Not to mention researching and learning the software along with tuning a car for the first time can take a good bit of time and many people are too busy to do all of that. Also tuning the program crome that he uses requires that you buy a number of things for tuning.
1. you need a chip burner for sure
2. you will need a datalogging cable(it can be done without this, but it isn't easy or efficient to get a good tune this way.
3. you will need to purchase crome pro($150) just to datalog through crome...you can datalog with other free programs, but its so much easier just to log through one program.
4. you will need a real time programmer if you want to be able to update maps without having to burn a chip everytime. Trust me i've tuned without this before and it really does suck.
If you have the time, money, and patience to tune your own car then thats good, but many people dont have that.
from what it looks like, he cant figure out the mapping, and is having issues with fueling. i dont know this system, but it appears to me that since he is getting shit emailed, it must be a file (unless there is some way to email hardware, i dont think that is quite capable yet)
so, it makes sense to most that are viewing this thread that the original poster has no clue on how to make a fuel map work, basically meaning that he should probly not be attempting to do what he is trying to do without some form of help, which probably should have been done in the first place.
cliff notes: if you dont know what you are doing, dont fucking do it.
i dont even understand why he's even so in a hurry to tune it. five bucks says it will be blown up in a few weeks anyway.
i think what chris is trying to say is that if you dont know how to do something, DONT FUCKING DO IT! at least thats what i inferred

yes, he is a know it all. if i knew half the shit he knows about what makes some tunes work and others not i would say the same thing (ok.....i still would have anyway, cause i'm a dick like that) i would take some words of wisdom hoss, cause he is saying it nicely. i dont see any ignorance in his reply. you, however, seem to be swinging on someones nuts to be so damn defensive of one of your "team members"
