Yea if you read the thread it says the dyno wasn't calibrated right (correction was incorrect) and it was to show my gains from the turbo. Aren't you the one who got all his posts deleted for being inflammatory? Don't you just pay someone else to do all your work. Ptune=you had your work done. get real

Don't hate on the intake and exhaust. why put money into something that will just be taken off. So I got creative, keep throwing money at your car. We can line up and see whats up in the end
all right guys lets be polite or at least try to be polite. If your answer is going to be facepalm lets not post it, come on now.
Seriously WalkaWalka, dont be cheap and tune it professionally ! Because is the most important thing and spending $500 now can prevent you from spending thousands later and that later can become sooner then you think...

Homemade because I have a kid and I go to school full time. I also work two jobs and own my own house. And this isn't my only hobby so if I don't know everything there is to know about tuning my car, why is it so hard for you to realize that you are just a punk kid living in mom's basement with a bunch of little pictures you downloaded off some website.

^^ True story.
Regardless of whether the guy wants to be ignorant by not reading up on all the facts before posting something worthy of a face palm..give him a break.

There are institutions that teach how to tune properly and all the steps involved, you don't go out with your scangauge and FIC data log and get it right. Institutions teach you properly so you do not risk the longevity of your car.
The point is there are right ways and there are wrong ways; this thread is obviously the wrong way. There have been numerous threads on this topic and each has ended the same way, either learn how to tune or have the car tuned professionally.
Throwing a map on the car from another tC is a recipe for failure, each car is different and there are many other variables, just because a map works on one does not mean it will work well for another, that's the purpose of a base map, it's a starting point not the finish point.
Learning how to tune isn't impossible but isn't a cake walk either...

You have to start somewhere whether it be with no map at all or with a map someone else created.

I was going to tell you I have a buddy who lives in Chicago who does street tunes for a living and I'm pretty sure he's familiar with AEM fic.
It your call now.

Guru? We're putting twin turbo on a stroked 351 to 408 with megasquirt fuel injection after this. This is what me and my friends do. O btw, we did the stroke and full rebuild too. How many valves have you ground? How many seat have you three angled? Guru.. I got your guru. custom turbo guru.. hah anyone can run piping. Make real power. 408 puts 430 whp with a carb na
My response was facepalm because that's what this thread is....simple as that.

so pretty much i think people should post something usefull towards the OP or pretty much dont flood the thread. I Can assure you he is NOT the first and not the last person to be posting something like this and there is no point to get upset over it..thats IMHO.
I'm not sure if that information was posted towards me or not ... where you explained about specialty tuning schools but you should have posted that and addressed it the OP to make him aware if he can't understand himself.
P.S. I and most people obviously understand that tuning is not exactly as easy as some might think it is hence why we are going to people with professional tuning experiences like Vinny Ten, P-Tuning etc...
