[QUOTE=ron@proautotech]25 Years experience as a trainer on engine Management Systems
Ls1 Edit
Proprietary Engineering Software
9 years experience on Gen III engines
Of the 19 Callaway C12's that were built I programmed 12 of them
this is a 200,000.00+ vehicle that maintains complete emission regulations and produces over 450 HP from 5.7 Litre's
At $150.00 for tuning and unlimited dyno time I hope your Tuner
can stay in business in todays market.
Your right, I know He has to charge others more. It takes Major bucks to
buy what you need to tune them Dyno etc. We did mine at 2 am.I think I got by cheap and didn't pay full price

No one is doubting the tuner, just the one guy who claims 415 with a CAI, catback and a tune.355 is possible with bolt ons, but not just CAI and a catback.

I'm working in Danbury, Ct right now and we're having a good time. I've been racing at E-Town and we'll go down and visit the house at Christmas.

We utilize the latest dyno and software from Dynojet
No inputs from the operator are alllowed-- Dynojets
weather station does all the work- Fudging air temp,
air pressure, humidity, density altitude are impossible.
Earlier Winpep software the operator did the inputs an
allowed for some cheating variations!
All vehicles are baselined as they arrive at the shop
Then the tuning begins and the gains!! Guaranteed Increase

There will always be cheaters. Dynos are just tools anyway, and way too many 'tools' place too much value on dyno #'s. JMO.I have heard good things about your abilities. If I were closer, I would swing by.
