[QUOTE]Originally posted by EVal95: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by st5150: [qb]Sure. First let me explain what the main thing a chip does.... At wide open throttle it optimizes the air fuel ratio and timing advance. That's pretty much it in a nut shell. Its far form a mysterious black magic box. Other minor stuff a chip can do is turn on the electric fan sooner, bypass smog sensors, ect... but again these are secondary items. A dyno tune will measure your air fuel ratio curve on the dyno. The tuner will then correct/optimize this curve and then see how much timing advance your motor will take before detonating so a safe, yet optimized tune can be made. This often envolves several guess'n check dyno pulls to get right. Mail order chips only only guesstimates. The guy on the other end of the phone guesses what your air fuel ratio should be, then guesses at what level it will make the most power, then guesses how much timing advance your motor will take before detonating. Basicly you're calling a 1-900-FORTUNE TELLER. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if anypart was unclear and I'll try to explain it better.[/qb][/QUOTE]yeah i completely understand what you are saying. In a nutshell: doing a tune in person is more accurate and safer than a mail order GUESS....correct? I am going to call POWERTAIN and see what he does tell me [/QB][/QUOTE]
