Good summary Debbie and Mike.

I almost wish I had never typed the words G-tech...

It was never the focus of my point, the Street Tuner was the original topic, the G-tech was just one of the accesories I wanted to go with it. Street tuning can and has been done without it for ages. If I end up with an AP ST, I will most likely start with a SS Dyno tune with as many pulls as I can afford, and Nate feels makes sense. I will then have a solid baseline from which to start. It may end up being perfect, but collecting way to much data and making small tweeks to it after that will be fun, and I hope to learn a thing or two.

One last note on this approach...

I would bet that most every race team, F1, NASCAR, etc. that have all the money in the world, Dynos, wind tunnels, etc. still tweek their "engine managment" if permitted, be it computer controlled, or a guy with a screwdriver or wrench messing with some adjstment, at the track.
