It does take a lot of time to simulate real world driving, but it can be done on a braked dyno. It allows each TPS%/load to be held longer than on the street and for each cell to be dialed for max torque. A few of the better OBD2 tuners do part throttle tuning on the chassis dyno, which is why their cost is higher. But i guess it all depends what equipement you use. As you know, emulation speeds up the process considerably.
Emulation as you know, reduces tuning time considerably. Moates' Roadrunner works well for OBD2 emulation.
I am happy to hear that you dont just tune VE and spark. There is so much more to tuning that that.
Do you like Ease? I have been eyeing Ease for a while.
Did you get your copy from John at TeamZR-1? He seems to be quite knowledgeable.
Thanks for teh response.
peace
