I wouldn't call it a "side job" so much as a hobby. I haven't gotten enough of my investment out of it yet to justify calling it a job.
 It just happens to be something I think I'm good at and something that makes my brain work hard (since my 8-5 job wouldn't challenge a monkey).

See, that's what I'd like to know. Do you think I could get started with tuning a 7.3 for under $800? All I need the Minotaur package? Then I have to buy all the different PCM codes too, right?
Have you tuned any D-max's?

Nope. No Duramaxes.
To tune your own with Minotaur you'd have to get with Corey. I am not sure of the price but you'd get a lot of practice with your truck to start with. I just jumped in head first with 13 definition files from Sniper and 4 from Bill.

Just check the price for the complete Minotaur package on the PHP website. you will get the MDF file for your truck or if there is a better MDF file that will work with your pcm you can get that instead for example my truck is supposed to use the VRAA7y6 binaries but I am running the VRAA6y3 binaries on Bills recommendation that they are better. even if you never do much with tuning seeing and analyzing all the parameters using Minotaur is very interesting and educational...

My grasp on everything is definately tightening. I'm sure I'll end up with Minotaur eventually. Heck, just my family owns 3 7.3's and 1 6 slow. All the 7.3's are between 99.5 and early 01!
 From what I hear, EFI Live is even easier than tuning the 7.3, but I'm not positive.
