Even with the BA, it took quite a while for the really talented tuners to show themselves. The EEC is a complex beast.
I can't believe the claim of 60rwkw from the edit on a 290, sounds like bullsh ! t. IMO performance gains are not best measured on the dyno at WOT. Look at the Bluepower cars...they have far from record breaking dyno figures, but they are undoubtedly the quickest n/a BA V8's at the track.

If you where to change cam, and fit a blower, you'd need bigger injectors and bigger MAF. In that situation the edit would be your best friend....

I recall 30rwkw increases with Boss's when Edit first arrived. Bluepower cars, yer great 1/4 mile times, thats the driver imo not just the tune. Thats like saying buy Nike golf clubs because Tiger use's them and hit like a winner. Just being constructive guys py: :

An edit is only as good as the tuner using it.

Mods are only headers, 2.5" exhaust, intake and edit. Plugs and leads, big deal, they are on all our cars. Stock cam, stock head, stock engine in total. Want to point out all the I6 auto's on this forum making 131rwkw or more with a totally unopened engine? Hell, some arnt even doing that with aftermarket cams (as well as all the above mentioned mods)

Truth about all tuning is that it does make the car quicker because it primarily fixes flatspots fuel,ignition and niggly bits along the way.As far as I see it is essential. But only when the car is optimised mechanically.Once you have the right cam,diff,stall,heads then get a tune.Now that Spiro is doing the tune down here well its just a few heartpills away to get a great tune.
Bluedriver ,lets face it ..if Spiro did edit tune when my car ran it would have done better.Ive said it once and ill say it again a tune is only as good as the tuner.But in the same breathe a tuner cant get huge power out of a car without the potential.Atune cant fix an badly dialled cam,blocked exhaust or faulty coilpack. By the same token ,holden sv6's who brag to be fast give good power (similar to mine) get blown into the weeds by me..why, because their power curve sux. Just because in this instance peak power hasnt gone that high it doesnt mean the car is not quicker.A 4rwkw gain is a good gain which simply indicates that this car may have been running at its peak potential.

If I was to spend $1000 on an edit, and got a 9rwkw increase, I'd be mighty pi**ed. It's true that it all lies in the tuner and how he tunes the car, but like you said, there really hasn't been solid enough proof that the edit is better than a piggyback.

Its a shame they didn't rescale the x-axis to show the curve a bit better, but it certainly looks to be making much more power down low. More than an extra 9rwkw in some points. Overall power is not huge, but considering the mods and the 50 degree inlet temps (remember EEC pulls timing when the air is really hot), I think its quite a good result. ddarby, any chance you are going to run this down the 1/4 mile?

I just looked at that dyno printout again... anyone else notice it says 2nd gear???
If that was done in 2nd then all bets are off... it will skew the results. I know I get close to 150rwkw in second gear in mine.. most dynos run 3rd gear to compare them.

It shouldnt matter what gear the car is run in (unless the dyno/operator isnt doing their job).

If changing down gears gave more power, then changing diff ratio would result in more power wouldnt it?

I'll make sure to request that my car run in 2nd gear not 3rd at the next dyno day... if it doesnt make any difference whatsoever noone will object I'm sure.

I am looking to get Spiro at Autotech in Sydney to do a tune late next month (hopefully) and he can wring even more power out than your gain, then the stallie down the track. Good luck. Have fun! |

ie Nm x rpm / 9545 = Kw Therefore if you choose a lower gear, then the torque is multiplied but the wheel speed is reduced by the same corresponding amount. Hope this helps. |

If the car was tunhed perfectly using a piggy back and then retuned by using a flasher, there's every chance the RWKW may not be any different at the top, but it should pick up more midrange, by controling all paremeters than a piggy back ever could, and as said earlier, the car would probably be more responsive, more pleasureable to drive and probably rev to peak RPM quicker, even though it may have the same final RWKW. Go back to dreaming about the day you can finally buy yourself a polarizer!

In regards to the edit, whether its edit, chip, ИИИИin whatever, it all boils down to the tuner...... You people expext way too much, you don't want to spend any money and want it to go super fast and drink no fuel..... Visit a good tuner and see what he can actually do for your car and stop talking ИИИИ. |

Well for comparison...
Stock AUII XR6 VCT tickford (IRS) 60,000km on the clock V8 tickford snorkle, and 3inch drone pipe (in prep for a turbo later maybe/hopefully) http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/660...5falcon8wt.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2757/...noplate5ym.jpg Was dynoed on the same dyno as my brothers supra that made 151.4rwkw this dyno 151.5rwkw (both in melbourne) on another and 147rwkw on a dyno (in sydney - hot weather) so numbers should be basicly spot on. |

Any tuning tool is only as good as the tuner...
It’s also worth remembering the tuning tool used doesn't make the power, its your cars engine that makes the power the tuning device you use just allows you to fine tune and edit what is left to gain out of your engine, that’s why everyone results well be different... Some cars are fatter than others in the fuel..

A lot of people on this thread have spoken about peak power gains that I achieved with this tune. I agree it is below my expectations. But when we checked the AFR's before the tune, it was one of the smoothest lines at a ratio of 12 that we have sen. Pretty much spot on, just a slight drop when the BBM does it's changeover. But the low down power, the low down torque is FAR better than I have experienced with the Chiptorque. The dyno reading says that also. By the way, the dyno readings we performed before the 3000 stallie was installed. As for dyno testing in 2nd and 3rd gear, we did perform that with results which were almost identical. Hardly a difference. Just about dyno's, there are only a few shootout dyno operators that are certified and have to guarantee to the dyno manufacturers ( regular testing for accuracy is done) are accurate and fortunatley, Bill Towler is one of two I believe in Adelaide. I simply can't believe some of the RWKW readings some people post on these forums IMO. I mean, 140RWKW plus form a NA I6 with just zort, CAI and chip? There is too many dynos that lie,especially in Melbourne/Sydney. Make sure that you are using a certified shootout company for accurate dyno results.

Well it good to see your happy with the result you got with the edit. I notice that you got a lot of torque down low,with improvement in the the reset of the rev range. Well it's torque that get you moving of the mark, rwkw is what keeps you going at higher revs. At the end of the day your happy with it, than enjoy it.
The edit will get better with time as tuner use it more & learn which way to go to get better results faster. If you find a good tuner, let the rest know.
