Flash Tuners / Programs

LoveMyCobra · 01-28-2005, 01:17 PM

I've searched and found some posts on tuners and I guess my question is most likely a newbie one:

I read that the shop creating your tuning is more important that the tuner itself. Anyone know of a shop in the Denver, CO area that is reputable and if so, which tuner they are using?

Do the tuners have to have your car on a dyno, or can you just say I have such and such exhaust, intake, pulley, etc. and they create a program for that setup?

Sorry for the ignorance.

I'm not from CO, but I can give you some insight on your second question.

Depending on what mods you are making to your Cobra you may or may-not need a tune! If you decide to get a smaller pulley (etc. 2.80) for the blower you will need to get tune. You can purchase a "box tune" which is a chip or hand held tuner, but if you really want a good tune, go have it dyno tuned. This will insure you have the right air/fuel ratio and that the car is running smoothly. Also you should get a stock dyno just to see where you are now before doing any mods! Just my .02!

Good luck!
