I street tune my SAFC-II on my 1st gen.

Wanna bet I find more power in your car?
I am so tired of people thinking their street tuned car is perfect. At the dyno day yesterday we had many cars near ready to blow that were street tuned. I think I picked up 100awhp on 3 cars total in 9 pulls, all I was doing was correcting things that could potential cause failures, or just allow them to make a clean pull, not even tuning for power yet.
Tuning is a serious business. You can have all the right parts in the world, but if you don't know how to tune you'll be shooting yourselves in the foot. I've made HUGE gains on customer cars with 1-2 hours worth of dyno time that would have cost them 2-4 months of "street tuning" let alone a ticket.
What is the price of a ticket now? $180 ish? (Think of the worst case senerio..90+mph in a 65mph if your lucky).
1 hour of dyno time (s-afc setups and most dsmlink cars) is...$180 and you don't pay for it with higher insurance rates for years to come...hmmm....
Now street checking is one thing, but with the availability of AWD chassis dynos across the twin cities and the excellent tuner across the twin cities, street tuning a car just isn't worth it. Now I know it is expensive for dyno time, I was there many years ago. I would street tune all the time. After you get a few tickets, get in some "near miss" situations, and realize the gains that can be made on the rollers, you'll never go back. I couldn't fathom how down on power my personal car would be if I didn't have the opportunity to dyno tune it.
