Marv ,Pete is saying that it's better to have the work finished by PCMforless,and probably realy for less...,a dyno tune section probably ends up with a 600-700 $ charge,PCMforless is able to fine tuning your calibration only if you give them a good datalogging,it's very simple,all you need is a cable connected from your ALDL connector, under the dash, to a laptop running a program like tuner pro rt or datamaster.then , with laptop and program running, you launch some datalog running on the road at different rpm range for some minutes, you replicates your rich condition at wot for some seconds,then save the datalog file and send it via email...done.Working on this data PCMforless it's able to correct the tables on your calibration,having it fine tuned for you.

So I started to look around for someone that can put the car on a rolling Dyno Tune the car around La or Kern County area that wont rip me off and charge me $700.00+ doing so if you know what I mean.

Plus I realy like to know on a real Dyno not on my computer program what H/P & TQ I realy pushing not just on a computer program.

So if anyone out there Knows some where that tunes and has a Dyno please let me know who to get a hold of.
$700 for a full dyno tune is cheap. I would pay $1000 in a minute, if it made the car spot on.
Looks like you are just dying to spend money, rather than finish the agreement you made with PCMforless.
Shame. They do good work, and you wont allow yourself the opportunity to be satisfied, at no extra charge.

Good luck with that.. When you find anyone in thats willing to take the time to dyno and tune a older car let us all know.
You should do some research and learn about Wideband and datalogging. It will be your best friend when troubleshooting problems like this in the future.
Just download tunerpro RT, its free..get a ALDL cable, hook it up and watch all the information you can get from the sensors on your car.

No am I Cheep I will order the laptop path cord I try that first.

Talking about Cheep anyone out there knows where to get a cable I found one for $50.00 I think thats kinda pricey for a path cord.

I shoot PCMforless a E-Mail already about whats gong on and see what they say about how to fix it.
Next Question I asked for a 700 RPM idle but the Chip they sent me is set at 800+ so I hope I can get this fixed at the same time.

I have try ed to reset base time just cant get below 800+ after the computer relearns it self go's back to the 800+ idle.

I just notice on U tube someone else had there set up at 700 RPM's there Idle what the idle sound I like.

Datamaster give something like 20 free logs.
Maybe the neighbor would loan you the cable, and save you $70?

Ya I gone to ask him he in the AF works about 3 Hanger down the flight line and lives about 100 yard down the road from me but just getting hold of him.

He has a 427 stuffed in his C4.

I know he puts his laptop on his C4 when he tunes his car.

like I said I know how to set up bike Carbs it just this Fuel injectors stuff I still learning about.

datalogging is simply recording what happened inside your engine using all sensors data recorded in a timeline file.After a datalogging section,you can play this file into your program and see what happened during that period of time,afr,maf data,temperature,iac pulsing....lots of thing that PCMforless guys use to fine tuning your calibration.Datalogging is the simple part...it's just collecting data,tuning it's the hard part...go down the road to your friend with the 427 he will show you how simple is datalogging...,again let pcmforless guys finish their job
