OK, I have the Z06 running again, and I need to do some general debugging before I trailer it a couple of hours south for a tune. I have HP Tuners hooked up to the car, but I have used it basically once to pull the tune that was in the car, and to reload the startup tune I got from a friend.
I don't want to be a tuner, I'd just like to know how to lean it out at idle, see if I can get the flex fuel sensor turned on, maybe turn off the damn messages that scroll on the DIC, that sort of thing. Enough to be dangerous, basically. Oh, and I think I'm going to add an AEM wideband and interface it through the ProLink.
There's tons of Youtube content out there, but I'd like some feedback on stuff other people here have found useful.
Thanks for any and all responses!
Goat rope garage is the best I've found so far.

Granted, I just got hptuners like a week ago and am still looking for good stuff too.

I've spent quite a bit of time on the HPTuners forum (GM Gen3 section) absorbing all I can for the P59 I have in my LQ4/4L80/7875 '61 Chevy Apache.

This is the video I found most helpful when I first got HP Tuners.

Also a lot of other great content on that channel. They're from Canada (eh) and build some neat cars in the garage.
I've had HPT for over a year and still have not taken the time to learn it. I will also be checking out the above links.
Thank you all for the links! I actually had the Goat Rope guy up on Youtube when I wrote this; I'm going to watch a few of his videos first I think.
SkinnyG, I think you have almost the exact combo in your truck that I'm building for my 65 Nova. 5.3/4L80E/turbo, in the works.
