Just out of curiousity, how does the tunes from EVO cost? I have B ama now but would like to compare. I can feel a huge difference with the B ama tunes, the car would pull harder through the gears. It might be to close to call without taking it to a tuner for dyno results.

I have no expirience with Fred's tunes. But I do know that my 06 pulls like a freight train with Brents 93 Jersey tune and C&L intake.

But I will say that even after having it for 5 months. The throttle is a bit too sharp for my taste. The lack of lag is great. But lag has nothing to do with how much the throttle opens with relation to foot movement. Sometimes I really like it as is, but lately like at night I just want a smooth ride and it is near impossible to stay in first long without bucking with any type of bumpy surface on the street.

But I have not addressed it with brent yet, and he did offer to change it anytime. So I just have to get to it.

Clubsfit,

Did Fred's tune cause the overactive knock sensor or do you think you have been riding around like that for a while?

Also what do fine tuning mean? Adjusting the timing, fuel, A/F??? What was the difference in power from Fred's tune with the knock sensor 'fixed' and the tune from the dyno shop? Where did you measure the A/F from? the tailpipe, cat, header?

Sorry for the Q's but just curious.

ORIGINAL: RUFDRAFT

I bought the SCT tuner from Brenspeed. But after the install and a dyno pull - only 297 at the wheels.

Then - I went to Fastlane Motorsports in Benson NC for a dyno tune with the SCT.

330 at the wheels. (with just the dyno tune and a dyno tuner - Caleb!)

Form your own conclusions.

You may or may not get the numbers claimed by Brenspeed - or any other retailer - without a dyno tune.

(they changed their ad's language after my experience)
were both the dyno pulls done in the same conditions and the same dyno? not to doubt the diference but to go from 297 to 330 with only a diferent tune sounds to much to me. besides just a tune and intake wont give you 330 to the wheels anyway.
