You've got a car meant for high performance. You've upgraded stock parts to provide you with more horsepower. The only method to make sure your vehicle is living as much as its upgrades is to buy a dyno tune. A typical dyno tune runs about $400 and can require 6 hours or even more to complete. If you don't want to get stuck with extra fees or longer hours around the dynamometer, listed here are the things the mechanic may wish to make sure you have done before you drive in.
Fill 'er up!
The number one pet peeve among dyno tuning mechanics is that the car is introduced lacking the necessary gas. You car will probably be pushed over 100 mph and tested for six or more hours. Frankly put, without enough fuel, the dyno tune can't be completed. Technicians will have to halt the test to go out and return with gas for the car. Besides this add time to the dyno tune, however, many mechanics (tired of this recurring problem) will prove to add on a hefty fee to your total to cover the gas and inconvenience. One mechanic said he charges $5.25 a gallon for any gas he has to go out and get. If your car is running on 3/8 of a tank of gas, the tune will not work effectively. Do you want to waste $400? Filling up the tank is a simple task from you, so make sure you get it done before you bring your car in.
Oil Check and Regular Maintenance
You already know your vehicle performs its best with new and clean oil. Make sure you've had an oil change done within the recommended mileage time period before you get a dyno tune performed. So if you feel seriously concerned about the performance of the engine, spend the additional bucks for synthetic oil. You will also wish to have a clean oil filter. While you're at it, all of the components in your car that require regular maintenance and cleaning should be done prior to a dyno tune. Air filters, transmission fluid, coolant system, spark plugs- all of it should be at its top condition to ensure your dyno tune answers are accurate. You don't want any leaks, weak parts, or any clogs going into the tune. Similar to the gas, a mechanic performing this procedure will have to replace a clogged oil filter (or whatever part isn't in working order) in order to perform the dyno tune. Chances are, they do not keep the parts available, and will need to order, retrieve and set them up to continue the tuning. Expect one last bill to go up.
Tires
Are the tires up to speed... literally? Your vehicle is going to be pushed to a minimum of 100 mph. Can the tires in your car right now handle that? Take a look at tire blowouts during dyno tunes on YouTube. They happen, and the result is the end of the dyno tune before the shredded tire is replaced.
The best Parts for the Vehicle
Odds are, you've modified your stock parts with assorted aftermarket what to increase your car's overall performance. Let's hope you have got the best parts for the job. During the drive for more horsepower, the tendency is for car enthusiasts to blindly fit their cars with cam gears, turbo chargers, superchargers, nitrous kits, etc. which are either improperly installed (wiring especially), or not suitable for their vehicle. All that extra junk underneath the trunk won't mean a thing to your car's performance if it's not the right stuff. Do your research and work with your mechanic before adding the features so that you can invest in true improvements to your car's performance.
