The guys I originally wanted to tune it put a 4WD dyno in, got them to do it and never had another issue
To be fair I am starting to see more (race) tuners these days who will not touch anything other than the brand they specialise in

Incompetence aside allot of these self professed 'experts' alliances and designations not withstanding have no idea of fundamentals of engines, how to calibrate them or the ability to make the tools to do so.

This is the root cause behind the saying "pick what your tuners uses recommends" I'm sorry but that is bullshit excuse at its most ridiculous. You pick what is BEST and you learn to use it yourself #1 then if need be from time or ability constraints you find someone to do the job for you (its not that hard really).

I developed my own software tools to facilitate the process of mapping any ECU platform, and the Pectel/LR/Syvecs model is pretty easy/straight forward once you have something similar. Any permutations of injectors (banked) fuel density, chemical composition (H,C balance) etc is a pleasure to re calibrate for.















And if you don't have this many worksheets in your Pectel workspace then you really have no idea what you are doing
