I used to be a "tweaker" too. Now I just give it to shane, let him do his thing because he's about 10000 times better than me, and then just leave it alone.

If I remember correctly, Shane touched his first two engines...

but murlo didn't change a thing I bet during those tunes.......

[Murlo26]

I don't want to get into anything on my first two engines. Past is past.

Shane is still an awesome tuner and if I utilize anyone locally it will be him. I went to Jon D as he had been doing some Speed density type stuff and was testing a lot with Tephra. It wasn't quick at all to work with Jon given the fact he is far away but I have sorted plenty of issues.

That being said, moving on...

And I don't tune my car, I just monitor, try to fix if I can and send logs to Jon.

well part of it is I am always always changing my tune

Are you insinuating the tuner should be liable for anything at that point?

All I'm saying is I hear ya Murlo, I was the exact same way! A week after getting off the dyno I'd be right back on the laptop screwing around. With this car I changed that though. Decided to let the tuner (Shane) do his thing, and then put the laptop away and just enjoy. Which has honestly made it more enjoyable to drive for me.

I've never understood those type of people. Pay $300 for a good dyno tune, then start fucking with it. When you get a haircut you don't go home and fire up the clippers do ya? LOL

I think you are misinterpreting when I say I always change my tune. As I said in the above post, I am not tuning my car and have NEVER ever touched my tune. I didn't want to touch it stock let alone now. I am competent enough now to navigate the tuning software and log shit, but zero tuning is done by me.

My tune was redone from the ground up speed density style last year by Jon Draenas, he used to work for Cobb and is a very well respected tuner, especially of Evo X's. His evo X is still on the stock block making 600whp and has been since very early on. Mitsu even gave him a pre production ralliart to start tuning/playing with. I just loved the fact that he had an X and really spent TONS of time learning it and developing ECUflash with Tephra to get it right.
