July 17, 2014
Want to go fast? This is the first of a series of upcoming performance based classes presented by Ron Bilyeu with the tuner’s best interests in mind.This video is called “Going to the Prom” and it starts off by providing a better understanding of the engine management system and interpreting scan data. Ron takes this information and applies it to performance tuning giving you a solid foundation in what to look for when calibrating a vehicle for better performance.
Ron’s Teaser Tech Tip: If we ask a technician “what’s the main reason the computer needs to know fuel levels?”A good repair technician will understand fuel levels are monitored for the EVAP system.But a tuner knows every time the fuel level changes by 25%, the computer will decide whether or not to go to a high or low octane spark timing table.
In this highly requested course on performance tuning, Ron Bilyeu introduces you to the basics of performance tuning and what areas of the P.R.O.M you need to address with the addition of certain modifications. Ron explains that with today’s modern vehicles, the best thing to do what attempting modifications is to have a solid plan. Most every modification requires an additional modification to
complement one another in order to get the most power. A great tuner will know where little extras are needed and how to address these changes in the P.R.O.M in order to maximize horsepower
