What to Bring

  • A Windows laptop with its charger – not mandatory, but strongly recommended. During the classroom sessions you use it to walk through the Impact tuning software (IWS TunerStudio) with us, so you leave knowing the software.

  • A USB mouse (much easier than a touchpad when editing tables)

  • Closed-toe shoes or boots and clothes you do not mind getting dirty – this is a working shop

 

Laptop Requirements (if you bring one)

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit)

  • At least 8 GB of RAM; an SSD hard drive is recommended

  • At least one USB-A port (or a USB-C to USB-A adapter) for your FASTTUNES USB drive

  • Administrator rights to install software and drivers. Company-owned laptops are often locked down – check with your IT department before class.

 

Software

The Impact ECU is tuned with the Impact Wiring Solutions edition of TunerStudio. The free version is all you need – no purchase required. After you enroll, we email you step-by-step install instructions 14 days and again 7 days before class.
