    How Not To Tune!!!

    Everything wrong you can think of is held within this one file! I will GLADLY tell anyone who wants to know, where it came from and who did it! I rarely talk smack about another tuner, but this particular individual holds a special place in my heart.

    This guy has been tuning a long long time. Apparently, he hasn't gotten any better, as ALL the crap I see coming out of that shop is very similar. This one is particularily horrible! It had so much idle air, combined with an unbelievably high amount of startup airflow, that it zeroed the IAC!! KOEO, the IAC went to zero.

    I see nothing wrong with this tune..............

    VE table, displacement, knock tables, PE, spark timing, idle table etc all look good and professional.....
