Tuning help

That didn't need to be said, it was apparent after reading your previous posts.
Funny you won't tune a car yet you'll tear a motor apart and not think twice about doing it. If you're scared to tune a car for fear of blowing it up I'm surprised you'd tear apart the heart of the engine. Are you afraid of having it blow up? Why not have a professional do it?

It all depends on your set up. A couple bolt ons is not worth the money. You won't get much more power over a canned tune. A big boost fully built motor hours to days. I had to leave mine at the shop for a week.

I don't have many mods, I was just curious. They are an authorize SCT dealer and sell the tuners for the same price as American Muscle. I may get my tuner from them instead of online. I like to support local business. BUt I am not going to let them talk me into a dyno tune

Building an engine is easier then tuning, you can check and double check your work before there is ever a chance of hurting anything.

It depends on the starting point and mods. Three or four pulls will take an hour all together, by the time you get the car on the rollers, make the runs, and get it down. So for tuning too look at two hours minimum, three to four (or more) if there are a number of components that need to be integrated and optimised...

No need to get all crazy. Tuning can be a scary thing. If you don't have enough confidence in yourself to learn what you need to to fully understand everything about EFI then take it to a someone that is. I wouldn't see it as a fault but as being smart.

Checking and double-checking are part of any project, even framing a house--"measure twice, cut once"...
