I'm going with Dean in this argument. What you're describing is exactly what we work with on the mustangs, and it works just fine. Would it be nice if the software did absolutely everything for you? Sure, but it's not necessary. An Excel graph works just as well as a graph in the tuning program (or better).
Dyno tuning is great and all, but lots of pulls add up to be expensive and you can't be on a dyno 24/7 whenever you want to make some changes to your car. There's all KINDS of stuff you can tune by yourself on the street if you have this level of control over the ECU, from idle control, part throttle tip-in response, deceleration injector cuts, throttle breakpoints, etc. etc. etc. All of the little things can add up to a big difference in the way the car responds to you, and it's nice to be able to customize it so it feels ideal for you.
I understand you guys have to be more careful with what you do since your engines are boosted and on the verge of blowing up at anytime (
), but trust me.. if you're comfortable with your level of knowledge on what you're doing it's very nice to have the control to change anything anytime.
