I just picked up a used unit with 6 GM credits and a computer for $350 this weekend off craigslist to play with my Monte. HPT is always looking for new vehicles to add to the "supported list" and I hope to discuss with them about getting access to my Focus so I tweak for economy. The tune on my Monte right now has lean cruise disabled...wonder why I can only get 18mpg highway in the car

Some companies are open about tuning; others very tight-lipped. Seems like GM wanted to allow tuners in, whereas Toyota encrypted the crap out of their computers. Friends with turbo Scions all had to use piggy back computers or for stand-alone units because the 'Yota comp. was apparently one tough nut to crack...
