...and you want a custom tune, and you can't make the 8-9hr drive to CT. And there's a slim to none chance that other people in my area would sign up for a dyno day

 

Order a Mail-in like I did and get something to fine tune. ECU+, SAFCII, Ect.

 

what is BFE?

 

Butt ***in' Egypt

 

AKA middle of nowhere AKA Conway, Arkansas

 

4-BNGR

I probably would sign up if Al came to town, No AWD dyno in Raleigh though, but doesn't Al do a 'street tune' with a G-tech or something?

 

Wideband O2 + ignition timing logging. Not G-Tech

 

I do the tuning with the famous fat Al butt dyno and my ear - after tuning over 380 evos with custom tunes I have a very good handle on where to dial in the tune

If you look at the dyno sheet from the current issue of Turbo magazine - that one was tuned by me on the street

and this one was tuned by Dave Buschur - also on the road

While dynos are helpful to us for making the original research and testing of variosu parts and making general base calibrations, when it comes to fine tuning those maps for a specific car there is nothing like to real road driving conditions to accurately load the vehicle.

Its very difficult to get a accurate simulation of real world driving conditions on a dyno with a fan creating the air flow

 

If you custom tune it on the street how do you know that the tune is good at a different altitude/temperature/humidity then the conditions it was tuned in?

Not that a dyno doesn't have to account for these issues as well.

 

We count on the stock ecu correction factors to compensate for various conditions. Its actually a very good ecu and we have tested our tunes in a huge variation of temps, altitudes and conditions to verify that our tuning settings are safe under any kind of condition you can encounter.

One of the big advantages of traveling to so many distant locations of course is the data base we have on how the stock ecu reacts under all these different conditions

 

Ok! That makes 2 of us Is there any way that you can knock heads with the Raleigh Evo owners to see if they are interested?

Al:

What's the minimum # you need to make the trip to Raleigh/Durham NC?

4-BNGR

 

Thanx Al, =)

 

I need $2000 in sales to go down there - any combination of full custom tunes $500 per or update tunes $350 - or base flashes $199 will do it
