under the section where you can swap maps n all, why isnt there a specific dicussion on how to tune the damm pfc?



i know it is easy n all, but i have no manual explaining ANYTHING on my pfc. im sure theres enough people here who have the pfc and under the regular discussion for ecu's pfc tuning never gets addressed.



my car changes almost weekely and i dont have the cash to get the stupid thing tuned. so how about it?



anyone else think its a good idea?

I'll move this to the PFC section, this isn't really something I can give any attention to in here.

if you have a datalogit that makes tuning the pfc super easy. the pfc isnt a lot harder than tuning anyother ems, its just a little less friendly (you're not supposed to tune it, your supposed to bring it to a shop)

Haltec seems to have more support in the states therefore it is a better choice. Over here PFC is the way to go, alot more options and shop that will tune it. They both have good points and bad.

id buy a haltek if i could 1) install it myself cheaply 2) sell my pfc 3) have some sort of ecu on loan sense i have no cash unless i sell it and my car will not run at all if i dont have an aftermarket ecu.

why bother going haltech if you already have the pfc? they both can be made to work equally well and you already got one of them

more supposrt it seems for the haltek, and easier to tune with laptop than with the power fc n commander.
