Hey Everyone! What Is The Best Hand Held Tuner Out There? And Are They Just As Good As Efi Live And The Like For A Realitive Stock Set Up?

 

Most people on here are going to tell you to get a dyno tune.

 

All I jave done to the car so far is a SLP lid and Pace Setter LT's with off road Y-Pipe. I will add a 3:42 gear because i have a 2:73 now. Most dyno tunes are $350 plus. Thats what hand helds cost so I was just wondering.

 

I went through this already myself. EFI seems real cool, but I think a true dyno tune will give the best results yet.

 

Out of the handheld tuners, the Diablo offers the most bang for the buck. as far as handhelds go, it's pretty impressive. It has more adj parameters opposed to all the others plus datalogging capabilities. Since you have LT's and a ORY you would want a custom tune thru diablosport if you went with a handheld. But, like previously stated, ultimately you'll get the best result with a full tune on a dyno.

 

hmm waste 350 bucks on a handheld tuner, or safely tune ur car to its max potential for 350 on a dyno. Do a couple more mods and tune it on the dyno.

 

you should really try searching this forum, lots of info on tuners, also look in the tuning section of this forum.

 

just go with a dyno tune..... ITS THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!!

 

have a it done on a dyno bro

 

Dyno tune FTMFW!!!! do one, costs about the same as a brand new tuner anyway with actual performance gain

About the tuner, does not matter which brand you choose IMO...
i actually bought a diablosport predator for my brothers 02 z a4 a while back....
Didnt feel a damn thing... Its a good tool to recalbrate gear ratio or see what codes you have... but thats about it... worthless performance wise...
it got stolen along with the camaro, not too long ago....
