Yay, Rocket - very knowledgeable. Helped me alot with my setup. This is exactly what I wanted to avoid. I wanted the tuner to be able to see EXACTLY what was going on, not a "describe the problem and hope they understand" affair. Eww. For as skeptical as alot of people have been about the Sniper setup, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Haven't had a single issue with it. The tune it put together set me at 12.5AFR @ 18deg adv. I dropped the AFR to 11.4:1 and left the timing at 18deg. Runs like a champ. For whatever reason, it does have a little bit of a stumble for about the first 30 seconds you start it up when it's really cold outside. It's been down around -10 or so up here the last week, and the truck doesn't move until it sits and idles for yeah, 30-45 seconds. Then it's fine. I'm going to put a new coolant temp sensor in it and see if that helps. I noticed the gauge has been reading slightly higher than usual, so for $10, the sensor is a quick check/fix.Remote custom tuning can be accomplished with good results, you just have to datalog your truck and send those logs to your tuner. If your tuner even thinks about trying to tune your vehicle, in person or remotely, without logging then go somewhere else. Still it is best to tune a FI combo in person because you can hear, feel, and see what the vehicle is doing and help diagnose any problems that may arise in some combinations.
