Tuner question. - 5/5/2008 6:37:49 PM    TJMJoe   Posts: 205 Joined: 2/12/2008 Status: offline Dont ask me why---- Is it possible to 'tune OUT' a SCer?  Essentially making the car run at 300 HP with the addition of a SCer? If so, would it burn more gass? If not, how much CAN it be tuned down to to total ___ HP?  350?  400? Thanks a TON!! < Message edited by TJMJoe -- 5/5/2008 6:43:09 PM > Post #: 1

You can tune out the "making more power" part but you can't tune out the parasitic losses. Try it & your fuel economy will SUCK at the same time the engine is making dull power.. _____________________________ 2002 GT convertible 1999 Yamaha 1100 Virago (in reply to flyifrvfr) Post #: 7
