I only got it 'cause of the turbo, but I really like the fact that you can alter the PCM to allow the car to run better than stock. Also, the HP TUNER Pro doesn't lose value.

 

Thats not really true- one just sold on clubgp for $400 IIRC. Having no credits left definitely hurts the value too.

 

Call up Wyotech in blairsville and ask to speak with Nate, the High performance powertrains instructor. He is pretty good at tuning cars. Johnstown isnt too far away from blairsville, Im sure if you could set up an appointment, you could drive up one day (or night) and have him dyno tune your car. Would be worth a phone call at least.
