Help with which tune??

[IJUSTWON]

What is the best way to tune my car? Programmer, burnt chip?? Dyno is out of the question, but need some way to get things in order. Also who to go with?? Diablosport, SCT??? Any help would be appreciated.

SCT seems to be the most popular at this point

Will a sct chip be sufficient for my needs of tuning. And would going with the burnt chip or the programmer make any difference with the 2?

why is dyno out of the question?

 

[Give Me TP]

I wouldn't tune it at all without at least a before/after dyno session.

 

[IJUSTWON]

I don't have any dyno locations near me right now so a mail order, burnt chip, or programmer will have to do for now. Which is best?

i say go for a programmer

burnt chips can be a hassel if they dont get it right even thought they can be pretty good.

with a programmer you can check codes on the spot if you pull any. and theres datalogging features if you need a custom tune down the road.
as for programer out there theres sct/superchips and diablo sport, and hypertech, also the spartan and sniper. the programmer choice is up to you.

Agreed, get a programmer because you can make adjustments yourself as needed to the included tune(s). If you can, install a wideband O2 datalogger to monitor your A/F ratio, and use that along with datalogging info from the tuner to adjust timing and fuel on the tuner.

a good tune is worth a few hour road trip, trust me. however if that is totally out of the question if you buy an sct excalibrator2 from modular powerhouse i'm pretty sure tim will include a tune for your car in. i'm not 100% sure though, so you'll have to give them a call.
