And this will lead to the tragic death of your motor costing you more $ in the long run. Leave "trickery" alone and spend the dough on an ECU tune or full standalone.Swappedandboosted wrote:your only looking for 400 whp then perhaps save your money and run the safc2. otherwise powerfc all day long.

I'm sure you'll agree, but i'd rather have 9/10's of the power for 10/10's of the drivability with my our ROM tunes.DrifterProdigy85 wrote:Enthalpy and JWT are rock solid Tunes. I know my Enthalpy is incredibly safe. I run 19psi on 9.0 CR pistons without a problem. I may even be able to do 20psi on 93 octane. I do think more power can be had from a standalone just because every engine is a little different so the timing maps have to be tweaked.
This is not directed at you or anything so don't take it personally but I hate that kind of **** on forums.Neil wrote:I'm seriously considering getting an enthalpy tune, but I've heard he tunes them just over the "too rich" line. in that case I assume an AFC would be in order to bring AFR's down to the high 12's instead of low 14's.
haha I did type that kinda odd huh?homeslicej2 wrote:Just to clarify codyace, you're saying that a good ROM-tune will net better reliability than a good standalone tune (which gives better power capabilities). Never thought of that before.
Rich and lean are obviously dependent on many things, including HP. It's hard to say what is and what isn't, without the setup. In the simplest and grand scheme of things, you want WOT and highest load in the 11ish AFR range....otterman wrote:

"I've heard JWT tunes too rich""I've heard Enthalpy tunes too rich""I've heard JWT tunes too lean""I've heard Enthalpy tunes too lean"
One of these gets posted everytime people talking about rom-tuning. Where's the proof? I've never seen real proof to any of these claims. It seems to just be the classes case of "I heard it from a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy."
Also, what's too rich? What's too lean?
That is because of all these BULK tunes dont perform identically on cars with different setups. Some people have really nice intakes, really nice turbo manifolds, injectors etc....and others use Garbage EBAY crap that flows like a dirty K&N filter.otterman wrote:

Any? Forget about it. Why on earth do you say such things?ZL-Auto wrote: any custom tune will always be better than a "chip"
What where you running with a sohc maf??? that would def cause your afr to be messed up especially being boosted I dont think it was you tune a little more ibfo on the subject and we might be able to help where you running ka-t or sr or rb????RPS13 DRIFTER wrote:i heard that bad tuning is what messed up my engine.i have not compresstion tested it yet but im pretty sure its a bad ring.(it might be detenaton) I ran 14PSi on stock ECU, SOHC MAF, and a walborro pump and i started having blow by threw the dipstick untill it up and died.i dont know if having a filter on the T from the valve cover help the crankcase venting.
