So did you'll try tuning something more complicated and just settle on a Camaro tune?

Good numbers. I noticed you used STD correction instead of SAE, did you do any pulls using SAE?

[Trackman]

Those are incredible numbers for minimal expense and self tuning.
Great job. I wish you were my dentist.

I asked the shop owner the same thing. He said he always uses STD

[Dega Man]

Your numbers are still impressive for the dollars spent. Congratulations!

I think the only reason he always uses STD is because it gives his customers a higher reading than using the more correct SAE which is the best to show how much your car is really making corrected to higher standard, otherwise if you show up in the summer in hot houston your car will read much less rwhp !Than newyork in nov...

So its always better to use SAE reading so the temp doesnt play tricks on your mind. your HP will always be the same all things being equal !
SAE has been the gold standard since the early 1990's,and uses a correction factor of standardized temperature to 77-degrees F, 29.23inHg and dry, 0-percent humid air.
SAE also uses a mechanical efficiency (friction) modifier in the correction factor which is what gives us the normal 15% power-train loss due to frictional loss, which is fairly accurate in a standard all-motor applications.
STD only uses 60-degrees with 0-percent humidity and an absolute pressure of 29.92inHg does take in to account for friction loss also !!!
STD shows what your car made ,corrected to a lower (older)stardard
MY 650rwhp is SAE, a lot of shops will give you both,but some will only give you STD to make some car owners that have no clue whats going on feel better about what was done to their car.
I personally feel that SAE numbers should always be used,but I think your RWHP is really about 25rwhp less based on the correction factor of about 4%
If you look at your graph and dont see something on it like smoothing 2" or a graph on the web be suspicious, you might be looking at an altered graph or, at least something run with a strange correction factor to make the numbers look higher than they really are.

I have seen shops where customers have asked for a certain part to be added to their car and the car makes 15rwhpSTD less and then they take it out on the shop owner,so click SAE and look your cars got 10hp just like the book you read said it would...just add up what each parts makes to tell you what hp you have.100 +10+20+80=210 not..

GREAT JOB on doing the tuning,its fun(till it goes wrong) & gives you the proud feeling of being able to say I DID IT ALL, I am guessing you installed all the parts also ? based on the total cost there was no labor....I used to do some tuning,and all my labor but times change now i just get to like i said GOOD JOB,but I hope you still foucs on the teeth before you make a pull I had to say it.... sounded funny at 5am...which is when I also wrote this so it should be correct,I think !!! goodnight ...

Here we go. Redone w/ SAE

My only issue is warranty is gone. Not cool in my book.

You still have some very good numbers for the money spent using pump gas.
