Making full throttle maps is the easy part-- getting the car to run well around town on and off the throttle, cold starts, etc is where the real magic comes in. and just getting a car to idle and run full open on a stand alone can take some serious time, especially if you’re totally new to it like me… but all i’m going to say is that I had my car ‘close’… it would start, run and drive… after only the first 30 minutes in the hands of a professional it was seriously night and day difference… and what i had programmed in after hours and weeks of messing with parameters, was essentially throw away. haha --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-record-hp-on-the-dyno/201088)._
