Is calling everyone who wants to get a CAI but refuses to do the tune a ***** and they should trade in the keys for something else going to far?

Yea I agree with you. Everyone bought THEIR OWN stang, and can do whatever they want to it (except make it a ricer) And we can only provide opinions, not judgements

I ran a K&N Aircharger for many months until I got my Brenspeed tune. Car ran great, and I had no problems.

I have the K&N. Put it on without a tune intially. It felt a little bit quicker, but that could have also been me just thinking it should because of the CAI. Then I got a tune and felt a huge difference.

Hmm, seems like my tuner came up short - any idea what parameters are tuned other than spark timing and fuel - I saw these being changed but are there others that he may have missed?

Thanks,

Yeah the second run with the 93 tune was done with 10c hotter ambient. I think the dyno (dynojet) accounts for difference in temps though and scales the result accordingly?

Thanks,

There are many things he can change but honeslty just find a different place, you shouldnt have to be the one finding this **** out, he should know it already

Yes that's true he should be the expert, if I do find a good tuner will I need to purchase another tune file from Brenspeed etc firstor will the tuner know what things to change using the XCAL2 and just work from first principles?

Thanks,

He should be able to do it from scratch....I know your from peoria which isnt that far from some decent places....it would be worth the trip to brenspeed which is probably 5 hours from there, and

there is Sutton HP near Chicago

http://www.suttonhp.com/contactus/

A nice cruise to a great shop will always be worth it and you know brenspeeds rep, you wont do any better.

I am from Manito btw but I dont remember anyone that came highly recommended from the peoria or Pekin area....

You're welcome.
The dyno printouts should state whether the results are SAE adjusted for both the tuned and non-tuned runs.
