UpRev tune... Changing maps?
I think I have decided on the uprev tune... As I have never tuned a car before, how do you go about changing the maps? Do you have to plug it into a computer?

It's integrated into your cruise control buttons. Up to five maps. Cruise control LED will flash, indicating which map you're on. Eg.: 94, 91, stock, valet, and anti-theft.

For sure! I've had it for about eight months now. Although I'd wait if you plan on getting any performance mods, and have it UpRev dyno tuned to the additions.

Yeah changing maps is pretty awesome, you can even do it while in drive, but I wouldn't do it. Not sure what would happen if you switched into a Valet or Security map while in drive.
edit: Although I have switched to my tuned map while in drive, just because I wasn't sure if I was already in it or not.

Not a one. With a cell count of 300, the F.I. hfc's are unlikely to trigger any cel's.

I have a CEL because im using COBB's prototype HFC's that never made it into production. Uprev has the ability to disable the CEL signal from the O2 sensor itself if you do get one, btw.

Uprev Tune cost
When I was there in person, there was sign posted high up on office wall...
Tune was $100 per hour and each tune takes about 4 hours for a Dyno run only it was $135 Buzz |

This is probably a dumb question (and I'll admit I did not diligently search), but does cruise control still function after the tune?

20whp peak gain for me. At lower RPM's I was seeing gains as high as 23~24whp.
cruise will still work after uploading multiple maps.

I wish my tune got that much... I didn't even get half of those numbers you got from my Uprev Tune...
