I have about 110k miles and full bolt ons. Never got around to tuning it. I figured I would get a dyno tune just to see some before and afters. But I know they go full throttle. And I am wary that something may go wrong on the dyno. I have an insanely clean engine, with regular fluid changes, and very average driving loads. No CEL or other warning signs. Great oil pressure. Never done a compression or leakdown test, but I have no reason to believe it is bad.
So what do you think? Otherwise I will just buy a SCT with a bama tune from AM.
Dynoing it is fine, but it just depends on how many mods you have. If you get a tune from Bama, you can just go to a dyno and have them run it to get you an idea of the power you're putting down and to check the air/fuel ratio of the tune (which is significantly cheaper than them tuning the car). The Bama guys will even help you datalog and make any necessary revisions (9 times out of 10, no revisions are necessary), if they see anything they can do to make more power, make the tune safer, etc. Many times, our mail-order tunes come out better and just as accurate than a dyno tune, depending on the level of mods that you have. With bolt-ons, this is usually the case.
Just a thought!
Give the Bama team a call if you have absolutely any questions, whatsoever. They're happy to help you!
This way you're also not pulling the car on the dyno 5 times to get it tuned in. You get the tune from Bama, pull it once or twice and you're done!
