Need to talk to a local hot guy
Hey,
in town working on a dyne project and need to find a local near Worcester for a week .I need to talk to someone that tunes or has a shop with or needs a dyne.Only here for a week we really need some help.
Thank,

I don't know
I don't know who to blaim,
iPhone 3 or AT&T
It was quit the challenge trying to trouble shoot a dyno and controller over the phone.In the end I won!!
We have a load bearing eddybrake solution for tuning part throttle without having to hit the street.I sighn a lease this week on a four bay shop on I-10 this week.I will have two of my dyno's up and tuning ,the plan anyway?This project has taken a couple of years but I will be able to tune my own car without having to leave the state.The cool part is I own all the software ,dyno's and to set up with out having to take out a loan.This tool when finished will have a pre programer road simulation so the tune can be modified to the drivers needs.The engineer can simulate up and down hills ,stop signs zero to sixty times.The premis is not performance (Wot) so much as drivability.If I cared about the Horse power sweep I gues I can do that too. I just want my 2 bar maf/ SD tune to be perfect,hick ups, sputters and stalling is a drag.I have spent thousands and had six tuners work on my car over the years .I tried mail order, online wit Hptuners ,two trailered trips ( both cost more in damage to the car than the cost of the trip)This dyno project is a necessity not a weird exercise..the biggest heardel has been trying to explain the "Test Cell" theory to people that bought in to all the inertia dyno BS.It has it's place but a programable load control is much more accurate .We even have a throttle robot so the test can be totally done with automation.The partner writing the software does the dyne's for HD and GM so I have every confidence it will work fine.we will see?hopefully I can meet some of you in person in Indy this fall at our both(LSX shootout) ?I can't predict the future.,but I can keep plugging away.

nothing weird about it
I was in a jam and needed to talk to a dyno operator for some quick in put on what would be the best way to set up our system.We are writing our own software and one of the guys hates the Dyno jet set up.WE are down to a 2 page menu.

ok i'll bite
you guys are missing the point ,
if you have a question ,then ask.
this dyne will be a mpg test cell with true automated tuning function via remote tuners(guys like you) for those that need it(accurate with in .1%).This is for all Auto manufactures/ bikes are a possibility ? not just Ls.The performance tuners out there really do not come from the dyno manufacturing side of the industry. You guys can tune with what ever software you like and tune on the road. Talk to Bob at the tuning school he hasn't street tuned a car in a year and a half. NO need!
This is a completely different approach to tuning .Most tuners i have in countered are not ASE certified nor have had any formal training other than a couple of days to learn software.Some are great mechanics other can use a laptop not many out there that do it all.They are very busy and don't spend allot of their looking at anything other than what they specialize in.
This industry is heading toward regulation and it is being pursued in some states.The point is our package will be sold as a complete tuning franchise and the"tuner" will be loading the car on the dyno and the dyno will control the test(20 min data log with variable loads,tuned ,and re tested for 20 min up to 500 ftlbs tq. max) ,including the gas pedal.this way true road simulation can occur.the performance side can be a compliment to the mpg tune if it is up-sold.I started this project because i am an elec.tech /cnc machinist and class A all a round machinist.Read some of my adventures,not a pritty site.It seems all are "The Best"but i never seem to get it back right the first time.With all this in mind do i really want to learn how to use my HPT at 50?Not really.
Will i if i have too? Yes ,but if i can hire a bachelor degree mechanic with a working knowledge of Hpt then this would be much easier.We just found our first location to work out the details and the will explained to Pensacola and gulfport.Looks like one will go to central Missouri and maybe northern Ca.17 have been sent to Mexico for use as Emissions dyno's.We had to have them certified by the Mexican Gov.This may seem strange to you guys but i have seen a few of the performance shops close with in two years.This will be a product packaged and sold like an oil change,quick lube.The Franchise will be financed and the dyno will be installed after delivery.This is a complicated project and with 85 dyne's on the ground we have a big jump.The viability has been proven at Land and Sea as well as our own testing.Never know one of these could end up at our local Best Buy
I hope you to the best of luck and if you want more info just call,

PS: Just got one of the new Ecoboost f150's and Jay at Hpt say's they are working it now

I understand, your an engineer.
I know fully well how to fully tune a car on a real load dyno,hit evey cell for max power/economy with time/fuel ect. It's not hard to understand or figure out. An engineer just over thinks it.
For a full tune like that I charge $1500 because it has to be done in all heat ranges,intake temps ect and takes many days on/off. Is it worth it? No. Does the air flow affect the tune on the street,expecially with ram airs or air flow on a supercharger intake? Yes
We've done testing and also tuned some salt flat cars which have to be SD tuned at very high rpm/speeds.Always fun holding a car at 240mph steady state while tuning in the FAST system.

now we are talking
http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z35/mikefoote2000/
this is a bucket with a screen of something made for me to run my Clayton ct-500 water brake chassis dyno.
No i am not an engineer ,if i were this would have been done long ago.
You are in a group of few professorial tuners that understand what a test cell is for.You are the guy i will being working with.If you could tune cars on a dyno and even at a minimum had the operator taking voice commands while you used remote software to access their interface.Yuo could multi task and tune more cars per day.What i am purposing is a way to sell the tuners talent at many points of sale.Yes i understand that you can charge 1500.00 in your market but you would starve down south. Some local tuners charge 65.00 an hour and the high end is 500.00 but they are not reliable.This is a real problem for anyone here trying to build something other than a nitris car,most run bottle.Other are tune collectors and just flash off line(my level cut and past )I started with the diablo predators CMR's and quickly moved to Hpt.My plan is for a 299.00 mpg tune locked as a preparatory product.This is a hard sell unless you can prove it with a print out before and after.one hour per car.Performance is the up sell as is the speed parts .
We can do bikes as well.New is always hard to accept but just remember this tuning stuff is not very old.It will be a completely different animal come ten years.This is why i set up contacts in 4 other countries.
Hey you guy's might have it all figured out?
ALL i know is supply and demand dictates price.They well sell more software and some day they will tune themselves.Twenty years from now who knows.I won't be here to see it anyway.
If you lived around here i nevr would have had to go down this road.

I understand your fustration. We get a ton of cars to retune from other shops who just throw the car on a non-load dyno,do a few pulls and send the customer off.
I've found the easiest for most cars is to do a full street tune that takes about an hour due to my experience to get a decent base map writen.When happy on the street it hit's the dyno for high speed/high rpm/wot tuning.
Some cars are a bitch and take longer.

When I was up north I needed to talk to a local.In alabama things Are slot easier ,no inspections!
Now I'm in central Louisiana just back from Huston and wouldn't mind buying parts,but for all the BS this took I'll just look on craigslist
I get the keys for new shop Monday ,
Another complete dyno w/ control, 5 gas and diesel tune function ate on the way .
I will need help ,can't do it alone.
Mike trying to get back to mobile tonight for Cruz night,my catabolic be ready for anything that comes in from out of state next weekend.
Ps: The new f150 Ecoboost is fantastic .

Kay, first off, what the hell are you selling, posting about? You speel like a kid, but you claim to be 50. WTF?
I am an ASE master tech with L1 cert, and over 25 years exp. Emissions, diagnostic specialist, blah blah blah. What are you interested in?
Your new state of the art dyno that will require no street tuning. Would it be safe to assume it has a variable speed air supply? After all, you would have to simulate the airflow at different speeds. Can't idle tune a MAF if the fan is blowing 60 mph air across the hood. Setups like this are nothing new. I've used a couple different dyno cells in Europe setup exactly this way. Their systems over there tend to be quite a bit more sophisticated than the ones here in the USA.
Are your dynos linked 4 wheel dynos? You'll need this to keep ABS lights and whatnot off, and simulate exactly how a DBW car feels on the road. They tend to act differently while tuned stationary versus all 4 wheels rolling. How will you simulate the added load of turning the steering wheel? Things that make you go hmmmm........
If you're trying to sell something of higher technology, I would recommend better spelling and sentence structure. People might take you a bit more seriously. I know I would.

a kid at heart
I do not understand why some of the guys on this forum are so hung up on grammar and spelling?who gives a ****!!! ,this about cars not who is he most educated 
Give me a couple of farm boy engineers and we will walk all over the degreed types that can't problem solve their way out of a paper bag "WTF"indeed.What are you going to do grade all my threads and forget that i am here to help and get help?
I went to Texas yesterday to pick up and pay for a 3/4 nose for my son mike"s formula.the guy was down on his luck so i help him out,even gave him more than he posted for.
As for selling dyno's
Well that is something i tried already.Sold 14 this year.This has evolved to a bigger project.
why cant you just make a call instead of busting my ***** trying to make yourself look cool.You would be surprised how many X members I've met that were fed up with the collegiate attitude of people on this forum.Not everyone hear has the ability to writ a perfect column.I just do my best and the smart phone does the rest.I joined this forum only because i finally could by a vett and i wanted to learn how the new technology worked.I could work on HEI cars pretty well and do most anything i wanted without a forum,did this my whole life before all the new communications stuff came available.If you weren't so concerned about being such a critic you may just see an opportunity to participate in something new.Any way it takes all types
write a note to yourself or better yet talk to some older guys you know. They do not feel older as they get older ,their body's do but in our minds we are young but appreciate life a bit more.As you probably know my 22 year old son Mike died last year.He was why i was trying so hard to learn all this so we could have something in common.When he passed i had to reassess what i wanted.I have not had a JOB sense 1999 and did not want one.Now i nave his 94 lt1 car(Mike's) a z06 with a **** load of power and it seems a new business.It is a bit overwhelming but with the help i get from the "car Guys" i did all this with my sons so we could be closer .It didn't work out the way i wanted but i learned a long time ago to just do the next right thing and be of service when the opertuity arises
besides life is to short to be pissed of at every jerk off that doesn't agree with us.
