    what makes you think that street tune is better than dyno? the roller simulates laod on the chassis and engine just as effectivley as a street tune. Plus, its much easier to do FULL 4th gear pulls legally on a dyno than on the street, and much safer.

    we had a SRT4 over here a few weeks ago that had a turbo and intercooler and we made 423whp on it with race gas.

    We charge $100/hour on the dyno. we have street tuned and dyno tuned lots of cars, we wont street tune anymore because of liability and its just not safe and its not as effective.

    You need a loaded dyno like a mustang or a dyno dynamics to simulate the full weight of the car. A dynojet basically you are just accelereating against the weight of the two big roller drums which are not even close to the true weight of the car unless its a very light car. tuning on a dynojet works but i'd always put a safety margin in the tune just to be safe especially when tuning on pump gas.

    A street tuned car will always be better imo. You drive the car in the real world not the dyno room.

    i used to believe that too because that's what everyone said...however, i originally street tuned my car and the afr were nearly identical on the dynojet. that's when i decided to not street tune anymore due to safety, liability, etc.

    yeah,i think it depends on the car. Like i said i'd always tune it a little bit richer on a typical dynojet when using pump gas especially on F/I cars.

    Well, I've been told that the added air flowing across my intercooler at high speeds will lean out the car. Anyways, looks like I will settle for the dyno tune. I want to know what kind of #'s i'm putting down. If my fuel is rich enough can you soder the map clamp to the map sensor, and tune it. If my fuel isn't rich enough I will have to wait till I can get a fuel return line.

    Thanks

    we set up VERY large high flowing fans in front of the fmic. you'll have plenty of air going across/through it.

    you won't be disappointed.
