B4 and after... Bama tune vs Local dyno

Enough said... I'll leave you to your own thoughts

Uhhhh.........nice gains!

A custom dyno tune will always be better than a canned tune, assuming the tuner is competent. Always has been that way, always will. Congrats on finally upgrading to a custom dyno tune.

You may want to clarify what #'s correspond to what tune. For all we know, the Bama tune is the better performer.

^ what he said....

Where did you get it dyno tuned? The car looks much happier on the red graph for sure. Nice gains.

 

[Brezick]

whats with the odd dip on the blue graph? doesnt look right....looks nearly identical until that point.

 

[fdjizm]

Which tune is which?

 

[DeceptionGT/CS]

The bigger gains are with a local tuner in our area. Also should mention that the second numbers are with the addition of UDP's as well.

Post the SAE numbers

 

[Dark_horse]

Bamas the blue graph.... I was throwing the stupid egr valve code with bama... Not anymore... Sae? Is that the correction numbers... If so blue graph 1.07 red graph 1.04

 

[Dark_horse]

I ran a before and after with the udps.. Gained 7whp off them

Glad you posted. I've been debating a custom dyno tune for my car, and that's a pretty good gain over the canned tune. Was that the BAMA Race tune?

 

[Viperbluelx]

SAE is the correction for weather, temps, ect. Your current graphs are STD, see in the top right corner? SAE would just give you a more accurate comparison.

Was that the BAMA Race tune?

^^^^This?

 

[BlackSunshine]

^^^^This?

Regardless, I think there is something wrong with that e-mail tune. As noted above, why is there that sudden dip at 3K RPM? Why was it throwing an EGR valve code (assuming the EGR isn't actually fucked to begin with)? Personally I think the Bama tune wasn't right to begin with and might make it a bit unfair I guess you could say. I would like to see a good e-mail tune vs a dyno tune and see the difference in #'s.

You definitely can't make a blanket statement that all Dyno tunes are better than canned tunes and I'm proof of it. My last dyno tune ran like dog shit drivability wise compared to my BBR E-mail tune. Sure my traps and times didn't improve with the E-mail tune, but at least I could drive the damn thing without it feel like I was pullin a trailer in 5th on the highway.

Chris rose personally wrote me the 93race tune shown in the graph... Went through probly 10 dif tune revisions and multiple datalogging sessions... And there is no egr valve on these cars... I'm not sure what the sae is I can post the humidity and all that... The time between the blue graph and red graph was about two hours apart

 

[blackblackblack]

hmmm... I also have a Bama tune. Was considering just datalogging, but maybe i should take it to the dyno for an A/F reading... was this an entire dyno session?

 

[BL00DSH0T]

I agree there was something wrong with the Bama tune you had.
But I went for dyno tuning after getting my Bama tune and it was perfect, so I still have the Bama tune.

IMO mail orders are hit and miss but should always be tested on the dyno.

Do you have CMDPs?? Couldn't that cause the dip if it was or wasn't tuned for that? Or maybe they were staying closed? Mine did that and I believe that's what fixed it was some CMDPs
