cool. i can't say he doesn't know what he's doing, otherwise he would of not be allowed to tune all those cars.

 

[hooked_on4]

yeah not cheap,

Ok he's done

220whp on a mustang dyno so like 230-240 on a normal dyno, 2.xx hours of work.

Do you think tuning a turbo motor is harder then tuning a n.a motor? why was it not tuned on normal dyno?

 

[hooked_on4]

depends on your ECU, Tom's running mega squirt so it makes it easy, you could tune it w/NA the same but rewards are far less.

so you would need a ecu that's NA friendly, which is not mega squirt.

 

[hooked_on4]

like I said you can use a MS on NA, just what's the point really unless you have a NA monster?
