploaded the SCT tune to HP, reset the truck to stock with the SCT tuner, and downloaded my "custom" tune file back in the truck via HP's software. Truck is identical to how it ran with the SCT flash so it's not missing parameters or something silly. HP has come a long way in the last little while to build a decent platform as an alternative to SCT...... and probably open the doors to a lot more places to tune Fords. The Copperhead PCM in the V8 trucks, Mustangs and whatnot was their focus so that's what's out there. [/QUOTE]
