Jake Raby, do you have a tune for Soccerties and I?

I don't do tunes for engines that we haven't built. I don't believe that these ECUs can be properly tuned without having the car on hand and performing a live dyno run, while monitoring OBDII and stand alone data for enrichment and spark advance. This is what we do on site, when tuning.

I see generic tune files cost people engines on a routine basis. Part of this is due to generic tuners jacking up timing and other parameters only to make power, when they don't have the proper mechanical knowledge and experience with the engine to truly know how these changes can possibly impact the engine in a negative way.

The last tuner that I talked to didn't even know the 4 strokes of a 4 stroke engine without Googling it. How the hell can he tune an engine?

I have tuned 5.2.2 ECUs, the only one that can't be tuned is the 97 Boxster.
