I think what he meant was that initially when he wrote or modified the base SCT tunes that they were all done with results from a dyno. That is now our 'base file'. They are then modified to each spec and sent out.

no, no. i understand that.
but dyno tuning in the middle of modding your car is pointless. if the shop is using a dyno tuned car as it's base for that file and then editing it to suit, then that is fine and dandy. however, and i hate to keep saying it, dyno tuning should be left as one of the last things you should do to your car.


As for your question Steve,
with the Xcal2, certain function can be left unlocked however at this time most shops are locking the tunes for warrenty reasons like Jason said. no matter how good a tune is from a shop, if some silly wanker get in there and starts playing with it, there is a good chance he/she is going to do some damage. and in this wonderful age of the internet and lack of common sense, the first thing those people usually do is go on line and post about how they were flashing a program from shop X onto their computer and "BOOM" no more motor.

why exactly are you trying to match your idle to your alt output?
you alt output at idle should barely change between 750-1000rpm. about the only thing you will gain from a slightly higher idle is less light dim from your idle dipping below 750 which is common with UDPs and high load at idle(big stereo). the ammount of power generated by the alt at idle is fairly static but changes based off how much load and draw are on the charging system.

also, most emmissions testing requires idle to be set at or below 1150rpm.
we have found 1000rpm idles minimize light flicker/dim, reduce the tranny rattle common on manual focus' and almost eliminate idle dips from high draw stereo's.... also really good for cars with lumpy cams and/or agressive timing.
