How to/ where to tune?

[RideWithPride]

It seems every thread says "tune it or it will suck" type answer, my question is where do you get a tune? Loike going to a dyno and shoving out hundreds of dollars for a 180 tstat to work?

Best answer: HPTuners and a lot of studying.

If you can't do it yourself, find a dyno shop.

^ Pretty much.

Basically, in order to get the most, and get the car running exactly how it should, you have to tune different parameters in the cars computer.

Best bet is to get HPtuners, read everything you can find on it, and play with it. There is a learning curve to it.

The next best is to get a street tune. Someone with tuning software will literally ride along with you and log data on their laptop. They will then make adjustments, Rinse and repeat a few times.

Then Dyno tuning. Arguable whether dyno or street is better, because street tuning in 'real world' and dyno tuning isn't. Take the car into a shop on a dyno/tune day to save money, or cut a deal with them if you bring in a few other people.

Obviously you dont have the have the car dyno tuned for a T-stat, but any serious modding, then yes. Any pulley drops, then yes.

Venture over to the PCM tuning section and read the stickies.
