Well I know a place where I can get the pulls done... Its the same place where I was "attempting" to fix the Maps I was givin. I've done about 30 pulls with the DP open in that area.... but the bad part about it, is its actually near my home... so I dont know how that would work.

seems like they are more than willing to help you... throw them some cash and maybe some lunch or a couple beers and seems like to me your car will be fixed

I got the car tuned by the Pro Tuner about 3-4 weeks ago. And I did notice a small inprovement ing the car... Just honestly not what I was expecting...
Then I Just happened to read the thread asking if you actually check you maps after you get pro tuned... So I thought that may I should. Then when I did check it, I noticed that the Mivec Maps looked a little funny. I've been curious about tuning the Mivec Maps way before I was actually modified so I was pretty knowledgeble about what everyone else was doing... And this looked like totally opposite.
I want to try and contact the Pro tuner that did this and talk to him about this because I paid 300 for these tunes. But he's out of town....

Supposedly this tuner is very good, but you really can't mention the Emperor's clothes or have an honest debate on SoCalEvo. Hell, ECU boost control causes a big ruckus over there. I just try to keep my head down.

If I may make a request and we keep the name calling to a minimum. One thing that everyone needs to keep in mind that isnt really aware of DSM tuning is the knock sensor on a 1G does not work the same as an Evo. You tune them for 10-15 counts of knock and make awesome power.
WAY BACK IN THE DAY-
There was a guy that ran 11's on a 14b and 450's tuning for mid 30's in the knock. Disregard the fact that he had aluminum icicles coming off the motor for a second and think about what that means. If you arent aware of how small a 14B is I suggest you go look at one. By the way it was not Scott Grey.
Fast forward to last year when everyone started experimenting with MIVEC. There were as many opinions on what the numbers in the map meant as there were numbers. Is it cam degrees, is it crank degrees, is it pulse width modulated, is it voltage, do the numbers stand for something else like a step, if so how many steps to the degree?
Not everyone here might remember the conversation that Ted B and I had going, where we were both stating facts, yet the facts didnt have 100% conclusive evidence at that time. In the end it all got figured out and for the most part everyone agrees on what things mean and what things do as far as MIVEC goes.
cliffs-Diehard DSMers do things differently than Diehard Evo guys. It doesnt make them less smart.

So this particular tuner is really stuck in the old DSM ways. He tunes with a narrowband and believes that 0-20 counts of knock is safe.
