Crome Pro ($150), a wideband O2, a datalogging cable and a chip burner and you're tuning.

Cheapest.. order a custom chip (or send it if you need them to install)

Best is to get it tuned..

I can do both.. (i'm all set up with Crome Pro..)

Ever send that customer back his 150 bucks for the free version of Crome you charged him for? Supposed to get a custom software and you ripped him off. Ring a bell. Last I heard, you still have his money.

why lol???


street tuning is the best..

why tune on a dyno, only at full throttle... and spend 300$ or more..


tune where you drive.. with proper loads, resistances...

even think about that?

and depending on the head B16 or gsr, you can figure out your C/R , this will let the person who burns you a chip, start for the best base map....

I don't know which map is best for you
