Tuned my first forced induction car with TerminatorX yesterday and i couldn’t believe how smooth everything went Stopped at 12psi 12degree. Stock 5.3 with stock cam and ebay GT45. Made a safe timing table off the top of my head ans did use ‘’seft tune” then manually made the fuel table pretty. Everything went perfect

Holley works basically like a factory ecu with the long term/short term fuel trims, holley just gives you the ability to change settings and makes it easier to understand each setting (PID) with some extra features

I have an old TPI Camaro engine laying around, I'd like to play around with this aftermarket ECU stuff. Probably a silly way to start but Hands On is about the only way I can learn. I have a better understanding through your videos. Thanks Joe. 👍

Currently fighting the new project woes on a wizard tune. Definitely helps get you past the stupid installer issues (me). Easy to blame the software, but then find out the throttle WAS actually hanging and not the tune. DOH!

Love your videos, i am watching Tune The Trilogy now, best $$$ i have spent so far. Really appreciate it

[echadmiyodea]

You're exactly right about everything you said in this video. This is great to see online.

I am old school and was on the fence which way to go for Eli or natural aspiration carbaration. OMG YOU MADE THAT EASY!!!! Thank you so very much!

This guy should have more followers. And I'm not just some weekend warrior by any means, so I can say this guy knows his shit. And another thing that gets people caught up on "well this guy said this & another that" etc etc. Which doesn't necessarily mean either is wrong, just different ways & or opinions on how to reach similar or the same end goal. Everyone eventually learns their own ways.

Then of course you get weekend warriors who watched 2 videos, heard some things from others, & have an uncle who's half sister has a friend who knows this guy who said this & that, & so now they are experts, start making videos on instructing others on how to do things. This is a real real problem. I personally think these people should be called out & have their channels canceled!!! Because this can be costly and quite dangerous.

I have no problems with those beginners who are starting out and making videos about it, but are fully open about being beginners. I've seen videos of people who straight up admit they are learning as they go along with you making videos. And to me that's perfectly cool. But don't betray yourself as some expert when you are not

Yeah I got sucked in with the self tuning marketing. On my standard motor, loved it. Could have become a sales rep I was so impressed. Then, threw in a built motor with timing control and Duh. Months of hassle, poor running and aggro. Now I'm off to a tuner to tune it. Which is exactly why I ditched a carb and spent 4x as much on the full efi setup; to not have to tune it every so often.
Thanks for this video - at least now I know my 1500 bucks isn't being wasted on a dyno day.

learn table not being zero was making me think something was wrong, thank you for clearing that up!

[jesscneal]

Excellent vid Joe. Cleared up some things for me for sure 👍

[NoFox_Given]

I have a brand X ecu MS3 😂 my fuel tables are setup for switching so I have table 1 strictly NA and table 2 is all in boost so I could do as you suggested… have higher resolution. I’ve been told it was a waste of time but it makes me feel better 😂

[tGTA]

Well, you just popped my bubble! lol. this is good to know. thank you.

[jasonbrinegar]

Hell Yes!! Preach!!
Look at them sales tho Boi!!😅
And let's not forget, for an additional 79.95 VZ analyze will tune for you too!! 😁

[jacobvanhalteren]

I heard some scenarios where guys washed the cylinders on brand new motors or hydrolocked stuff because it kept adding fuel

[ctuning]

Wonder how many engines that blown up due too failing Lambda sensor and zero "tuning". The "self tuning" as advertised, ppl do really think they do not need to touch it after installed.

[GaryDePriest]

Thanks for this and your "which Sniper..." video. For a carb to Super Sniper conversion, which 3 additional sensors would you want added in order to provide the best NA tune?
Fuel Pressure, Crank Position, ????
Want to make a video about it and why?

[Flitzer]

I haven't had an O2 sensor fail, but I did have a header gasket fail and it made my terminator go ape shit. My correction is set to 25%. Thankfully this happened at home. 😀

[tonyimbarrato]

Thanks Joe !!! Awesome presentation and great insight on how the system works. I would assume the Atomic 2 has the same tuning capabilities? I just installed my A2 and it runs like a champ, I do A lot of refrigeration controller programming so this just gets me thinking I’m leaving technology on the table.

I’m 18 years old never worked on a car other than in hs for class I took on a 69 302 coupe that had a holley sniper efi every-time I turn the key it squirts fuel, and starts to leak I was wondering if any ever experienced this problem I’m not sure if it’s because of the fuel line or something else
