I read through the thread. Allowencer gave pretty good responses.
I'm kinda naiive on the subject of tuners but I assume this means the only other option now is HP tuners (when all the PTs are gone). A majority stated it is better anyway. Am I correct on this?

Not really better. The HPtuner has some tables that the PTuner doesn't and there is a customer serive for HPT.

Im nervous. HPT has a monopoly on the 3800 tuners now. Im ready for the prices to skyrocket.
Hopefully the cost of the powertuner will drop, making it more readily available to people like myself

PTs will still be useable just the same. Mine works completely, so I have no aspirations to get rid of it (unless I buy a WS6 or GTO and supercharge it and demod the GP).

Same here. Actually works better than it did in XP but I think it was a newer release.

I never got mine to work after hours of troubleshooting and PFYC and DHP were absolutely worthless for support. I returned mine a month after I got it.

$500 and you can only tune a few cars. My PT was $400 and I can tune almost any '97-03ish 3800 car.
Personally, if DHP refuses to continue support, I have no qualms tuning other people's cars.

I've ordered a couple other things from PFYC, and had to deal with their "customer service," and wasn't at all pleased (or helped). Frankly, all of my ordering will be done with ZZP.

Their customer service is absolutely terrible. After I returned my powertuner to them it took them MONTHS to process my refund and the whole time I was fightint with the guy to do it.

It's not PFYC's area for technical support on another company's product. And it makes it worse that the guy that coded the PT almost never updates it, released it with major bugs (some of them fry the PCM), and refuses to let anyone else help him with it, even if their ideas and suggestions are legit and they let him take all the credit. Come on. Important windows pop up behind everything else, sometimes it refuses to read the PCM you JUST tuned, random crashing, etc, and DHP DOES have terrible service. Which goes back to the guy that coded it. If he doesn't have the time, he should let someone else help, but he absolutely refuses. I\'ve always had great service with PFYC.

Same thing happened to me. The kept claiming that the refund (which, I might add, was only about $30, so it's not like they were losing much) had been done on their end, and that it should have hit my credit card by now. Didn't hit for 3-4 months.
