Re: Tune/Tuner
Okay.
"Box" tune. = A generic tune for your type of vehicle and model. Not adjusted for your car at all. Simple slightly adjusts timings and such to get a small amount of power.
"Custom" Tune = Somewhat like a box tune, however adjusted for parameters like cold air intake, exhaust, etc... mods you to. Great deal better than Box tunes. Perfectly fine for small mods like exhaust, intake, etc.
Dyno Tune = Nice. Completely done custom for your vehicle. Will net you the greater power hands down. Dyno tuning allows for your to measure imidiately what a tune does for a car, and adjust it back and forth until your reach peak power. Has its downfall, as its makes the most power... but... it might not be safe for daily driving... and not necisarily best 1/4 mile... and it could damage the car if it pushed everything to far for constant use like in daily driving, or doing multiple 1/4 mile passes at a track.....
Street tune = Longer process of tuning. It involves logging parameters while driving under different conditions... cruising and driving, driving hard, and doing WOT runs to get it in the upper band to see how the car handles fuel and such at higher RPM's. Takes several revisions to get it right, usually best over multiple days, and varrying weather conditions actually help as well so it will be better tuned for the conditions in your area. It has its downfalls, as it takes longer to do, and sometimes it may not be good for your upper RPM band just due to the fact you cant romp on it on the streets like you can a dyno. However, much safter for the car and reliable as heat conditions are more on targer.. as you get more heat soak and less cooling on a dyno than actually moving on the road and having air go through the car cooling it.
