Ive had PRP for a while but really just lost at where to even start so I was looking at his book and the DVD, are they worth it? Does the DVD help much if you already have the book?
LaSota SCT PRP book and DVD, worth it?
- Thread starter DSG2003Mach1
- Start date
Get the book, or both.
The DVD is a little slow and dated, but still good. The book is great.

The book and the DVD are great and will help a lot. I bought ym entire setup from Don and cannot say enough kind words about the support you get from him.
Agree with others that book is very informative for the novice. It helped me alot. Not much on DVD in terms of tuning, more for helping navigate the software
ok, so the dvd is really more about finding your way around the software than anything? Im comfortable moving around it, changing individual values or entire tables its just where to start and what certain things should be when logging etc... Ill just get the book and start from there I guess
ordered the book but Ive gotta LOL at the shipping prices, +$5 for the printed version shipped making it $80, ok fine...another $25 for USPS priority? GTFO, a flat rate padded envelope is $6.
I just downloaded the book. Lots of info.
I know this topic has been covered, but question for the guys who've jumped into the self tuning world. Can a guy like me, who has a good grasp of computers and knows how engines operate, but has no clue how to tune, really learn this stuff well enough to do it right?
I'm seriously considering investing in PRP because I just don't want to be at the mercy of a tuner anymore. As good as he is, I don't want to rely on anyone else anymore. I do all the work on my car besides assembling the bottom end of the motor.

everyone had to start from scratch at some point...the package from Lasota seems like a good setup to get started from, it seems like its just knowing where to start so you arent chasing your tail and having an idea of what things look like when working properly
I dont even know that I intend to do the WOT tuning on mine but if nothing else I like that Ill be able to spend as much time as I want on driavability and such, time that most tuners arent going to spend unless you have a big fat check to write them (or things that dont happen the dyno or happen that frequently)
Met a guy yesterday with a procharged 2v that he tuned himself and he was praising of this.
I was very impressed with the kid and what he has done. This has sealed the deal on me looking more into this stuff! :beer:

I just took the jump and purchased the Pro Racer Software. I have a pretty unique car. A 93 coupe with a coyote swap and a F1-A Procharger hanging off of it. All the tuners where I live won't touch it. I was working with another tuner and he was great. He is very busy and some logs got lost. He was kind enough to set me up with a base tune for the car. After reading the book from LaSota I am confident I can tune it. I will get my dongle tomorrow. I have already signed the user agreement and downloaded the software. I can't wait!
Whats your combo?
Make sure you buy your PRP from Don Lasota, he'll set you up with a base tune thats pretty close you just fine tune it in from there.
These are definitely the responses I'm looking for. I have an 03 cobra with a 7679 comp turbo that's part of a half hellion/half custom turbo kit. Pretty run of the mill to be honest.
So I got my Dongle and loaded the base tune. Did a quick log, did some math, corrected the MAF table, Set the commanded LAMBDA, pulled timing, and HOLY COW!!!! My car runs like crazy! It was super easy! Still have to do some fine tuning but i can not get over how simple it was. A/F cruising is 14ish WOT is 10.9.
just got my book in the mail today, looking forwarding to reading through it this weekend
Is anyone producing a guide yet for 5.0 coyote engines?
