my car needs a tune but i'm on a budget.

I know I can do the timing and the TPS myself. but I can't do my SAFC and I NEED TO because I am running pig rich. Racetune guys are cool but I cannot drop 800 bux on a dynotune........what do you all recommend??

800 bux seems like a lot though.

You could spend half of that on a wideband AFR with some kind of dataloging capabilities. Then just tune your SAFC to the outputted data.

Hey, ATP Racing in fremont charges 100 bucks including the wideband an hour. (or they used to) They will also tune the the s-afc at no extra charge since its really easy and they have to run the dyno anyway. They're really cool, give them a call.

See my thread above, we can probably cut you a deal(since Brian would only be tuning WOT fuel). If you are interested, LMK. I'd say ~300.00 roughly. That would be 1/2 price, plus dyno time, plus some share of Brians flight. I'd have to talk to Brian, but it is a possibility. Carl

...tuning is a bitch..I still need to find a tuner for my Microtech lt-8s..I think I can get the basic tuning done, but the fine tuning so I produce a nice smooth line for my dyno....thats what I need a tuner for.
