I'm sure they have their uses.

My AutoCal can be configured for SERIAL WIDEBAND (sniffer).

Having tuned 1,000s of cars remotely, I've developed a way to datalog the cars remotely with a great deal of precision.

If your application is CAM, Supercharged, or RACE then you can upgrade to the serial wideband option and have all the

accuracy and precision of a professional tune done here in my shop.

We have to watch the words we use because the words "TRUE DYNO TUNE" have no real significance.

There are 1,000s of dynos across the country and using a dyno means NOTHING. It has everything to do with the

experience of the tuner (despite how long they have been in business) and the software he is using.

Unfortunately, in many cases the Corvette Forum consumer has been mislead to believe that using a DYNO adds some

magical level of perfection as if it was a MAGIC WAND that causes the tune to come out "PERFECT". Much of the time...not.

Call me any time and I'll explain. 914-332-0049

I used JustTune in Independence last month.
I am happy with the tune.. I added headers & ls6 intake along with
1.8 yella terra roller rockers & new valve springs. I am happy with the results
You can find his phone # on facebook search..
Just my opinion.. I too had a hard time deciding on a tune.. but I think
actually having the car in front of the tuner with dyno & WideBand O2 is
always going to yield better results
