it's not out of reach at all, someday maybe i'll be the tuner man...""That being said, both my father and I, as well as John chose HP Ranch owner John to tune our cars because hes the best. Takes balls to admit as a man someone else is better at something than me.""
Nah, it takes balls to do it yourself and actually read up and learn fundamentals of tuning your car instead of shellin out the coin for someone else to do it. It's not rocket science.
""Yes it is senceless to buy a tunner and then take it to someone to tune it. But if you caint figure it out then what?""
If you can't figure it out then reading might help....god knows there are tons of threads/forums on tuning engines. This is, what I feel, separates the boys from the men. Tuning your own **** is not only cheaper but you feel like you accomplished something....you also learn more about your engine. You just put together an engine, Jon, what makes you think tuning it is so out of reach?

Well imho I think humility is harder for men than pride. Im my case, its in humility that I go to someone who knows more than I. Also, time is money and in my line of work the $150 I pay to have someone else tune is better/less expensive than the several hours I would have to spend researching. Its all about opportunity cost. For the record, I tuned a buddies turbo 240sx with a standalone Fuel Management so I have experience, but I know I am not as good as John or other tuners.

what tuner do you have?As for now i would need the SCT program lap top i probably wouldnt know what to set stuff at once i got into the chip (never seen what one looks like) plus i paid $50 for my base tune and it's feels about 90% right so i feel i'll have another $75 into dyno time. so for now $125 for a tune is cheaper then the soft ware and a lap top and all the time i would have on the dyno trying to figure it out myself.peace

I see most issues have been addressed already and that you've made your decision. I would just footnote this debate by adding that the closer the car comes to being a race car, the better-off you are with a carb -unless money is no object. The closer it is to being a street car, the better off you are with EFI. If the car is a daily driver, EFI is a clear choice.
oh sds. hmmm
