dsmlink for a 1g!

[Kevin90GSX]

I made 451whp with a GM maf, afc, and Diver chip.

I dont see the need for the link either. Does it control timing? Thats the important thing. I havent really looked into it since I went with the AEM.

How can you not see a need if you don't know what it does?

I think they fill a nice gap between devices most people use for budget race-gas/full throttle tuning and full stand alones. It works good for a pump gas street car.

Well for the simple fact I made 451whp without it. Also was running 11.3's without it.

Just dont think for the average DSMer not looking to go sick the DSMLink is necessary when they can net the same results with a GM MAF and AFC.

How did it do driving to work everyday? How about at an autocross or road course? See where I'm going with this?

Honestly my car was driven to work DAILY in traffic etc. The car drove no different. I dont see where your going cause the car ran mint. It was only an AFC and GM MAF (used as blow through).

I know you maybe hinting at people who had issues with the MAF but I am not one of them. She made 451 reliable hp all day long and drove as well as my 2000 Eclipse I use to own.

I'm glad somebody gets those things to work. Pretty much every car with a GM MAF I've seen had one issue or another. Probably mostly user error, but that just goes to show you how easy they are to use.

I think DSMLink makes things MUCH easier. It's very easy to tune, reasonably priced, and the cars drivability is usually better then any other unit out there. I'd rather have DSMLink then a bunch of piggy backs (unfortunately you may have to use a MAF-T anyway at some point) or an AEM (since I don't have the patients or skill for that).
