well.. what have you changed? Are you using a Wideband??

If this guy isnt confident in his tuning ability on the car.. then DONT let him do it.

#1.. if you want to get the most out of your tune.. GET A WIDEBAND!!! otherwise you have no idea what your AFR is at WOT.

#2. Get your fuel in line, get your spark in line. Make sure your temperature and barometric corrections are good. (this is why having a MAF makes life easy)


Here is a cost effecitve and one of the best widebands avalible. http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lc1.php

yeah you can get a "TUNE" but i sure would run when a guy is tuning my car without knowing what your AFR is...

These cars are tricky. Your motor lives and dies by the tune.
