um...escort has 2 sitting in their shop if i am not mistaken and one is still N/A.

Jun made one a long time ago.

just to name a few japanese companies...

i shouldnt have assumed...i remember you saying you were keeping your interior. why keep an interior on a race only car?

I do not want my car to lean out...ever. That's like playing with fire. Why risk everything else you've done just to try to squeeze out that last little spec of oomph? That's just not worth it.
you are the one that stated "With the romulator, I can set it up my self so I KNOW it's to the max.". To the max, i would assume is on the brink of too lean beings that would most likely give you the best performance.

Yup. Sure is. But it's necessary. If you wanna play, pay. There will be no cutting corners.
the point was that you can get the best performance without chancing safety by doing it another way, that i think would be a little be cheaper than 20 hours on a dyno. do you know how much dyno time JWT and Ash spent creating programs for cars?

Sure...there is more than one way to skin a cat. I might even change my mind before I get to the point to actually make the decision. As of right now, I'm romulator all the way.
so, beings your doing this all yourself...i suppose you will not be ripping someone else program as a starting point. my problem with romulator is the fact that i give you values hat you cannot change for more than a certain time limit. its not like you can sit behind your computer just mix matching shit. this is what Ashley is working on...a software program that will work with Romulator/Zemulator, that will allow you to do MORE. right now, romulator is helpful but not as helpful as one would assume.

so your gonna spend that time on a dyno several times a year burning new chips when the temperature changes seeing as you want the MAX out of your car?

good luck man...all i am saying is that it is easier, more effective, and cheaper to buy tuning electronics to add to your already effective tuned chip. at the push of the button i can have track settings and DD settings with tuning devices like S-AFCII. at 200rpm incrememnts i can change the A/F to anything i please and then save it.

this will ensure that i am getting good performance on the highway but still getting decent gas mileage and not detonating the whole way down I-57. but when i am on the track i can turn it up a notch with the push of a button and have top notch performance, making things like gas mileage secondary.
