toby my good buddy
.....how's life......how the family, kids and dogs...lol
now on with the discussion
.....cause it's time to analyse this TYPE of statement..
anyway....these units can't be worthless......impossible...i'm willing to put newguye's head on it...
.....i will say with 100% certainty.......that the preprogrammed ecus (and even OEM ecu) will run in any environment wheter it be the hot caribbean, cold/wet UK/ireland, dry humid Aus, hot/dry South Africa, etc....so even with varibales such as """"temperature, climate, humidity, pressure, load, friction etc etc..""""....to consider...these units will run.....and most importantly......on various gas/octane ratings
now anyone......hear's the deal........send me 1 gallon or 2 of your gas....we'll empty the tank and put it in newguye's car (thanks for volunteering...lol)........and run it at what ever boost he's using now
then we will also send 1-2 gallons of our gas to that person.....who will do the same with their standalone and set up......u can lower your boost to 7-10 psi even.....
..let's see whose car runs better/same/worse....obviously no retuning allowed
that's just an example:rockon:
""""""""They are pretty much worthless and it's a high gamble when you will have no idea what they've been mapped for""""""""" that's a true statement....do u (when i say u,,,i mean anyone with standalone who uses the car as a daily driver) run a PERFECT/OPTIMAL/PEAK tune??..........i bet u don't..........why?.........because most of your tuners have left some leeway just in case........soem have even been conservative........hence why a few of your have some very rich AFR graphs from your dyno runs.........so i can conclude that many bought standalones and still run sub-optimal maps for daily driver....am i right or wrong??
i await your repsonses.....and i'm ready to defend my statements.... as well as being open to new information/learning from you all:rockon::rockon:
let's make this topic......interesting huh.........keep it jiggy
PS---i'm only using toby's response as an example....cause they are many out there who share this view......this is NOT a personal dig at toby..........he has done tooo much for me and i respect him FULLY......dont mean i agree with everything he says and vice versa
