Damn Jules, gotta come correct with your info man!!!

 

you took the words right out of my mouth. The lambda logging is something that should be looked into.. The DSM crowd is a BIG reason I even play with AEM, I love them, and they are worth every penny, was actually thinking about converting from Crome to AEM if the coin is around at the time, but yea......... There are a few good people I would trust tunimg AEM around florida, tuning the unit for function isnt that hard, its adding all the fun stuff that get to you after a while

 

What do you guys mean by 'lambda trace'.... It can already log lambda.

 

My opinion on Brad. You have to pay someone to tune your car. You also most of the time have to pay for dyno time. Brad has never in my experience not been able to fix a tuning issue easily. He also is so safe with his tuning it's not even funny. He wont push a car's limit like many other tuners. You cant beat his price. Sure plenty of people tune but you really have to understand the Aem to know how to fix the bugs and problems. Untill Brad i used to go to Sfp. My car runs perfectly after Brad has tuned it. My car has never been street tuned by him either yet when i go to the track it's perfect. Not trying to step on any "local" tuners toes but nobody around here is as good as Brad.

 

what we mean by this is: after you make a pull whether it be one gear, or all. you can see either a percentage difference or actual recorded fuel values, and how they differed from your target numbers you were wanting to be at.

AEM has something similar and you either have to just Record Log Start, or use automapping log, both of which i do not like

also everytime i have gotten into a car with an AEM ecu, and an AEM gauge, they are never reading the same, so i adjust the gain on the MAP to match the gauge, BUT even when you have it exact as the voltage output from the gauge......its still always off which= very black bumpers in part throttle

 

I see...programmed fuel vs recorded. 2 ways:

1) if you run O2 FB in boost, you can log the O2 error value to see how far off you are.. that will tell you in Lambda, how far off you are from the target.

2)What I do is....If you don't run O2 FB in boost...you can setup a maths library to do it in AEMLog..which is what I do, since I typically do not run O2 FB after about 4psi or so.

As far as the WB Gauge vs AEM display matching...the AEM is very particular to how the WB is grounded to a differential input. The ground offset created can throw this off under load. Sorry for the off topic.

 

That is because non-steady state dyno's really are only useful for track conditions. Full throttle.....stop. The end. No idling at a red light for 10 mins, no cruise on the highway for 30 mins, no low load-high rpm, no high load-low rpm, no 30+ mpg, etc. Not saying he can not do it, but saying that your statment really doesn't apply to street cars.

If Brad wants to make some dough and tune a bunch of cars, I would suggest giving more notice. 4-5 days is really not enough to get a gang of cars lined up in time.

 

I agree Jason. The thing is though. Brad was coming down here for vacation anyway. Tuning isnt his full time "career" as it isnt your full time "career" Shoot me a PM. I have not spoke with you in a while.

 

Jason, Mike . You need some one to pass you tools in Hi ? I could use a vacation too.

 

well, i dont know brad but heard only good things about him...i met him the other day, cool guy btw......as for tuning goes, i must say that my friend alpha has been great with my ems.....we have come across quite a few of problems but he has taken care of em....im happy with his tuning.....i wouldn't bother having anyone else tune the car....i know he will take care of it as if it was his.....+1 for alpha..........,.....
