I did 4 runs data logging, the highest knock I seen is 2.4 on one run I believe. The others were around 1.8 at the highest value, this is a 2100 rpm boost launch in 4wd all the way to 112 mph.

But it does pay to datalog a tune and copy/mimic it, then sell it? I'm just curious how often this happens.

And only one person/company that I have seen on the forum gloat how they are the best how they have the best tune only 1. SoCal. And they say he is confident in his tune. Big difference in being confident and cocky. No other tuning company gets on the forum and talks **** on how good the tunes they have and how they are the best and put down other tuning companies and go on and on like SoCal/Shawn. LMS, Unleashed, MPT, 5* non of them get on here and talk **** and put other companies down and blow up what tunes they have. Just sayin!

Lam, knock sensor, afr, rpm, spark advance, boost, misfires, waste gate, couple of others . He specifically asked for knock, lambda, rpm, and afr, I had already gave him the rest.

They are only seeing the results of the tune file. For example, fuel trim tables are part of what makes up an A/F Ratio. You don't just go in your tune software and input an AFR you want achieved.

They helped me and I did it and sent it him. Well a couple of days go by and this member is now working with a different tuner company trying to build a race tune to be the fastest. Also this company has stated numerous times how there tunes are dialed in and can't get any better, but what do you know they have had numerous tune revisions since I've done this. Sounds a little shady to me but It could be fluke. I guess if you can't do it on your own just cheat and copy somebody else's.
Working for a different company? I thought Socal was solo, but he has mentioned helping other companies out. And he has been claiming to be the best for more than 10 days. I really don't like his LMS bashing and told him so. I don't know anything about tuning, but even with data logging, you have to know what you are doing to effect the right changes. All this has me really curious.
