Re: acf and tuning

Why even bother getting the VC swapped? Just go to the AWD dyno @ RS Motors.

Good idea! They are so great at tuning DSMs.

Re: acf and tuning

::EDIT:: happy? Chill out. And further more, would you prefer someone like shane tuning ( proven himself to be a swell tuner) or some person not NEARLY familiar with the cars?

Re: acf and tuning

I'd have to agree, RS Motors hasn't proven that they can tune DSMs yet.

Please tell everyone why that is not a real AWD dyno.

Re: acf and tuning

im pretty sure 1 set that rolls just ROLLS, doesnt measure anything. I wouldn't feel right dynoing my car there, so I couldn't prove anything. My friend said that the one set rolls free just making it easier to throw on an AWD.

Re: acf and tuning

also, from people I know dynoing there.. They claim they put down 15-20 more HP on other dynos. There are more variables, but i guess the way ron has it calibrated isnt accurate for weight. Again, this is what I was told by people that own hondas. Ive never been in there myself beyond the front door. Wasnt very comfortable talking to someone about why hondas are so great? lol, i left.

Yeah, go to elite. I had them tune my car twice and each time it ran perfect.

You are an idiot. For AWD cars they slide a coupling that connects the front and rear rollers by means of a big belt. The front set of rollers has to be locked at some ponit for FWD/RWD cars otherwise they'd never be able to make it over them to get onto the main rollers.

The Mustang dyno is loaded by some sort of clutch or electromagnet to prevent the rollers from moving. It's a constant load, unlike a Dynojet dyno which is basically just a huge flywheel, the only load put on the car is the drum's own mass and inertia. Which would you rather use? I'm not saying one is better or worse than the other, it's basically apples and oranges. Ron "calibrates" the dyno for each car, all he asks for is the estimated weight of the car, enters it into the computer and it sets the appropriate load.

You've been told once before and I'm telling you again, please educate yourself before spewing worthless shit.

As with ANY shop, I won't let them touch jack. I do my own tuning, which is probably why I don't care how crappy they are at tuning or what they specialize in.
