Dyno-tweaking: worth it!
#21
wow this is very interesting reading...
MrClean, did you notice the knock snensors kicking in? Is that why you took your car to a custom dyno tune shop? I'm wondering if tripping the knock sensors is a common thing with bamachips?
Right now, today, my car is getting 4.10 gears installed at a Mustang shop that does dyno tuning. After talking to him about tuning options, my bill would be ~$900 for an SCT Tuner, C&L Racer intake, and a custom dyno tune for 87 and 93 octane.
Bamachips is $625 and tons of people have great things to say about those tunes.
Is it worth $275 to go with the custom dyno tune?

Do the dyno-tune...you won't regret it (assuming the dyno tuner is experienced and credible...ask around, ask for references)

I agree. That's my plan once I change my d/s. Dyno tune will squeeze about 7-9 extra horses over the canned tune (which has to be safesided because the tuner doesn't have the vehicle there to tune). My tuner is goign to charge $330 for two hours on the drums.

That should be plenty...I think it only took 45 mins (2 runs) to get mine done...well maybe an hour with the strapping down, etc. Get some buddies there with you in case you have enough time left over for them to do a couple of runs!
