i was deciding which shop i wanted to get my car tuned at..and was wondering what the difference between street tuned and dyno tuned..the street tune would cost me 150 for full (4-5 hour) tune..and the dyno tuned would be 150/hr..street tuned seems more reasonable to me but is it better?

 

i was thinking that street tuning is you doing the tuning. i may be wrong

 

realistically you need both. as i understand dyno tuning is for WOT tuning, and street tuning is for everything in between. if it was me i would probably go for the street tune. it depends on the tuner also. talk to both tuners and see which one is better. do a search and then post in the all-motor or forced induction forums for more info.

Dyno-tuning is tuning white on a dyno, WOT/full load. Street tuning is when someone drives around with a data-logger, and tunes based on that.

 

i went to a shop called speedfactory and the guy said they street tune with the best tuner around town..but i've alwaise gone to a guy i know at another shop for everithing..wuts WOT?

i dont mean to sound like a dick, but this has been covered before and that is what the search function is for.

 

^^hmm read some..probably get street tune then

yea i was talk'n about intec..i know a guy there but there at 150/hr..so iunno either..cause iunno how it'll take..the guy at speedfactory told me yesterday that he was re-builing some motors that customers brought blown from intec...would wot mean alot of difference since its on a dyno and not the street or wha?

 

what you should do is have your part throttle maps street tuned. that way you tune in real world driving conditions, and you'll get nice driveablity and gas mileage. all the full throttle tuning should be done on the dyno.

 

Give Dave Lee a call if you want a street tune. He's up in Bellingham, but well worth the drive. I had my car street tuned by him and exceeded my expectations in terms of power output. It took 4 hours for my tune, but he will stick with your tune until you are satisfied. He charges $100 for a street tune and can also do dyno tuning. I am planning on having him retune my car with more boost when the weather allows. PM me if you want his number.
