It's all a learning game. No one came into this world with the knowledge of how everything works.

Like I mentioned before the dsmlink opened up a whole new world of tuning for me.

Before then all I knew was EGT's and which way to go with the SAFC settings.

I had no logging capabilites or anything else to let me know what happened when I changed something all I went by was what the settings were after an hr of dyno time. Ran the car on the street and then made note of where everything was at.

EGT's, SAFC Settings. Then when ever the temps changed or what not I just changed the SAFC Settings so that the EGT's were close to where they were on the dyno. (not really a good method but hey it was working well enough to make me happy)

Now with the Logger I can actually see what happens when I make a change. (and I can now understand a couple words of what Josh was talking about in that last post where as before I felt like Joey from Friends.

-brian
ps: in anycase it is your choice. SAFC is easy to use and understand. But buy a logger also.
