newby in tuning
newby in tuning I just got ls1edit from this guy at work. Well he says i could a lot better time at the track if i tuned my car right. Well my car has already been tuned. Is there a big difference of tuning when you race at the track. Some lil advice.
the latest craze is EFI LIVE and HPTuners....
if your car is already tuned..either from a shop or a friend then you had it on the dyno and saw number improvements of around 10 or greater HP and TQ then you are probably good to go.
there really isn't a difference in tuning from driving and racing at the track..unless you want more or less driveability once tuned.
did you buy ls1edit? as EFI LIVE and HPTuners are FAR advanced from this, not saying you can't get the same power using ls1edit...it just may be easier with these newer programs.
I have EFI LIVE and I have noticed better driveability and some power from tuning...have yet to know how much as I haven't gotten time to dyno..but she sure feels stronger

The guy that did my tune only mess with the a/f ratio and tq management. But hp wise i didn't feel much. Thanks for the reply. He told that i probably need the updated version but i think it might be free from carputing. Any tricks or things i need to look for.
They charge for a simple email of software.
