In its infancy software tuning was often performed
by under-trained personnel using very simple equipment
on very simple circuits. As the industry advanced
the complexity of the systems grew and it became
increasingly difficult for companies to continue
offering products. Unfortunately the technology
advanced faster than the technical capabilities
of these companies and subsequent problems arose.
The early companies had neither the electrical
nor the mechanical background to build a product
that was both safe and powerful. The dark age
of software tuning had begun. Even today most
of the current tuning companies still adhere to
the old technology and black wizardry of trial
and error tuning.
Serial Port Programming
Software tuning has made vast advancements from
the early days. Revo engineers rewrite much of
the factory source code which allows us to sample
much faster with higher resolution and expand
the limits set by the programming restraints from
the factory. This allows us to monitor 20+ inputs
simultaneously in real time instead of one. We
spend on average 5 days of data logging and tuning
on our codes ensuring the maximum level of performance
with the greatest level of driveability. The result
is better than factory power, fuel economy, and
driveability.
