What did the have to say about the tune the pb came with? Do they know that some corrections should be made? it seems like my cars running good, w/ the pb, but havent had it dynoed. but i did think that the pb would have made more of a differance than it did.

thats why we do not trust the almighty butt dyno...... and that is why i dont trust most of the people that say "whoa man i installed this and it feels good on all the power band" that statement is pure B.S.

If i were you i would. I lost $20 bucks but found out that my car was running lean ,and since my car is daily driven $20 was nothing. Next $100+ for all of the tunning which i hope works

It's just speeding....
Pretty much, and a street tune only requires a third gear pull, you can do that on any on-ramp legally.

I havent looked closer at the crank sensor..... but im not comtemplating it yet as a viable option... Waiting for that haltech is making me crazy. But seeing how the cam sensor rotates to the same side as Mirages.... the way the crank has to be moved should be pretty much the same way....still nervouosly comtemplating the option... you know what happened when done wrong

yeah I order one piggy back as well, any hint on how to setup it with different octane could be a really good idea.

You need expensive Dyno tuning or you need expensive equipment to start playing with the piggyback. I've decided to get some expensive equipment

I'm having a blast spending money and learning about how the piggyback works and how my cars ECU works.


Did I mention i'm broke

I have an appointment on Monday with a tuner to make sure everything is ok with my car. 150USD per hour. Don't want to pay for it but it's better than f\/cking up my car. All this talk about the piggyback has gotten me worried and I know for a fact I would rather have it tuned properly than not there at all. I will let everyone know how mine goes too, since I am in NC the temps will be a little cooler (80F +/-)

I think in the end you'll be very happy with your gains. Try to look at it like its $150.00 mod to your car. Not only will they tune your car to be running properly, but they'll squeeze the most juice they can out of it. You'll likely get more performance out of it than you presently have. At any rate, keep us informed and good luck.
