What will a Dyno-Tune do for me?
Hey all,
I hear of so many mods and of course the Dyno Tune is one of the things people seem to rave about. However it's usually mixed in with all the other discussion as to what perks cams give, etc. My question is, how significant is a Dyno-Tune to the entire picture? What does it generally cost including the actual tuning? I dont just wanna know what my HP/Torque is.
I suspect it's a significant advantage - sort of the icing on the cake?- however I'm curious to know in and of itself how significant it is I guess. I assume it "maximizes" what an motor can deliver in it's current configuration? Any disadvantages to it? How often does it have to be done?
Thanks!

It only has to be done once for each build you do to the motor. You'll need to have either a Power Commander or SERT if you are EFI.....that is what they use to adjust the fuel delivery and ignition timing.
It does give you the best possible performance out of your build, and at the same time it also makes sure you are in the safe zone for the AFR so no engine damage is done from running lean.
They usually run around $250 or so for a full custom mapping, and it's well worth it to get the power the motor should produce.

I agree with Steve & NoGood.
Judging by your signature line, you have more than enough in the way of mods to justify a custom tune!
You'll be shock by the results, if you have it tuned by a quality tuner.

The build is the hardware and the tuning is the software. They've got to play well together or it just ain't right. Whenthe tuning isright, you'll have smooth running/acceleration at all throttle settings and rpms. The price is usually more for SERT tuning and the PC tuning should run what the guys above are suggesting.
