What are the benefits of using HP Tuners?

HP Tuners offers several advantages compared to many handheld tuning devices. In most cases, diagnostic software, dealer-level diagnostic tools, OBD-based monitoring devices, scan tools, gauges, and other vehicle accessories can continue to be used normally while a tune is installed.

As a best practice, we recommend restoring the stock calibration before performing certain dealer-level programming or software updates, such as Ford FDRS or IDS programming.

Additionally, the HP Tuners Restore file generated from your original stock read is a true and complete copy of your factory calibration and controller data. Because HP Tuners devices do not permanently marry themselves to the vehicle's ECU, customers generally do not need to worry about long-term device-to-vehicle associations if the tune is removed in the future, such as for resale or returning the vehicle to stock.
