I am A.S.S. certified backyard mechanic and I've tuned at least 2 cobalt's so I have plenty of experience.

Because that person is one of the few on here that knows WTF he is talking about. Even though you could put down the money and dyno tune for the street and drivability it is safe to do on the street.

Maybe get an education on what a dyno can actually do. At least I own one have have done over 600 runs.

Really... If you are that ignorant, don't comment. It really shows how uneducated you are.

Don't think anyone is advocating street racing or tuning down residential streets. There are plenty of open roads where you don't have to risk anyone's safety but your own. Sometimes it is just the most practical option.

Do you realize the $7000.00 stack is identical to their most expensive 4 wheel dyno? The software is identical. The graphs are displayed and read identically. The only difference is I was tuning to the hundredth of a HP. I have a nitro-methand land speed record holder I built and tuned on it with my own port fuel system.

And you have????

I never discredited anything you have done in the scooter world. I'm pointing out that you are discussing dyno tuning automobiles and vaguely stating that you own a dyno as if you are dyno tuning cars in your garage.

Also, claiming your street tuning comments and your comment stating to ignore posts was "reverse psychology" is absurd. You aren't fooling anyone.

See... That's your ignorance showing. You can set up the properly equipped dyno to simulate any road condition you want. You think manufacturers still drive their cars on the street to calibrate them?

The GM, Ford, Chrysler Dyno lab in Denver which I have had the privilege to see in action can also simulate pretty much any temperature and humidity you could encounter. I worked in the Mile High Emissions lab for 5 years that had the original Dynos before they build the new Big 3 facility.

Your out of touch and most likely out of tune

Don't post what isn't true... anyone can go back and read previous posts to see what I said. It completely discredits you.

I believe it also has to do with the fact that, while some dynos are load bearing dynos and you can simulate driving pretty well. There are a lot that aren't. GM/Ford are not good comparison because they have the capital to fund expensive, complicated chassis dynos while your typical tuning shop cant buy these things.

many people dont live near any dynos. or they are hours away. Street tuning offers them the ability to do what they need, and if they are smart about it. IE Dont do it during ******* rush hour traffic or find a back road nobody is on. They are only endangering themselves.

I'll make it easier for everyone to "go back and read" Can you explain to me what isn't true?

You seem pretty adamant that street tuning is bad, based on the many quotes above. Yet you claimed your "ignore the post about street tuning" was "reverse psychology".

well we all now know HGT is NOT, i repeat NOT certified to reply on this forum since he doesnt know how to reply to multiple replys all at once............ better go see if theres an ASE certificate for that one then he can have 24 certificates

i would have been fine to talk about tuning, but for you to come in here and disrespect me, thats not gonna happen. we all know they both have pros and cons. you didnt have to be an arrogant person, thought you would have learned by now what happens when you act like that.
