[04LTRB]

Hey all

Jus spoke to a dyno tuner in Windsor about getting a tune

He said he prefers to use HP software is it any good

He also said he could get around 430hp at the wheels

My car is

04 xr6t

Manual

185,000

HDI intercooler

42lb injectors

Upgraded valve springs

Bigger fuel pump

4" dump pipe w/ 100 cell cat, rear muffler removed

Battery relocation kit wit custom intake

Ive got a act xcal 3 unit ,but he doesn't like using them , should I go somewhere else

Any help appreciated

I'd make the trip and see CMS in liverpool or Autotech in granville.

I'm from the blue mountains and use CMS.

If you're going to leave your pride and joy in the hands of someone else you want to be sure they are reputable and the best at what they do.

Hundreds of the guys around Sydney will vouch for the two I mentioned above.

my farther in-law had his 07 super charger mustang tuned by the guy in Windsor indy performance I think he's called seemed to do a good job he's happy.

I had my car tuned by autotech does a good job also.

I'd like to know what the difference is in Terms of what HP Tuners vs SCT can do for our cars other than having a box that holds 3 Tunes, and whether it's worth it to pay double the price for a SCT Tune if the car can be tuned just fine with HP.

To the end user who is not privy to engine ins and outs (such as me) the difference in result is minimal from what I've seen. There are more things available to edit in SCT but the main bottleneck is the operator of the software, and there are plenty of fast HP Tuned cars about.

[ratter]

end result is pretty much determined by how much time or knowledge the person pushing the buttons has or applies to it, but HP does not cover as much as SCT and it may not have any affect until the car does not behave as intended, that can then be where the difference comes into it, but saying that, I see many people that are happy to accept an average tune based on a dyno number or 1/4 time

Totally agree ratter!! after having my car re tuned I cannot beleave how smooth it is!! I was getting led to beleave that irratic idle and stalling was normal.. how I was wrong!!
