If you have a bone stock car, with no mods and we tune it
and the next guy has a bone stock car with no mods on it, and we tune it, both will have the same custom tune.
If you have a bone stock car with a jlt and we tune it, and the next guy has a bone stock car and we tune it, both will have the same custom tune.
If we have a great custom calibration we have developed for a particular combo, why would someone get something different?
now, where the difference will come into play would be a special request, for example, you want your car to shift sooner, later, etc. something along those lines.
now, help me understand this. I could care less about the current tuner wars, I went with who I went with after the MM&FF article. I cut that page out, put it on my cubicle wall and when I bought my mustang and saved enough for the CAI, cat delete, suspension and tune I did it all at one time. I bought my LCA relo brackets from Terry, and my tune from AED... so I have no alegencies at all.
How does a tune on our motors factor in gas quality? That is what I thought the basic premise of a data log was for. It was to help determine how far to take the tune based on what your local gas was. If it's as simple as you say why did ford do such a crappy job on the initial tune? I figured it was just to make sure there was no POP goes the motor.... which if the wide band was good enough to detect knock with any tune how were tuners in the early days popping motors? I am no tuner, the datalog I did blew my mind... so much info coming my way I am sure with practice I would see something in the graphs but it was overload for me... LOL
I get it, there is a lot at stake as we all talk about if datalog is necessary.. . . I have been a salesman my entire life and when I sell a product I sell the hell out of it! I have no horse in this race though... I would like to believe data logging isn't necessary; it's a pain in the butt for sure. I just want a straight answer so it's easy to understand for me as I do revisions moving forward, and for others trying to make the call. Logically, I see the merit. EVEN on a simple bolt on car. But I want to hear it from the adversarial side to the argument, explaining how different all of our gas is across the country and our altitude.... humidity... etc.
