i have o48 rs and have purchased a lc-1and a/f gauge with plans to also get a tactrix cable .and try tuning myself. im running low on money and really need a tune my car is running like shhhh..
i have uicp intake apsbov tbe o2housing
my question is should i sell my lc-1 and just get a tune at my closest tuner(iveytune)?

 

All depends on you level of commitment. Ivey, Mellon....they are excellent tuners, but there is more then enough information on this site for you to tune your own car if your dedicated. Like everything else there is a risk but if you understand the concept of tuning and log log log log log log log.....and then log some more. You should in the very least be able to make your car run better and when you have enough money you can take it to Ivey or Mellon for a second opinion.

 

Iveytune.

 

keep the lc1, get a professional tune for the mods/boost/octane so the car makes good power, good fuel economy and does so safely.

 

Try tuning it yourself! Why not.

iveytune is the way to go. why risk it

 

Iveytune!

 

my vote's to go to ivey and get it tuned the right way, the first time!

 

I hate to be "that guy" but is your BOV recirculated? If not that could be the reason it is running like crap.

 

The aps bov is a 50/50 vta and recirc, absolutely nothing wrong with bov.

 

iveytune plus 1

whos ivey tune and how come i havent heard about them??? but anyways chris atmellontuning has been very helpful with all my questions..

 

i say self tune if youve got the time for it

 

if you're smart enough and can understand the concepts and theory of tuning you can definitely tune it yourself. Go buy some books on efi tuning and study them, read the ecuflash forum and try to soak up all the information you can.

after you have done this you can decide for yourself if you are comfortable tuning your car. If you do decide to tune it yourself, just make small changes and only change one thing at a time. It will take you awhile but you will be happy with the result. You will have to be patient.

tuning is not rocket science or black magic!

if you do decide to go with a tuner though, i would recommend Mellon
