The power FC is what they would use on the car in Japan at a specialty tuner shop. It can be street tuned unlike a canned tune. You will never be able to get all that there is out of your setup with them no matter what cause they are limited in that regards.

I'm not disagreeing that a PFC isn't good - I just think that for a car under 400 hp, this side of a track race fuel car, that a Enthalpy or JWT ROM tune will net as much average and peak power/torque than any off 'custom tune'. (If that makes any sense). You have a PFC = Great...this thraed is just a representation of what a nice, 500 dollar off the shelf tune can produce...versus a 1000+ setup.

Awesome on the milage too. I also do 4-5 track (HPDE/timed) events all summer, so take that into consideration. They always say 1 mile on track is equivilent to nearly 5 of street driving, so I'd like to think to continue making the power I do, and to not have any oil issues or anything, that it's pretty good for a rom tune.

It also comes down to gearing/speed as well. Also how good of a rider you're verse. To catch a big from a low (10ish hit) it's going to take a solid 450 whp to keep up. Catch them mid range and it's good fun.

LOL I'm scared of RB's! They just don't like American air hehe. Everyone that's come to our dyno day has had issues hehe.

(Have you checked Evans TUning, or RT??)

Sure it wasn't a Carb'd 750? Sounds like a rider issue.

I make mad mid range torque and horsepower. I have a cammed s14 motor with a GT2871R and I kept VTC so my midrange at 3000 rpm is at least 100 hp more than a normal SR s13 motor. My tuner over laid the graphs when we tuned it. I make around 80-100 whp more than a comparable s13 motor up till I reach peak where they end up the same. I think the mid range matters a lot?

100 more hp at 3000 rpm is a nice claim, but I'd love to see it. FWIW: These ROM cars that I help build usually make double what a stock turbo car does at that idle...even still though it's not a place where I'd put to much focus on in regard to power for our setups...with a good final drive you're hardly ever below 3000 as it is.

I like .022 to .025 for gap. Never had an issue, good power, 30mpg+ highway.

Got any graphs?

PS: A 400 hp car at our light weight should be a 11.0 car with a good 60. I went 11.65 @ 120 my first time out, with a crappy 1.88 60'. I also didn't touch my suspension settings or alignment from the HPDE day, so that wasn't helping either. Not bad considering I can't drag race. With more practice and a launch program I'm sure it would run a nice deep 11. BUT I could care less...these are response oriented cars, for road course days


Again, lets keep focus on the point: Badass ROM tunes are available for our cars....at an affordable price. For a ture 'bolt on -do burnouts' solution, I can't be happier.
