rocket is the man!!!
well i got a basemap(hondata s100) from rocket, and vtec pulled very very hard up to about 9k...so i thought a little more tuning would help the basemap out(since it's just a "basemap")...so i take it to a so-called "good" shop to tune, and i was not happy with it...they said they're computer would not read the basemap, so they totally erased rocket's map, and reburned a whole new map to start with(note, they didnt even ask me what injectors, cams, compression i was running)...they so called "tuned" my motor and now it runs worse then when i had rockets basemap...when my car idles now, it sometimes drops too low and sounds like it's gonna die, so i have to gas it a little bit...anyways, the only that could've been better was the cam timing...since my head has been milled about .040", rocket advised me to advance my cams 2 degrees, so when i get the reburned basemap from rocket, i will be sure to adjust my cams too...oh he has replied to my emails very quickly and all he's charging me is shipping costs(about 4 bucks) and i just have to send him back the chip to get reburned...
oh and if you're wondering about my setup...it's a 12:1CR gsr 81.5mm, jg pro series head, and buddy club spec 4's...the stupid shop baselined my car with their sucky *** basemap at 169whp and spent 2 hours on GOD knows what, and i ended up with 173whp/117tq...very very low numbers...oh and should i also let you guys know that they would not let me dyno open header cuz he says it's too loud, and if i was going to...he didn't want to do it...the problem with this is, i have a 2.5" collector on my header and i used a coat hanger to hold on the stock cat, just so it would be a little bit quieter to drive to the dyno(which was bottle necked like crazy and the collector would not even fit in there), so i know that restricted like crazy.
for ROCKET.
