This was my mind-set also until I got hosed by two so called tuners by the sum of 1400 hard earned dollars. Now I'm taking my chances with Hptuners.

Right now you can pull timing and add fuel as IAT increases but you are relying on the speed of the IAT sensor which still may result in multiple seconds of WOT use without proper air/fuel ratio.

My preferred solution for a high hp street car is dual fuel systems and staged injection. Pricey but works perfectly and is more elegant and reliable than meth injection.



Blah Blah Blah, lean out fuel to make power, Blah Blah Blah, Car blows up not my fault, Blah Blah Blah...................

Just think if you stop being a Vendor on this forum, you could save a bunch of money by switching to Geico!

It's illegal to disable those by the way.

Not sure if you drank more while driving or wrenching but either way it didn't work out too well for you.

So yeah, your car leaves with perfect air/fuel ratio and optimized timing but it's my fault your poorly assembled combination made no power.

Belt slip, leaks everywhere, wrong parts, not enough fuel system, I basically wrote a list of things that needed to be repaired every time you brought it in.

Sounds like my fault. Cheers

Prefect example, blame everything else but your incompetence. Class act right here and you want to bring your car here. Feel free. I guess my ****** engine that holds over 30psi of boost that went over 20k since i threw ur great tune out. I'll take that any day. Keep up the class act. Next time i need to work on my car i bring it by.

Dan Bills at Finish Line Performance, Naperville is an excellent tuner. I have work with him for 8 years. I drive 350 miles for his knowledge.

There's only like a handful of tuners out there that I would let touch my car 3 of them are regulars on here.

Just FYI to anyone who's looking for a tune, I know one of these tuners does do remote tuning via team viewer if your interested. As long as you have a good wifi connection and RTT he can do real time tuning as well.

Mike was awesome when my car went there a couple of times. He went out of his way to make sure everything was right before I left.

Personal Experience? Negative...

Just hearsay from people I consider reliable resources.
