SuperDak or Mike, Id say trash the idea of just using the tuner itself man...your already in a huge mess....

come over to Cartek here in Jersey they're in Garwood....bring your tuner and they'll give you a custom dyno tune for $450 bucks, they're actually in the progress of waiting for more tunes for our trucks...i was calling them about it..just a suggestion man...good luck!

Wow, how many hours of dyno time (with their tuner) do you get for that? That must be at least 3 hours of dyno time (including cool down). Typically, a dyno shop will be charging around $150/hour for dyno and tuner.

I would imagine that tuning our trucks with a piggy-back would not take 3 hours. I have tuned my (turbo) car with a fully controllable piggy-back on open and closed loop for about 1.5 hours (from the factory map). Granted, this was a conservative tune, however I must have made close to 15 pulls on the dyno with some cool down time.

Even if the customer had to create 2 seperate maps (one for street, one for race/nitrous/boost tune) I would guess at most 2 hours of dyno time (from the factory map).
