Message Not to shy from the dyno because that IS a great tool, but most of us have Greg tune the cars on the street. It's not something everything can do or has the time/ability/skill to do, but it works. In fact, we've had multiple cars tuned on the street go back and dyno much better (not just peak numbers, but area under the curve and such) than the prior tuning.

In fact, I think that happened on Greg's car as well as Seb's too. They both put down particular numbers and graphs after dyno tuning. Later they went back and after some street sessions it was drastically improved. Sadly, you can't "prove" this per se because they dynos weren't on the same day but the overall look of the graph changed, not just petty peak numbers like +/- 10-20RWHP. Of course, you can monitor things much better on the dyno and you can mimic many things, but not perfectly. Also, it isn't easy to safely street tune unless you know what you are doing. People have blown stuff up many times over. No need to argue it to death though...you'll never convince anyone until they see it themselves repeatedly.
