I'd actually ask mean and median.

How many cars is that at the dealership you applied at? What is their average sales person pay? Both valid questions...

Regardless, I'm still all ears. What would make me really happy is tune the amps to just below known distortion and control levels with a remote knob for stagingWhy bother. Then you'll change music and have to do it again. Remote knobs suck for staging, not at all the purpose. Matching should be your goal. How you "match" is for you to decide as it is your ears, not mine. Add to that setting your gains to some Dave Holland or Charles Mingus isn't going to make you happy.

Never expected differently, if so I'd feel sorry for you.

I did sell pre-internet though. Expect non-commission, but sales bonus per unit now. Hard to go big that way.

Que? I may know a thing or 2 about the industry Working sales at a Chevy dealership. Stuck on the finance aspects of it. Wanting to ensure I can make proper cash without a real issue. J "proper" is relative. My second month I made $8k doing it, but that isn't so normal

WAY more than now. Well into the 12's.

Have you tried contacting any of the major online tuning companies or did you want to do a dyno tune? I contacted sct for my mustang and it was tunes for life and a tuner for 4xx. Even when I was looking at a supercharger setup. They said they could do a pretty balls on accurate tune for 81/87/93 octane.Blackbear will "rent" you a box for acquiring or sell you one so they tune to what you have. I just hadn't really ever thought about initial startup before. Was also too cheap to dyno my first car when I built it. Suppose it is the same. Fat and happy. Just didn't know if you could force the ECU to be smart and fat and happy.Procharger includes a baseline tune you can run on but won't make a ton more power till you a actually get it dialed in more. I mean when you get it all done you can just have the bof exhaust all boost then take it where ever you need to to get it tuned. I know the kits include a baseline but they also expect no major changes in everything else. Since I am throwing that out the window it is custom time. Just don't understand how you start then.I think you might be destined for a dyno only tune. Which can be ridiculous, a local dyno shop here quoted me 300 + 100 and hour and I had to buy my own tuner which is about 5xx or so.Why not get a Hennesey upgrade? Some of the Hennesey camaros, corvettes, cts-v's are pretty badassFor $15k from Hennessey in an Escalade you get 550hp. I can do that for $3k. $15k will get me more than 1000. And your lucky to get that from them. I wouldn't trust those asshats with a 5,000 foot pole. Do a search on them. There has been many installs especially on vipers where customers received head and cam work to find out stuff like factory head bolts had never been removed. Yep. Figured the price difference was enough, asshattery is even better.

I'd rock a Gallardo in the snow if it weren't for kids.No thoughts of bagging it?eZERO. Not lowering for looks, I could give a shit about that.

I am absolutely willing AND eager to pay for a tune. Figure it is the best possible lesson I can have. Actually want to start it now. Places like BBP tune for life meaning I can get a tune stock now, get the controller to play with, start modifying and then when I get the other parts in already have some idea wtf things do and what variables you can flip. Need a dual boost range setup as well. Boost controller in dash for daily and FUCK YOU power are in order.

You missed the question though. How do they start on the dyno? You need a "tune" before you can even fire the motor. 2nd part of the question is why would the dyno be any better at that point that acquiring data on road and using that. Once there a semblance of a safe tune I am not that concerned. Just don't know where square one starts.

WAY too fucking tall

Driveability first, then stereo to match. That way I can pimp around listening to sports radio in the ultimate fidelity

And now you know why I was distracted Stephen

Only the second car I've ever named.

Also known as "Big Ugly"

What I do won't make you happy, best hint though is to use something you know well. Tuning you can surely argue new well recorded music can help, but gains are easy and instant while tuning, not so much...

Order a 2 3/4 drop kit with sways http://tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=180 Panhard bar http://tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=163 Next is adding the 16/14 Wilwood Brake Kit. Found a used one for $2500 but waiting to really hear on the condition. Git R Done turbo kit http://www.kbracing.net/about.html Short block http://www.texas-speed.com/p-416-tsp-427-cid-lsx-short-block.aspx Haven't looked at having a block built up locally, but don't know if that makes me feel better or worse. Part of me of course wants to take it apart and double check everything myself too, but I really just don't have time.

Figure an all bolt on car these days is really probably the smartest bet.
