Instead of a email tune. It's better if they tune your car on the dyno

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Toby- To be fair, I am running a TS tune through an SCT tuner. I have been getting a P219a code saying that bank 1 has bad a/f. I do have cat delets though, so I kind of expected to have some issues with cel's anyways. The car runs great otherwise! Tell tim to PM me back so I can get the car in to have the gears looked at

I could understand an issue with it if it was just a click file tune, rather than a street datalog tune. If you want to be technical, a street datalog tune would be more precise than a dyno tune because the datalogged tune would be from the envoirment the car is being driven in rather than a dyno room.

I don't get why you are so against Shaun's tunes? He's proven and had others prove how precise and reliable his tunes can be.

There is a reason that Kevin also does street data logging for his tunes.

I agree with Steve. I went with AED and love it. The idle and part throttle performance along with fuel economy can't be beat...and you can't get that on a dyno no matter how good the tuner is. Two of my friends have AED tunes here in Dallas now as a result of them seeing the experience had and performance I received.

My car is tuned by AED. The tunes I have were street tuned which is better than a dyno tune IMO. street tuning the car has a load on it and its real world driving conditions unlike the dyno. My Blower was tuned on the street and my car was the first Roush TVS tuned by Shaun. Shaun is an awesome guy to work with and well worth the money.

Due to the amount I drive my car now that I have it, I want it to be as economical as possible when I'm not wanting to have fun driving. I will probably be getting either an AED time or getting with Kevin about some tunes. I don't plan on going crazy with power mods on the car, and having the ability for Shaun to do free updates for minor mods is a great plus.

It was Eco tune, performance and drag tune when I originally was tuned by him. extra 50 for the idle lope. I think he now has the ECO stuff in the regular tunes now so im not sure. I was tuned by him back in February this year.
