Using Osiris for the cam angle btw...

I don't think meth would prove very useful on an NA car. I have very limited experience with it on forced induction, so I'm sure there are better people to answer the questions. I'm just not a personal fan of any artificial add ons like meth, nos, etc....just not my thing

I hate racing people and having them post up big numbers and a win claiming NA - without mentioning they were squeezing/squirting… all motor is ALL MOTOR!

Osiris does let you control you cam angles. That is what was used to tune my car. I picked up 20+ rwhp just by changing the cam advance.

The real-time-tuner version of Osiris does give real time control of the cams. It is currently being used by several pro tuner shops and an end-user version is in beta.

the end-user does but the tuner doesnt. once you leave the shop you cant change it, you have to go back. what i meant is that you have it changed, but you cant change it whenever you want. now that i think of it that probly doesnt really matter to most people though. im used to myself, where i change my tune just about every week so sometimes i dont think about the typical user
