I didn't start this discussion to try and take a ready-made, commercially available product and figure out how to DIY cheaper or easier.
I started this thread because every time I have posted about experiences with nozzles of the 200 and larger variety being perfectly tame, and in fact cleaner than smaller nozzles on the street and towing hard I have to listen to cackling about how that's because I tune my own truck, and nobody else can expect to ever get that without paying for someone to personally sit in their truck and do the same....
In other words, the discussion was started because the ones sacrificing time, effort and money apparently did not have a ready-made solution for anyone with say a 200 nozzle that wanted to do anything other than drive away smoking the block out and burning holes in pistons.
When I read about people REMOVING a perfectly good injector because they could not BUY a decent program no matter what they tried, that pisses me off.
Especially since that same person then has NO CLUE how awesome their truck would have driven with about 20 seconds worth of decent hex flashed to it.
If this subject had already been conquered by the pros, they sure as hell did a good job of hiding it.
What I don't understand is why everybody doesn't have a half-dozen or so files for a 200 after various different sessions with people, so that the bases are covered, and while someone will invariably want different preferential things, like shifting, idle speed and such, the simple ability for the truck to functionally go down the road without smoking out the world should have been on lock years ago.
If I wasn't stuck tuning an oddball like AEB, people could already be running my program and giving feedback. It could then be getting altered and shaped into something that could be a readily available go-to file so that worst-case, people would have a file they could depend on. And also, be a standard so that problem TRUCKS could be found out when you run the same file across multiple trucks and 20 run like X and 1 runs like Y....
My goal is for people to upload files that they feel good about and with enough of them the void where people can't even get DOWN THE ROAD worth a damn will be filled.
With enough files people could search through and likely fall on something they would actually like in its entirety.
That's the goal. If I have to, I'll write some new stuff for DAC. My downfall for 99% of the target here is that I cannot BEG an auto PCM to control a 4R100 with any shred of resemblance to what I asked for. If I could figure that out, I might be able to help with the most common cache codes.
Uploading files to be seen and run is the key. I realized I couldn't upload stuff for VDH because all of mine has God knows what for trans tuning, because I pulled the wires away from the Ford PCM and handed them to a PCS.
Files. Anybody not selling files that wants to provide the most momentum should upload stuff. Even if the file doesn't do what you want. In fact, maybe upload trouble stuff more than anything. As long as it's labeled as such so nobody accidentally tries it thinking it's a good file.
Having people across the country be able to pull up a file and actually LOOK directly at the maps is my goal here.
