What I tune
- HP Tuners on supported GM, Ford, and Mopar vehicles: LS and LT trucks and cars, Coyote Mustangs and F-150s, Hemi Chargers, Challengers, and Rams
- Standalone ECUs: MaxxECU, EpicEFI, and TunerStudio-based systems (Speeduino and MegaSquirt) for engine swaps, turbo and supercharger builds, and race cars
- Fixing tunes that are already in the car: rough idle, lean or rich conditions, knock, and drivability problems after modifications
How I approach a tune
Before I touch a calibration, I check that the engine is healthy. That means a scan for codes, a look at fuel trims and live data, and checks for vacuum or boost leaks. Tuning around a mechanical problem just hides it. I save your original file, make changes in small steps, and confirm each one with datalogs: wideband air-fuel, knock, and timing. You get an engine that runs right and keeps running right, not just a peak number.
California and emissions
In California, changing the emissions calibration on a street-registered vehicle requires a CARB Executive Order. I'll walk you through what's legal for your vehicle. Tunes without CARB approval are for race and off-road vehicles only.
