Good Tuners?
Hi, I want to start off by saying I live in Richmond, VA and havnt herd of any good LNF tuners here. So I was wonder who here could tune me via teamviewer or what ever program. I do have HP Tuners Pro and I was planning on renting a dyno for a few pulls, is this a good idea? Any suggestions?
08 Cobalt SS
ZFR 6758
Full Exhaust
E47
AEM CAI
(maybe 20-40 shot of nos)

street tune is the best possible way to tune. i could ask my tuner if he would want to remote tune you. theres also KMO43 thats a member on here. hes out of canada but he does remote tuning and is a damn good tuner too.

Out of curiosity why do you think street tune is better than dyno tune?
it is best to street tune, at least as far as driveability and cruise, it can be hard and time consuming to get those perfect on the dyno. a chassis dyno however is the best way to tune for power.
Like sharkey said-power-dyno, street tune- drivability.
I was remote tuned by 09CobaltSS1 on here or John Mic as he is called on Facebook using hp tuners and have been very happy. I have a 93 tune and e47 tune. Car isles and drives very well and boost is ramped.
Hope you have a good trans with the 6758 especially if you are gonna use nos.

you can kiss my ass! not my fault you dont have the power in your car to enjoy the street. all you can do is hope you break 200whp with your supercharged 2.4l. your car would be perfect for a street tune because you wouldnt be able to speed anyways. i may not know how to tune like some of these guys but im sorry, tuning on a dyno to me is great for a baseline tune. your car when tuning on a dyno is going to come up to stop signs, twists, turns, acceleration and all that other stuff that goes into affect when driving on the street. a road is much different then a dyno. you want to do it perfectly, go dyno tune then street tune.

My car was 100% street tuned, and I've been thrashing on it nonstop for 2.5 seasons. As far as I know, it still theoretically holds the tvs1320/ecotec power record. again, 100% street tuned
my SS was street tuned, ran it for 3 years making 320/420 on 91, then 345/457 on E85 30 psi spike. THen EFR tuned. Never once had a hiccup, still was on stock clutch when i sold it.
my Subaru is street tuned. Im running 26 psi on E85 with a 7163 no issues.
Dyno tuning has its uses, but Street tuning is where its at. The only disadvantage is having to find roads that are clear enough to do pulls in.

the problem when street tuning for power is you really dont know where optimal is. the butt dyno is never accurate enough to tell you weather your small changes are making a difference. adding timing till it knocks then backing it off isnt optimizing the ignition table, adding timing till you dont see anymore gains is the best way.
i street tuned my cobalt, and i thought i had it pretty decent. tossed it on the dyno and a half a dozen pulls later its making 10 hp and 10 ft/lb more than it did on the street tune.
and yes, you can do cruise and drivability on the dyno, but sometimes you will need to tweak it a little on the street. you can simulate any conditions with the dyno (aside from weather changes), it just comes down to how thorough your tuner is going to get.
