Default RE: Tuner?

Without going into an encyclopedia of tuner knowledge, which, I don't have but I can find, here is basicly what one is.

Tuner-A tuner is a computer aided programmer that connects to your cars ECU or "brain". The tuner re-programs the ECU for new parameters to increase rpms, horsepower, torque, and many, many other options. Some tuners can even be used as a trouble shooting guide such as when you "Check Engine Light" or CEL is on. Tuners have been known to allow your vehicle to gain anywhere from 1 to 30(guessing) additional horsepower.

If that long definition was too long. Try this ghetto one.


Tuner-A machine you plug into your car to slap it like the pimp you are and make it your bitch.
