protune Options

[Piah167]

this is mind boggeling... not as good? first off, if the shop uses a dynojet or dynapak then you are going to get a worse street running version then you would be going through the logs, if for no other reason then the sheer difference in load values between real driving and the dyno. and as far as not having wideband... that is situational. an LC1 from innovate costs around 150, using romraider, you can tandem log the wideband info into your normal set so you DO get everything. Plus you get the true engine load per RPM to know the correct setup to use in the real world.

I ma not saying that its ideal one way or the other, but you cant say that remote tuning is inferior by any measure. there is a place for everything, and personally I'd rather spend 150 or less and take a week to get everything ideal then spend 500 and hope I get treated right. Still never found a shop tuner that I've talked with that didn't come across as a total douche.. but thats a side story.... but they exist for a reason.

I'd go with Testes myself... and will again for my next tune within the next 2 weeks.

I couldn't agree more!! My emailed personal protune tune is far better then the dyno tune the car had previously. Like I mentioned before, it was the best $150 I have spent on the car period!

My "just fine tune" will knock your pants off lol

Don't get me wrong, I've emailed plenty of logs to Ed and received map tweaks as a result. I'm just saying, all other things remaining equal, a tune with wideband data will usually be better than one without. It allows the tuner to fine tune a bit, especially with a big turbo/uncommon setup...at least that's what Ed has told me.

And you're preaching to the choir about road tunes. I prefer them by far, especially to a crappy dyno. We're super lucky in NorCal to have nothing but Mustang dynos and road tuners.

FWIW, Ed actually moonlighted with the idea of mailing a wideband logging kit to remote customers but he started his own shop and doesn't remote tune as much anymore.

That's very believable. It always comes down to the tuner...unless the previous owner changed parts after the tune...
