just a few days ago, i watched the 2.4 i was tuning go from 12.9 to 13.2 AFRs while working his timing table.

its usually not much. but its enough that i usually go back and work the maf once or twice more after im done the timing.
you beet me to it, lol. changing the timing did change my a/f ratio, moving them more to the lean side which could be dangerous.

I grounded it to one of the bolts that connects to the metal frame around my fuse box inside the car.

You could always ground it to where one of the stock grounds go inside the engine bay. It will look a lot nicer. Also if you are grounding inside the car, usually in the drivers side kick panel there is a good grounding point.

I used a little nut i found under the dash, have all my peripheral stuff grounded there, no issues here either.
I dont think you need to worry about your ground, but as long as your AEM has a solid power source.
I tried running my AEM and Interceptor off the same input, and the interceptor could barely even power up.

that sensor heater in the AEM draws some serious juice i think.

PM me for details/pricing.

Note:
I am comfortable tuning the 2.4SS and 2.0SS. you can PM eccentric or Cruisn for reference on my tuning.
Fueling or Spark tuning will NOT be done on your car unless you have a wideband.
no offense, but hptuning has always been avaliable in edmonton, campbell automotive has been using it for years, and has done hundreds of cars, 5-6 lsj's i know of for SURE.

they have some really good deals, 3 of us spent 15 hourson the dyno and including 100$ for the licensing, it was about 400 each.

i would assume your option is the cheaper on the spectrum so still very valuable.

I never said HPtuning wasnt available in our area before me
there are actually alot of people around with HP too.
it was just my way of saying, im available for tuning sorry if it came across the wrong way.

Im not going to say much on Campbells automotive.
other than to say, I wouldnt let him tune my car if it was for free.

in fact....even if it was free i wouldnt let him touch my car.

actually cutie, the dyno is at campbell, its in the back shop

i think you are confusing yourself with apex, which was the other dyno shop that yes did go bankrupt.

campbells has been around 40 years, and nolan is very well respected, hes gone through tuner training in the states, and has a hands on relationship with hp tuners.

if anyone in western canada was trustable he is. Not to mention my car along with everyone who has gone there is running perfectly.

you really going to put your name to that lie matty??

Im not getting into this with you. because its not my place to throw this crap around on the internet.
If people want to go to campbells, thats their choice.
Im merely offering my services for tuning.
I have my opinions. you have yours. lets leave it at that.

im 100% with your opinion, but i know for a fact mine and jmac's lsj's ran great with nolans work, and one guy who doesnt visit the site, his name is neal, drives a black redline, his car was also tuned there, and ran great

And i just called cause you scared me about the dyno, but its still there, and very operational.

nothing i said was a lie. i should have specified everyone I KNOW that went there with an lsj is running perfectly.

as for my name, i work in the industry, i sell performance parts for a living, and from my experience would send a customer to nolan and mark at campbells.
