im not comparing his CAR to my CAR. His has more mods, diff gas, etc.
I wouldnt mind dynoing the 2 back to back.
I am not comparing Neil's car with yours or with Ben's.
1) Neil was burning Turbo-Dodge E-PROM while you and Ben where in grade school.
2) He has successfully flashed 1st Gen and 2nd Gen Neons without the factory DRB-III tool.
Until I get my own project off the ground with another highly experienced Chrysler TUNING and OEM PCM "Hacker" using SCT's software I would HIGHLY recommend Neil Emiro over ANYBODY but the boy's back at SRT or the Small Car division at Chrysler R&D.
This is because to Ben, the stock PCM is still in Mandarin, while to Neil its in PLAIN OL' ENGLISH.
I've been giving him PSI, KNOCK, TIMING ADVANCE, AFR by RPM (200 rpm increments).
Within 4 maps, we've had it dialed in pretty good.
You guys have to remember that you can't get a good tune by saying " it runs lean on the top end" ... you have to be more specific.
I agree 1000%. Without accurate datalog information, you shouldn't expect anyone to tune, diagnosis, or "fix" any car worth a crap.

yeah mine is almost dialed in as well. Kevin is doing a really good job, i had nemiro tune my e1 set up did ok but when the maps got corrupt he sent me one tune that he thought would be ok it was soo conservative and it was richer than the oil companies and I emailed him trying to get another leaner tune he told me to lower my fuel pressure and I never heard from him ever again almost like he didnt care....thats my experience with him.....but back on topic my fuel trims are just about dialed in and we are getting the AFR's and knock (only 2.5 at bout 5800 then its back to 1 count) so all in all so far i am GREATLY satisfied
