What is the most important thing you think about when modifying your car?

Is it power?

Is it that you enjoy cruising around on a nice day?

Is it that you want to win in your racing class?

Whatever it is, it won’t be nearly as good (as much fun) as it could be if your car doesn’t start and run whenever you want to move it, or race it, or go cruising in it.  Even if you have a full on drag car, the fun will quickly diminish if every time you try to start it, it fouls plugs, or you need to warm it up before you can move it, or put it on a transporter.

Tuning for maximum power is obviously what the owner of the vehicle usually wants.  What you may not know, is that he also wants the vehicle to be as nice to start and to drive as possible.  If you don’t know that this is an import part of having fun with your vehicle, you may not talk to the engine tuner with this in mind.

Now, there will be limitations to how “nice” to drive you can make a fire-breathing 1/4 mile or racetrack stomper.  But, you can optimize the tuning to get the most driveability out of every engine package.

As a customer, this will make you happy, and as a tuner, this will show your customers what a great tuner you are and they will be happy to tell their friends how great their car drives.

How do we achieve this?  I’ll be going through several of these tuning areas during future posts, so keep an eye out for them.

But, that’s all for now.
