Cams, X-pipe & sharktuning general Q's
HI,
I am thinking about adding some of Colin's cams and a X pipe to my 1990 RHD ROW S4 auto.
The car has around 80k miles and has recently had an intake refresh. All mechanical maintenance is up to date.
The problem I am facing is getting it sharktuned to optomise for the modifications. Being in New Zealand, no-one (I know) has a sharktuner I can borrow (even if I could operate it) and I cannot afford to buy one just for this project.
Is it possible to get a conservative tune done on a similarly configured car and put those chips into my car? I realise that this is not optimal but may be my only option.
Thanks,
Myles

Myles,
I will be doing more ST work on a local car with cams and headers soon. Once I have that done I could email you a BIN file to give you a closer AFR/IGN maps for use with those cams. Though final tuning would be recommended to your vehicle.
That said, the car will still run fine with stock chips.
