when it comes to tuning a car, is there any difference between tuning your own car with a wideband o2 sensor and having it dyno tuned? What advantages does someone at a dyno have over lets say a person with a sniper tuner and a wideband sensor?

 

Well I am a try believer of the street tune as long as the tuner uses the same software as a dyno. Don't get me wrong, I used to be "only tune on a dyno" until I had an actual street tune done. The both have their pro's and con's but on the street is "real world" scenario!!

 

well i'm just thinking for the future when i finally get some real mods, if i invested in a wideband and one of the sniper tuners, there really would be no need to go to the dyno? Given i have all the proper knowledge at the time, the tuner at a dyno would have no advantage over me tuning it myself correct?

 

Dyno tune isn't worth the cost until your slam full on bolt ons, or F/I. Tuned my GT last week with the SCT SF3 and it drives worlds different, much better.

 

IDK how it is with GT's but I will only run a dyno tune on my car.

 

Why??? As I stated above if the tuner has all the tools(wideband, datalog, ect.) what would be the difference???

 

ill be getting a nitrous street tune, only reason my car will see a dyno is for those numbers we all like to talk about

 

I agree with most of you. The only disadvantage to not having a dyno is to see what you're making like dimebag said.

 

mine will go up on one when they bring out the mobile one to the carshow they do around here every summer, just for braging rights...

 

what car show is this?
