I know what Rab and Rollex are on about and I am pretty sure that stripes knows the feeling as well.

However once I got my car tuned at Monsta Torque, that all changed. Ask Stripes, he will tell you as he test drove my car. He felt the difference from his stock car to mine.

Yeah, your car was definitely a heap smoother than my stock tune! Massive difference in throttle response and power delivery. Everything was smoother than mine.

Rollex, I am pretty sure that Z2TT got his car tuned at XFT and I got my car tuned at Monsta Torque.

They have done what ever they needed to, to get the throttle response to smooth out.

I have no idea what they have done. I am not sure if Z2TT knows what they did either.

With all these questions from you, I am going to assume that you will be doing the tuning to your car.

You may want to get some more training on how to tune or possibly call the tuna that knows what he is doing. I doubt that they will let you in on their trade secrets though.

There are a few on here that tune their cars themselves. turbotrana, Ralph Wiggum and few more that I cant remember right now.

Maybe one of them can help out.

I'll be paying someone to tune it initially, then I will either recruit the help of someone with a HP tuners license or consider buying one myself depending on how happy I am with the tune. I've had experience with other tuning packages but nothing in the Ford/GM scene and at $1k for a HP tuners license unless I'm quite unhappy it might not be a worth while investment.

The questions here are more just so I know what is available and as prompts to ask the tuner to play with themselves.

Thanks for the help.

I'm no genius.. BUT.. wouldn't changing the way car comes on boost give a whole different feeling of throttle response?

Without changing settings?

Boost takes like 2 seconds to come on so not really, I'm talking instantaneous torque eg throttle feel.

Peppy, its called "The Ultimate Ford EFI Tuning Guide" for HP Tuners. Its a US publication that I bought online. It is encrypted so I can't copy, just read. Its not for Aussie cars but still applicable in some areas.

There is also a "Sniper" tuning manual that has some good info.

These are the main two that I know of and is where I got a main understanding learning the software.

Thanks mate I'll look into it, I have been talking to The Tuning School about developing something for the aussy fords using HP, sending them various files and such, they hinted early next year sonething will be available.. For the mean time I have purchased their GM beginners course and the GM 6 speed auto course, very interesting stuff, and some parts are interchangeable
