i just had my car tuned by seth up at moon, he set his afr’s to 11.5 and made his maf settings and on the way home i was pulling a 10.0 afr so he came down and “street tuned” my car to help dial in the settings more. For some reason this needs a slight tweak on the street to help ensure it’s getting it’s best performance
now even seth admits that most cars do benefit from small tweaks to the dyno tune on the street. it’s mostly and afr thing more then timing and maf settings, but there still is a good reason to do “street tunes”
my only problem is that you need a lot of room to do a full 3rd gear pull, i know i go from 30-95~ in 3rd so i’m not really sure where your gunna have the open room to do that, and if you do it on a public road your asking for trouble at those speeds
If you want my serious opinion, dyno tunes get you in the ballpark and track/street tuning finish it off. If I were to show you guys a datalog from my Corvette on the street vs. dyno, you’d bet money that it’s not the same car unless I told you.
This isn’t about whether a street tune is acceptable. I do my own tuning and it’s done on the street. The original comment was about what’s best and it was suggest that it’s a street tune which is retarded. You cannot set the timing on the street nearly as accurate as the dyno. Depending on the dyno but you can tune individual cells with load.
Sure, real life driving on the street helps you dial in the AFR but I’ll take the timing first.
no b/c my timing is maxed out already right now so all i need to do is get my AFR’s set and i’ll be good to go, which is still really rich, stupid AEM meth kit
