HPtuner was $500 initially and that included 8 GM credits. I went in with a buddy, so I paid $250 initially. I had used all of my credits before I got to the truck, so I paid $100....then I burnt up that ECM, so I bought another ECM and had to pay another $100.

The program is user friendly, however there is a steep learning curve....and I'm somewhere on it (still learning). I was able to do some worthwhile tuning on my corvette, get the truck up and running, and tweak the transmission shift points for both my silverado and G8. Since I have all GM vehicles its worth it.
