DynoComp Tune - Custom Dyno Tuning - Scottsdale, AZ

[FokalPoint]

Hey Everyone,

Just want to say that I am not affiliated at all with DynoComp in any way. I simply saw a post someone shared in the facebook groups and thought I would share some information here.

Claims:

Pricing & Details:
Tune - $795-$895 (I was quoted $795)
Dyno Time - $290 (quoted)
Total - $1085

Requirements:
- Upgraded spark plugs (HKS M45IL or Denso)


Tune Details:
The vehicle used for this dyno run was completely stock according to the post which makes the gains pretty impressive. Their torque numbers for the baseline run seem a little high compared to other dynos i've seen and you can't tell what smoothing they have set, but otherwise pretty good looking graph IMHO. As with any other dyno tune, everything would be custom tailored to the specific vehicle and mods installed. Currently I am just running DIY intakes and resonator/muffler delete. Future mods before tuning will most likely be BMS Intercooler, Injen Intakes, and maybe ARK secondary delete and MBRP catback. Maybe someone local will have some experience with them in the past and be able to chime in with more information.

Nice thanks for sharing. Dynocomp is pretty reputable in a lot of communities. By the end of this year there should be tuners everywhere.

yeah that's the impression I got while researching them as well and reading reviews. Like any shop, they've had some customer service complaints in the past but nothing that would make me nervous about dealing with them.

I like the idea of having a local shop that could tune my car vs sending my ECU off to be bench flashed or running an OTS tune that isn't made for my shitty Arizona gas or hot weather haha.

Custom tune is always better than a canned one

Sounds like a reputable tuner and agree with others that a custom dyno tune is the best option, but I don’t understand why they’d make the lowest gains I’ve seen on our Stingers. It’s either a very mild tune or they haven’t unlocked enough of the ECU tables to allow for the same gains other tuners are achieving.

Gains of only 47whp/89wtq is not impressive to say the least. Kagantuned stage 1 on a stock Stinger makes about double the whp and over 60% more wtq. His baseline was 316/336 and his latest dyno showed 410/479 with no other mods.

Great to see more tuners getting involved with our Stingers, but definitely do more research so you can make an educated decision before your purchase.

I appreciate the input but forgive for thinking that your opinion is heavily biased. You've been the main supporter and driving force behind raising awareness of Kagantuned. His gains are super impressive and there is no denying that, but big numbers don't always mean that they are made reliably either. Not to say that lower numbers means more reliability either, just playing devils advocate haha.

Even if Kagan is putting up bigger numbers, I think I would rather have a local tuner that is able to troubleshoot issues and tune for my specific car/environment/fuel/etc. Now if they ever unlock our cars tuning and we are able to flash the tune using OpenFlash or ECUTek then I'm all for some remote street/dyno tuning. Right now though, the only thing close to that are the piggybacks and the settings that are adjustable within the app/software.

Would love to see a wideband of this run and I think power was left on table... But it's exciting to see more people joining the game

I dont deny I'm biased and admit I am a big supporter of Kagantuned, as well as BMS & the JB4. However, the reason I am is because I've followed and heavily researched the top tuners & tunes available for our Stingers. Over the last 2 years I've read almost every post about them and have communicated with and/or questioned the top 5 tuners that make products for our cars. I've weighed the pros & cons of each one and so far only BMS & Kagantuned are worthy enough for promoting due to their knowledge, experience, customer service and overall superior products.

I agree that the highest numbers don't necessarily mean the best tune, and typically record numbers mean pushing the limits which usually does reduce reliability. However I know Kagantuned is testing & tuning his personally owned Stinger, and his businesses motto is "Driveability is my #1 priority". He has explained that he's aware of the limits for boost, ignition timing, AFR, LC, etc. and has set his stage 1 to maximize performance while still being conservative and reliable.

Again, I agree having a local tuner that can dyno tune your car and make the adjustments needed for fuel, mods, etc. is ideal. I was just alerting you to tuners that arent familiar enough with our ECU and are only adjusting very few ecu tables which produces poor results and even reliability issues.

FYI- We have a reputable tuner in FL(HydraMotorsports) that tunes high performance Mclarens, Hellcats, etc. and tried to tune 2 of my friends Stingers. They promised 500hp+ but they didnt crack enough of our ECU tables so they both were slower than my other buddies JB4/Lap3 Stingers. One started having problems with his engine and the other switched to a different tune because he couldn't compete. You simply want to make sure your tuner is experienced with our cars specifically and not just guessing or changing a few ecu tables out of the 1000s that can be adjusted.

The reason that just any old tuner can't go at this car even if they've broken records on lots of other platforms is due to the design of the ecu how its strategy works. Most tuners are used to simple platforms were you add some timing to say 8 tables and adjust afr on 2-3 and dial in boost. This car has Limiters on top of limiters and diffrent ways each one interacts based on the scenario.....

With out 1/4 mile slips / Draggies we don't get a full story as well as the lack of AFR on this graph. ATM the best in the USA is Tork with Kagan possibly coming in second but I've not got any outside reviews of said tune yet. Unlike others who "Have read everything" I personally have years of tuning experiance under my belt I'm also one of the few people in the USA with a DAMOS for the stinger(Though incomplete).. I'm EFi Uni Certified as Well as AEM...

The Again....
We still have poeple in this community that think 14:1 AFR @ Peak TQ is safe and ok

You should just start the Tork Vs the World thread. Who is running 14:1 AFR are you still confused on how a sniffer works?

Just to finally shut you up about 14:1 AFR. Even though i should send you nothing here is 4 graphs from last night. You wont get the full logs but here is enough information



This is putting down 470 WHP and maxing out at 17-18 PSI

 

[Thorne]

. I'm looking at the graph and first gear appears to be Lean. In the GM world this would be a issue with the PE Timings, This is why your car stays in the 12s PAST intial spool. Your screenshot even backs up what im saying. Follow the yellow lign back and you will see it doesnt seems to go RICH until Second gear. Tell Alphaspeed they need to change the LATENCY for PE and this issue will stop. That might not be the correct term in sim2k-260 but if they are worth there fruit they will understand what im talking about.


Stop getting upset at me for giving EXPERT feedback.. I'm awell aware of the Latency between sniffing. I HAVE 1000's of hours of dyno time under my belt. Tuning was my full time job for a few years. You don't need to take my feedback Take EFI101 or any basic tuning book they outline AFRs that should be used...


My attached screenshot circles the PARTS of your screenshot that indicate LEAN during spool/intial hit. I'd wager a shiny quarter that if take your car out and log 3rd gear coming on you will see a similar LEAN section before the car switches to Richer targets...


I'm not digging at you Jesse your just another guy rying to go fast. But I am critizcing the AS tune and based on the avaiable data which is limited I would not suggest anyone buy it.

I attached a picture to circle what im talking about, It's not even TORK vs the world, right now Kagan/Tork both have numbers around Launch control and other items that indicate a descent tune.. I've even talked to Kagan a little about reviewing his tune,

So to be clear its not Tork VS World, It's Tunes I think may be descent based on experiance tuning and a indepth understanding of our platform. I think Kagan and Dyno-Comp might be players... I just don't have enough data to support AS, But I do have info that indicates they may not be in as good of a posotion as others.

Show the starting of the spool in the gear. I'm looking at the graph and first gear appears to be Lean.

Thats the thing you think you are giving expert feedback but your not. All you do is try to "prove why tork is better" You just have no idea what you are looking at. The car is always starting from a roll. Im RWD so wile im going a couple mph yes its running more lean im not hitting on the gas im at about 30% thottle.



By the time Car gets to WOT its already dropping to mid 12:1 AFT

 

[Thorne]

Its only on INITIAL HIT. Take a look at the circles I circled in your other graph. Your cutting off first gear which is were the issue is on these reports... Which is the same thing we see on your dyno charts. Why do you take this so personally?

I legit said Kagan / Dynocomp might new players its not about TORK vs World, I 100% support new players I just don't support people trying to hand me a EGG and tell me its a potatoe.... Stop getting upset at me for showing you YOUR DATA and ask AS to finish your tune.

My tune is done and to what I know its the highest US WHP ECU Dyno out there to date. LMAO No you go to every thread and say Tork this tork that in not so many words but check EVERY competitor thread. You will find you saying something similar. Yes my car has so many and i bet it has more dyno pulls than any car in the states. Wonder why I havent thrown a rod yet????

 

[DaBears4Lyfe]

Me not knowing what I'm talking about while tuning a 620WHP Supercharged Camaro..

LMAO You love to bring up that you used to work on cars. Glad that makes you think you know something but you know DICK about the Stinger ECU.

Go troll another competitor thread im done so this one doesnt get locked.

Still think Dynocomp is putting down some great stock power.

 

[Thorne]

Thats me again no clue what im doing..... Tuning the 1st c7 Corvette in columbus ohio... Not big power but I leanred a new Strategy in a evening and made gains.

Sorry I don't have more graphs the shop i tuned for is no longer in existance but I'll list out some cars I worked on.

TT Camaro 975whp (stock ecu)
Worlds Fastest G35 Sedan (Standalone Ecu) 750whp
Worlds Fastest TBSS (Stock ecu) 700Whp
Bad Ass C6 (Stock Ecu) 925whp
R32 Skyline (700whp aem)
TT Corvette (1500whp AEM)

 

[Thorne]

so your argument is You;ve had lots of dyno pulls and my car hasnt blown up so its good???? Really Dude come on. I go in every tuning thread and lookat the details and provide feedback. I'm sorry that TORKS the fastest and you have beef with Tork... But if you note I +1d Kagan and Dynocomp...

If your tune is done why not post FINAL Stage 2 graphs that don't show a huge dip?

The reality is our ECU protects it self and the engine is well built. Prove me wrong man go out and break some records. You take this shit personally and reality its not personal.
