Um.
Well, lets see here...
Step 1, plug tuner into OBD2 port under dash
Step 2, watch awesomeness
Step 3, select a tune. Start with the 87 tune and work your way up as you put higher octane gas in it
Step 4, watch your gas mileage plummet because your right foot has become magically heavier since adding your new-found-awesomeness.

The tuner comes with 3 canned tunes on it.
Unless you went the cheap way and bought tuner only.

Where did you get the tuner from? Didn't it come with tunes??? If it didn't, first ya gotta have a tune to put in there.... You can get 'em from Hemifever, he can just email them to you. You should be able to upload them from your computer via USB cable, or some such.

Maybe you haven't read all of the forum rules, but when you break two rotors you lose the privilege of laughing at others for 48 hours.
