How's things in the Big D???
So you and TampaBayNSX-R both got the software and cable with your Split Second/ BBSC install??
Is the idea for you to do some tuning on your own? If so, what did you wind up doing?
Im actually not planning on tweaking with mine, because knowing me, Id screw it up.
Hey All, A couple 'o' quick words on this subject, which are VERY, VERY important. I did not give everyone the software because I really do not want people messing with the fuel maps. It is very, VERY dangerous. When I do it, there is a checksum "key" that proves it was my numbers or not. I knew early on people would want to do this, and it is not for me to stop them, but to be totaly frank, Frank- It is more than possible to blow up your engine doing so, it is very quite likely you will blow up your engine if you start playing with the little numbers in the little boxes. It seems like such a simple, innocuos thing to change a little number like 11.4 to 11.5, but doing so is enough to destroy an engine. If you choose to take this ridiculous risk, you do so at your own risk. I obviously will not stand behind any engine damage that occurs once the program I left in your box has been changed, and reinstalling the original files does not reinstall the "key". I am REALLY sorry to sound so harsh, but I cannot make enough of a big deal about the dangers of doing this. I had to diseminate the software, in order to continue tuning and updating your system, but PLEASE use my numbers only. I am tuning almost daily, whenever I am near a dyno. I never, NEVER make changes that cannot be safely verified on a dyno, with a car with no cats or upstream sampler, and a good a/f gauge. A good a/f gauge does not include a series of flashing lights sold by Autometer or similar. Only a person with an (engine) death wish would tune his car in this fashion. All the updated tuning I do is available to all customers at no charge, but please be patient. I tuned one yesterday to within a single digit of 400, and a beauty of a curve, but I spent all day and had a killer dyno team working with me. Please, PLEASE do not try this at home. And, if you plan on using a professional tuner, please call and discuss his credentials with me. There aare more bad tuners than good plying this trade, and I do not stand behind engine damage resulting from "professional" tuning either.
Split Second does not do retail work, and therefore has no real tech support. They deal only with the trade. Please do not bother them, it only makes it harder for all of us. If you need something with the software, please call or e- me. I will do all I can to be prompt in my replies.
More Tonight- Stay Tuned. (get it- tuned, stay tuned. Get it??)
