Sean couldnt tune my Cam only T-Rex. He messed it up real good and told me i probably bent some valves. Before I drove it there it ran fine and just needed alittle adjustments. Once i left it was spittin and sputtering like a damn lawn mower. Trailered it to rpm and had it the next day running perfect. Sean didnt know how to tune a big cam I guess? He did give a refund though. tried all day to tune it but just couldnt get it.

 

Im gonna call him. I dunno why he couldnt tell me that. He was pissed that I contacted Joe myself.

 

Sean always sent cars he couldnt tune to RPM, mostly when he could get the drivability fixed he would send it to Brian at RPM.

 

Sean had my injectors nearly maxed out and my knock turned off when I added my spray, thank goodness I waited till it was on RPM's rollers to test spray it cause I could have had serious failure due to the tune sean had on my car.

 

come on guys dont post up speculation like this (bob)unless u have concrete postable proof. u could ruin a mans life/rep/carrer with comments like that.

 

When did all you guys have these tunes done? I'm not saying you're lying. I'm just curious when it took place.

 

Mine was about last year, Mellowyellow had a baby cam (226/226)that Sean installed and couldnt get the drivablilty tune right, his car was on the dyno countless times. Insomz had a G5X3 cam which Sean's drivability was way off and I know a bunch of other people who had the same issues, luckly SQR got my driviability spot on and RPM just finished it out with my N20 tune.

 

I have been going there for about 2yrs. 1st Chris R tuned it and then Brian did ,Brian's tune gained over 30rwhp over ChrisR's. Brian can tune a car perfect.Ask mellowyellow

 

sorry guys...theres no such thing as a perfect tune. Quit posting about it saying there is. Thats a good reason why Chris R is not doing them anymore...his **** stunk!

 

There is always going to be something slightly off when you only spend an afternoon, or even a day or two on a car.

Once you spend 3 months fine tuning a setup, you might get close to perfect, after much testing and tuning.

 

Will you people quit calling it a baby cam!!

also I cant see how someone can properly tune a car in 2 hours... i assume that the PCM must learn the cam..... dyno, tune, drive it around, scan.... tune...dyno.... should take 5 or 6 hours ....

atleast it does when i tune my GTP.... takes alot of scanning and reading logs to get KR down.... tune the LTFT and STFT's ..... etc. Never heard of it happening in 2 hours.

 

I know there was a point in time that he really didn't know much about tuning but within the last year I thought he learned quite a bit about it. Chris R didn't make mine idle worth *** in park but Sean fixed it when I took ti over there and it's the RPM4 cam.

 

Right on....

 

The problem i see is that no one has any good logging software programs here in the metroplex to know exactly what cells are being used at any given time and then adjust from there depending on A/F mixture. Speed density setups are almost identical to this and could really cure alot of issues these folks are having but then weather may change from the original time of tuning adn the stock sensors need to pick that up to adjust ever so slightyl for the change in weather. its all about time. And to be honest...for $400 did you expect it to be perfect guys? Time is money and you get what you pay for.

This is exactly why alot of folks choose DFI setups....And the only person Ive had personal experience with talking to that his one on his personal vehicle is Daniel @ SQR. He's also got a great backing with Job Spetter Jr a phone call away!

 

baby cam baby cam baby cam baby cam baby cam!!!!!!!!

 

To get driveability and cold starts down, the tuner needs the car for more than a few hours to get that right, and over night a few nights would be best, from what I've gathered and experienced.

Going in somewhere and getting 2hrs worth of tuning done and a few pulls isn't going to make the car start/run/idle/make power as good as it would with someone spending some decent amount of time on it and looking at logs of what the car does when you mash that foot actuated loud pedal.

 

( my favorite smileys)

whatchoo got?? just a buncha laughing gas!!!

 

Basically we need to just learn to tune our own damn cars

 

I completely agree! Hence why these guys are pissed about the loss of lifetime tune's with Sean and crew.... 400.00 should include taking the car in every 3 months for atleast 2 more times. (maybe once during the summer (hot) and once during the winter (cold)

 

Personally I'm going Speed Density with my tune, from SQR. Not real worried about the weather - it may need a slight adjustment in the late spring but I wouldn't think much. I don't push my car enough to have the tune on the edge.


Also, its not really the PCM learning the cam, so much as it is adjusting the tune for the cam, watching how the car reacts, and adjusting appropriately. Yes there are tables that "learn" things, and can be cleared, but for tuning they are referenced for logging purposes, thats not where the tune is at.
