Re: AFAccord's 2000 Accord Coupe EX
When I street tune, we hook up the wideband and laptop to the car, and I drive while my tuner rides ***** and makes adjustments.
We hit all the part-throttle cells by logging the maps while I make 1000rpm-redline pulls, keeping the MAP sensor at a certain level, then he makes adjustments to eveything in that column as needed, and move on to the next column of MAP values, all the way up to a full WOT pull. He can adjust fuel and a little timing, but until it's on a dyno, we can't adjust the cam gear.
We then go on the highway and just cruise so he can log my closed-loop values, and adjust accordingly, as well as work out any kinks at throttle tip-in and fuel cut settings.
My tuner street tunes my car for free, and waives his fee for dyno tuning, which still comes out to $250-300 for dyno time. I usually just buy him lunch when we're out, and occasionally hook him up with computer parts and other random junk of no real value other than for tinkering with.
