Don't think I would want someone tuning my car that isn't paying attention. Too much boost? Not watching RPMs?

I love how slow they were to get to the fire... even the guy in the trunk didnt seem to care.

In the second half of the video you can see the shift light come on and the driver stays in the gas. I wonder where it was set to go off at and if he went far past redline?

That is going to be a battle. You know for a fact the tuner is not going to take the blame for it.

Yeah, he apparently was looking at the computer screen off to the side and not watching his shifts.

That really sucks. They did take their sweet ass time responding.
Hopefully they are recognized so others will not bring their cars in for them to tune it.

When you are datalogging you will want to be looking at the computer screen while making a pull, eyes dead locked on that AFR to make sure it don't drift lean. When logging for WOT tuning I always have AFR, KR, and RPM maximized so I have a quick down and dirty for what is going on.

From what I heard that GT500 was pushing some pretty good power which may have been why it let go. A tuner can only make a car survive so long if it is already being pushed to its mechanical limits. It was pretty ignorant that they didn't respond as quickly to the fire though.

Could have been a shop car that they were pushing to the limits, that's why they may have been so slow to respond.

Well, I figured for a manual tranny, it would be best to watch your rpms, but then again you are right that he has to look at the computer to get it dialed in correctly.

Datalog will display RPMs too. You can set a redline on it too so that if RPM exceeds a certain amount then it goes red. Handy little instant end-run indicator.

Heck, you could hear when it got flat on top. No fuel it sounded like to me, time to get your foot out of it and check the fuel map at that rpm.

Over-rev is my vote/guess. Could have been a ton of things. I like action movies though.

Look I don't know the shop that was tuning this car but there are many reasons why a car can "flatten out" up top besides lack of fuel. Also if the guy was indeed looking at a computer screen then it is safe to assume he was datalogging and probably not posting a tweet on twitter. So, unless he just has really slow reactions, it probably didn't die due to going too lean. But then again I am just making presumptions based upon how myself and former colleagues have tuned cars; these guys may be different. :huh:









Either way everyone here is just speculating and should refrain from passing too much judgment until more info is in; especially those who don't have a tuning background. I don't know much about this particular fiasco but I do know if it were me that was tuning a vehicle when it let go I would be bothered by some of the assumptions people have made in this thread.
