HP Tuners and NGK AFX wideband combo? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've decided to take the plunge and learn something about tuning. Since I'm going to do it, I plan to do it right and get HP Tuners Pro and an NGK Powerdex AFX wideband.

My research indicates that since HP Tuners dictates the price on its product, the only way to 'save money' is to buy a combo of the two. The cheapest combo I can find is 849.99. Anyone know of a better bargain?

PM me please, I'm pretty sure forum rules prevent posts with direct links to products.

Usually they package the PRO and LC1 for cheaper than that.. I have the AFX. Great wideband. Ive seen a couple used boxes show up on here for significantly cheaper. Might be the way to go.

Many times I see HPT sold used and it *LOOKS* cheaper until you recognize the value of the credits that have already been consumed. The units come with 8 credits. If you buy a used unit and someone has consumed all 8 credits, even if you only pay $250 it's still not a good deal because 8 credits costs $400 to replace. In that light, it would typically be better to buy new.

The AFX is a hugely better wideband than anything Innovate makes.

I used to use an LM1 but the 3737 sensor doesn't last. I stick with the ngk/AFX and it last 5 times longer. I have 245 credits on my interface.
