Not arguing with you here but yeah BYT did the same in either 09-10. Even Created a Dyno graph that would build with your data.

I understand, I won't ever trust BYT's stuff. Ryan is the only person that will ever touch my car, when someone is that good that in 1 flash maybe 2 gets everything spot on it shows me that he's passionate. I have 2 more people waiting to get tuned by him as of yesterday. He is just infatuated with tuning and often studies it like crazy.

So here my next question. How do you know everything is spot on? If you dont know how to tune how can you make that statement. Because the car feels faster?


And who is Ryan and why is he not a know tuner. Whats his screen name on the forum?

Being able tune to and being able to read and understand data logs are 2 different things. I trust him 100% and completely understand what a data log tells me. Who pissed in your Wheaties?

Yeah dont take my statements that way. Dont really know oldskool and have never heard his name mentioned as a tuner on this forum ever. I have seen plenty of logs and tunes from Know tuners that were so fucked up it was shocking.

Yep there is. He got so busy and was so over worked by handeling his own family and newborn, Full time work and then trying to run a business on the side. And all those know tuners that worked together got the tuning and the platform to where it is today for tuning.

Well I'll keep any other personal opinions of byt to myself. However you are 100% correct. Ryan also owns a zfr solstice and a cruze that he's waiting to throw parts on and tune

I'm just dropping in to say hi since my name was mentioned. In the matter of introductions, I've been tuning with HPT since late 2006. The vast majority of my experience is with Jbodies, which involves tuning a lot of boosted cars on an alpha-n OS. My first tune was my own L61 cavalier, and my second was my LNF solstice several years later. My box currently has 28 credits licenses with a couple model/years unlocked, just to give an idea of experience. That is really not a whole lot of cars, but i could refer to all of them, and all of them would recommend me.

As far as "knowing" what's spot on the only thing you can go by is what the car tells (when you are doing a street tune). That means fuel trims are near zero for closed loop, AFR error is near zero for open loop/PE, and ignition advance is smooth and free of knock retard. The car should not experience any severe loss in drivability, and should behave relatively the same in all conditions to the extent that the OS allows (such as ambient temp changes). I have to address that point, because anyone who mods cars should be able to understand that a fuel trim or AFR error of zero means that whatever maps are used to prescribe fueling are as close to accurate as possible, even if they haven't a clue about actual tuning. Now, that is entirely different from saying "x AFR exactly is yields the most power" or "x degrees advance exactly yields the best power". I don't make those claims, and no self respecting tuner should claim to be so specific as every build/car/situation is different.

I've heard rumors from several sources about BYT that I will not propagate here, but I'll say i have a tuning philosophy that is different from what many here would be satisfied with. I aim to extract power out of the build, but not to the point of taking life off the drive train. For every platform I've tuned, there is plenty of info out there from which to form an idea of what power level/boost/rpm/etc is safe. I work to keep it safe, even if it means the car comes out a little behind on the dyno. At that point, it's up to the owner to request more if they understand the risks. I never approach a job with the intent to push the tune to the ragged edge for every last whp. To add that philosophy, I'm not afraid to ask for help if truly stumped. There's no room for arrogance in tuning, because it may cost someone's daily driver.

Again, I'm just dropping in since my name was mentioned. I don't "advertise" or actively seek out new tuning jobs, nor do I want to be in a position where I cannot keep up with requests from current customers. It's truly just a hobby that lets me experience a lot of different builds and meet some pretty cool people. Carry on...

Appreciate the post but you dont have to defend yourself to me or anyone in general. I was never bashing you in any type of way. I dont know you and cant speak about you at all and choose only to speak about facts i know.. But its def nice to know that there is another possible tuner close in the LV area. Thanks for stoping in and leaving a message.

Oldskool will most likely be fixing the tune I have on my Le5 now that I got from James. It will be done here shortly so I will definitely be letting people know how it goes. I'm hopin for the best as James's tune seems a little off to me.
