Thread: Heres my Mod order list. Looking for suggestions.

dyno tunes normally dont reflect how they act on the street. i would prefer a street tune over a dyno tune.

good point

And a dyno tune is done once. If you decide a couple months from now that you want to do something a little different to your car, you have to pay to have it re-tuned. Not to mention that your car runs totally different in the winter than in the summer.

With my tuner, I have multiple tunes for my car. I have daily driver tunes for mileage, summer tunes, winter tunes, aggressive street tunes for Friday night cruising, and all out race tunes. And if I change a mod on my car, I can easily re-tune it and have it running perfect again, and not pay anything extra.

Just my $.03 (damn inflation).

That is why I recommended a tuner....not an aftermarket PCM.

in your case, yes. otherwise you have to find someone to buy a case of beer for a few hours of their time to get your car in check.

there is no way youll be able to run all of that stuff with a stock pcm. it will still knock, probably a lot.

The guy who can do it for me uses HP Tuners and hes going to run it both on the street and the dyno.

I guess for me, it was either spend a lot of money to have someone else tune it, and still not be able to do what I want with my car, or buy a tuner and make my car run the way I want it to.
