What Would You Do If You Paid $500 For This Tune???
Alright guys, so I got HPtuners a while back and got a chance to look at the first dyno tune that was done to my car.
I thought the numbers were low but I wasn't concerned at first because the VERY reputable tuner (forum sponsor) told me that those numbers were about normal for my car with my mods (another identical car with the same mods later made +20hp over mine on the same dyno with the same tuner).
After looking at the tune and the a/f at WOT (12.0-12.2) of the tune I was shocked to see how little was done. I understand that this was probably a mistake on the tuners part because he is well known and usually does fantastic work. My question to you is what would you do about it, if you have already found another tuner that you are happy with and do some tuning yourself?
The tune is attached.

You know there's no point in critiquing someone's tune. You're just going to get the following excuses:
1. oh i have fifty years of tuning experience
2. The car works right?
3. VE/MAF tuning isn't needed. EFILIVE designers even told me this
4. It's the customer's fault
I tune my cars myself. I know I can take the time and do it right instead of having to rush or hack a tune.

You are also the only person in MANY who has said there was nothing wrong.

I didn't look at anything else but PE and HO Spark. I agree that raping IFR is not the way to do it. But each to their own. Not touching VE or MAF cals is pretty common for bolt on tunes sadly.

i dont understand the reasoning behind raping the PE or ifr table. just log the run. take the AFR error to commaned a/f and apply to MAF.. wala. done. and done right.

Got a chance to look at a tune from this tuner on a cammed car that they did the install and tune on. MAF and VE tables not touched again, TQ management left alone again...no wonder the guys car tries to die sometimes with the A/C on...
