Is that the same as a etune?

Steve,
I don't know your knowledge of newer cars,,,but i come from the old school era. (jetting carbs,reading plugs,etc...)
Then they came out with the hand held tuners for some....but now-it's all Laptop.
Mine has not been tuned yet-due to very limited bolt-on's;
But First #1, Find you a local shop near you (100-200mi. for me) that has experience with tuning a 370.
Dyno Tuning seems to be the best-with pretty much unlimited access to all calibrations & settings.
The Tuner will most likely steer you in the direction of the software that he/she has most experience with.
They usually get all the stuff you need & you will have to pay a 1 time license fee (around $300) and then you're ready.
Experience really pays off with the knowledge of the tuner....they know what initial settings they can start with/pending your additions.....Tuning will also help a bone stock car.
So,,,,,,Research the forum for a good tuner near you & go for it.....some of the members on here may actually tune their own cars.
PM me if you need any more imfo., i'm sure other's will add to this.
