Please give me some of your guys experience only running 8-10 pounds.
Cons and Pros. I know after a Dyno tune it checked in on the road.

 

- What is dyno & street tuning:
Dyno tuning is the use of a dynamometer to measure wheel horse power and torque. Using a dyno to tune a vehicle is very important. A dyno provides a controlled platform for a tuner to make adjustments & see the repercussions to those adjustments. This will allow your tuner to make the safest horsepower/torque with your vehicle.

Street tuning is the tuning of a vehicle while being driven on the street. Street tuning is a good idea after dyno tuning to ensure that a vehicle's tune is spot on in real world conditions (air temperatures, vehicle load etc.). Street tuning is also important to ensure that partial throttle tuning is correct.

In most cases both Dyno & Street tuning methods of tuning are necessary to achieve the best possible results. Street tuning is extremely important because it simulates real world conditions. I.E. Temperature, Wind, Engine Load etc. By street tuning a vehicle, you can monitor real world drive-ability, engine conditions & general fuel economy. The reason dyno tuning is needed on-top of street tuning is to monitor wheel horse & torque power and torque so that you can achieve maximum horsepower results in a controlled environment using ignition & cam timing adjustments.

 

^^thanks wanting info on how my money is being spent.

 

Both are necessary to properly tune a car no matter what anyone tells you. If someone tells you other wise there is an issue

 

dyno tune it and then take it out on the street to clean it up. That way you can tune for driveability, and then let it rip to see how things look under a real load...


4th gear pulls spinning at 120mph on a 45mph road FTW!!!!

 

+1

 

go with both...

 

Both. I always recommend street tuning first to minimize dyno time.

 

I completely agree, I can usually get a turbo honda on and off the rollers in very minimal time once i have street tuned the vehicle. as the biggest thing you cant do on the street is make any good ignition changes as you have no idea what it is doing to the power level, or more importantly the TQ level. It is recommended by every major tuning software company that the vehicle have some street time.

 

This is exactly what I tell customers... I believe this holds true UNLESS we are talking about a car that is putting down anything over 500WHP, as a street tune in a 600HP car on ANY city street is very very dangerous FUN... but dangerous . This situation would call for using a load type dyno, which can create closer tuning results as running on a open road.
