Tuning Info
Since 2001 Innovative Tuning’s Mike McGinnis has offered engine management system tuning for a wide range of EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) vehicles, with over 4,000 vehicles tuned. We tune the full range of devices, from the simplest piggybacks like the S-AFC to standalone systems and reflash based solutions. When it comes to standalones, we specialize in AEM EMS systems and we’re factory certified on them. If AEM doesn’t have a plug and play application for your setup, we also specialize in custom wiring any fuel injected vehicle for a Vi-Pec, Autronic, AEM, etc. standalone. From snowmobiles to drag cars we’ve tuned a broad spectrum of vehicles and have the experience to help you achieve your goals.
Proper engine management tuning provides added horsepower and torque across the entire RPM range while maintaining the customer’s preferred margin of safety. We’ve tuned thousands of daily drivers, street/track cars, and all out race cars according to each customer’s guidelines.
Street and track tuning are performed using a high speed GPS and yaw rate based logger, Bosch wideband oxygen meter, which always has less than 50 hours of use on the sensor, and a high performance laptop for our logging/tuning use. We have a high speed data aquisition system if your onboard logging is not sufficient.
We also offer tuning on our in house chassis dyno which accepts front, rear, four and all wheel drive vehicles ranging from cars to buggies and some trucks. With our dyno’s variable load capability we can simulate a wide range of conditions without ever leaving the shop. Vehicles we tune on the dyno are also street or track tested (when possible) to ensure they behave as intended under real world conditions. Anyone interested in a combination street/dyno tune simply needs to let us know when making their appointment so we can schedule it accordingly. These combination tunes provide the best combination of drivability, power, consistency and safety.
For those who are too far away to make the trip to our shop, we offer out of area tuning by the day and half day depending on distance. Tuning can be performed on a dyno, at the track, or on the street depending on your needs. Please contact us for details.
