Anyone interested in tuning?
 
Anyone in the Pittsburgh area interested in some custom tuning? I'm thinking about upgrading my HPTuners to do the H3. With HPTuners you can either get a single license (one VIN) or do every vehicle type for that year. On other vehicle sites, people have pitched in (much less than a custom tune) to get a complete year license and everyone got a custom tune.

Based on the PCM program for the colorado, there is about 10 more horsepower left with 87 octane, about 0.75 - 1.5 MPG better fuel econony, and some improvements in drivability. Also, you can adjust the odo/speedo for different size tires.

Any interest?

What do you think the cost will be per H3?

Not sure on price. If there are several people that get involved maybe $100 per person. I'm not looking to make money and go into the tuning business. Here is one of my previous articles on tuning:

A pro tuner will charge about $400 per tune.

I received some feedback and questions from this site and another site I posted this on. I am not selling a service - we are pitching in and buying a tuning tool. The normal HP tuners costs $500. It doesn't make sense if there are 5 local people to each buy an independent HPT package. What will most likely happen is that I'll have the HPT first and do a tune/tweaking on my H3.
I can either:
1) load my tune into your vehcile
2) you take over from where I left off and do you own tuning
3) you start from scratch and do you own tuning
My choices are to pay $170 to upgrade my current HPT hardware and be able to do only my H3 or we all pitch in $100 (for 5 of us) and buy new HPT hardware so we can do all of our H3's. Saving $70 isn't a big deal for me. The motivation is to open this up to local H3 owners who want to tweak their performance/fuel economy.
That's it - Fort Pitt
