All im saying is the giant internet myth that tuning a hugggeee cam car for good drive ability is so hard when its really not.
I did not mean people that tune their own cars are cheap skates by any means! If I had the know how and felt confident I definitely would. It’s just I don’t have either and learning on my car would not be wise on my part!
I could probably make my own conservative tune (to play it safe), but I’d rather get the most out of it as I can!
studderin has CAMS, you only have 1. thats why his car is harder to drive. lol
its the most frustrating thing in the world to drive a car that the calibration isnt quite right and you know just a tiny adjustment is needed but you dont have the hardware/components to do so. i went through that with my srt.
i used an lm1 with sct prp and an x3 on the ford. its awesome, but not being able to make changes real time kinda blows. i started with obd0 turboedit, its amazing how far honda stuff has come in the last 6 years, neptune is awesome.
and besides, chicks dig datalogs and laptops.
Nefmoto
Galletto
Vag-com
Tunerpro
WinHex
and others.
Ecuflash + Evoscan
Ive done everything my swap from first start-up, to the MAP conversion + hx35, and in spring e85.
My reason was both financially, and i wanted to know what the car was doing, and what changes effected what. I dont like just paying someone to get the car running, and not knowing what was done, and how what they did effected different aspects of the drive ability of the car. I also feel that now that Ive learned that much more about my car and how it should run, im that much better at knowing when something isnt running right, and quickly diagnosing a problem.
As for the other topics of ‘ill tune the cheap stuff and pay someone to tune my expensive builds’ - again, that wouldnt come down to the money of paying for a tune, just that if im building something and putting that much time/effort/money into a project. I would want to know exactly what is going on, and would rather learn how to tune the car and figure everything out on my own.
what are you talking about?
shitty joke, sorry lol
