ESTurbo4 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I have a Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 now I had a Megasquirt before that. So far I've done all my own tuning. While I'm no ace at it, I have been able to get it to run and drive fairly reliably with both systems. You're probably going to run into snags here and there with any setup, but the folks here can usually help you with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 There exist very medicore tuners, just because they have a dyno or access to a dyno means nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 i've done both a Hawk and MS , Hawk is much easier but MS ain't that bad , you just got to stop and learn a little about fuel mix before you distroy the engine , it's also easier to do fuel then ign timeing , not sure why people think they have to do both at one time,,thats whats so great about a programable ecu , you can do any part or the entire system at one time , start small and work up with out changeing a single part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of systems are they familiar with or specialize in? they seem to use AEM mostly. but also tune Subies with the COBB AP. mostly an EVO shop and now getting in to GTR's http://www.streettunedmotorsports.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhq2ZtiudEA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbavEKxvugk Edited October 16, 2013 by importwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Those scooby doo's look really sick man i love it. what's a decent amount of tuneing to get it right?I guess it will take $1,000 to get it right because everyone's set is different and diff combo's.

Shelby Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 so isn't it worth learning a little your self and pay your self that $1000 and not some one else , a runable map can be found from people on here for just about any combination you can think of ,,we all run the same engine right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
