tuning difference between daily driver and race car???
This question is intended for tuners...How different are your tune's for daily drivers v.s. race cars(sfwd, non-daily drivers). with race cars are you still concerned alot about partial throttle tuning? i dont ever plan on driving my car on the street so does partial throttle have to be finely tuned?

We tune every square in the matrix even though it is a full on race car. Some famous race tuners will tell you differently but it is what our tuner believes in. Our race tune would work on the street because it is safe thru the entire range.

exactly.
let me give you an example why its important to tune the entire fuel range.
not too long ago i tuned an all motor car pretty much race track only car. I just wanted to see how it was running before i tuned it, idle was crap, and i couldnt even get it on the dyno without it stalling, bogging, etc. It was pathetic. anything but WOT was a nightmare. it had over 3-4 hours of dyno time before i touched it.
he said it was embarrassing because he'd go to stage the car, and he'd have a lot of trouble stalling/bogging/ etc.
