This guide leaves nothing out and is the most comprehensive manual LaSota Racing has ever produced. It is a pure tuning guide, using HP Tuners tuning hardware and the basics of navigating/configuring HP Tuners software are skipped. That leaves more room for strictly tuning information. Even though HP Tuners currently covers 05+ years, we have included tuning information for earlier years also so you will be ready when they make it available. 100+pages of pure tuning information. Meant for HP Tuners Tuning shops, but also for the hard-core hobbyist!
