Waste unless it's a SCT chip with custom tunes for ya. Just go to the tuner and get on.

I like potato myself. Or white flour tortilla, but only strips, not triangles. I hate triangles.

I had a custom tune on my sct chip, it worked. I got frustrated with not being able to do anything with it without paying someone to do it for me. So, I am learning how to tune myself with a Moates.net QuarterHorse, the Binary Editor, EEC Analyzer, and a wideband. I could have purchased the pro racer kit from SCT for like $800.. eff that.

I had the tune from my SCT chip pulled from it and I put it on my new QuarterHorse with the Binary Editor software as a base for whatever I end up doing.

So far I like it, but the learning curve is steep.

The learning curve is steep for any software you use and I hear that BinaryEditor is actually one of the easier ones to learn. NOt easy, but just easier and more user friendly than the others.


If you're just wanting a good tune, and not planning on messing withi it, hit the dyno. But with the few mods in your sig there is absolutely no need for one now.

Using the BE is easy, knowing what to do is where the learning curve gets steep

Ah those triangles...! :angry7:
I hear Dorito's come with a more aggressive tune......

Only the new "tacos after midnight" ones, those, are an animal..

To the subject at hand, ebay chips and that sort of thing are a waste of money. A professional dyno-tune is by far
worth it in the end. My car would die when warmed up if i didn't give it gas, it had decent acceleration, but after my tune
the drivability was improved dramatically. Now it runs smooth, i can start it up and go without having to worry about how long
it will go before it shuts off in traffic.

But once again, if you're just sporting pullies, a h-pipe, and 3.73s there is absolutely no need for a tune.

Don't waste your money until you've got a cam or sometihng.
