Your looking at $150 for the can tunes if I read hemi's site correctly.

It's 265 for the tuner with can tunes. Not sure what a "good price" is, but if you got your blank tuner for less than $100, I guess it was worth it.

Oh well I guess. In the end you'll be paying more for the used tuner and tunes than it would have cost for new tuner and tunes together. Chalk it up as a learning experience.

Step 4, watch your gas mileage plummet because your right foot has become magically heavier since adding your new-found-awesomeness.

I got my tuner yesterday and i LOL'd when I read this because it was so true.

^Glad I made someone laugh.

That is what happens though, everyone's foot gets heavier. Then they realize just how much MPG one of these things can net you when their foot is lighter.
