How to tune a car right: Part 1, tuning GM with Top Speed Cincy:
great looking wheels wrapped in good looking but inexpensive rubber. On my first test drive, I couldn't get any of that supercharged sweetness to the ground. It was the perfect ride for parking in a Burger King parking lot on a Friday night. I tooled around on a Sunday drive, shaking my head that someone had spent five figures to get more power the right way, with a clean install, then wiped out the gains so thoroughly that the stock engine would likely have overwhelmed the tires.
Let’s say you just wanted a camshaft and you say,"I might go boost down the road, but it's a little out of my budget right now. I still want a good choppy idle, what do you recommend?" We could put a camshaft in that car, but if I didn't know you might go boost down the road, we could put one in there that's based around being all-motor [naturally aspirated – ed.] and it's not going to be ideal for boost. You're going to leave a lot on the table when you go boost.
Absolutely. Combination is everything. If there's one thing I want people to take away, it's that the tuner doesn't make the power, the combination makes the power, the tuner makes the combination safe. People get hung up on these dyno numbers, and they think the tuner can just put it on"Kill" and make all the power in the world. But the tuner doesn't really make the power.
That can be a huge pain in the ass. If someone comes in and says,"Hey, can you do it this way? I saw it on online." I'll say yes or no as to if it's going to work. If not, I'm not going to do it that way. If you want to find someone that will, that's fine. Everyone thinks that it's easy because you’ve got these handheld programmers, but they're not good. Every single one I've seen, it’s a stab in the dark. Every vehicle is different.
