[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 908324, member: 11896"] Not cutting you down, but it sounds as though from what you said that you are about as much as an amature on this as anyone right(still cloudy)? If that is the case I am not really sure how you can vouch for the site as anything more then helpfull since you are not sure what you are doing is right yet and also not sure of the long-term effects. but this quote stuck me as odd,"and even if you can get it on a dyno you cant just drive around and pick up anything you need to improve your tune off the shelf" - not sure how you can call putting it on a dyno picking something up off the shelf but that is where you would correct a bad tune after visably seeing something was wrong with the real world data. I have to chuckle a little that this site is pretty well aginst mail order tunes on sct chips but all about someone with no exp picking up that quarter horse and running outta the gate after perusing the eec site. While I am afraid that I MIGHT get a bad tune done if my tuner makes a mistake, just as you said 95-stang I would expect there to be some stumbling/tripping while learning this stuff and I would expect to make some mistakes. Now the odds of the tuner making a mistake is hopefully much much lower then when I make my mistake, which is what I am banking on. Again do it right, do it once is my motto. I would rather pay someone for their professional exp at a job they have been doing for years then to spend my time wondering from day-to-day if I did it right or what my next adjustment will be. While the pride of doing it yourelf is nice I want to get in the car, start it up and know that it was done professionally and will not be a problem. Do you think that your tune on the QH is as good or better then putting it on a dyno? My point is that I have a few random internet people(with admitatly not much exp) tellin me that anyone can do it and it almost seems that everyone should because I MIGHT get a bad tuner, just like the people that wanted to hook up that lantern battery to thier amp. I am not trying to insult anyone but on one side I have a pro tuner I have researched and not found a bad report yet on from anyone he has helped(very small town) and on the other side I have a random internet guy that is admitting he is cloudy on the subj, but that he vouches for a site that will teach me how to use it.
