Somehow it just got assumed that this takes like really really longer then if you use a machine... where that came from beats me... Of course I aggree that one should not labour over intensively on the tuning aspect of a service call, and I also agree 100 % about the all sided service perspective. I use the machine quite a bit. More sometimes and less some other times. I advocate its use for all phases of ones tuning career... but I also caution against the tendancy to rely to much on it. It does our industry a diservice if we allow tuning devices to simply take over controll of that aspect of our job. And that is a whole discussion in itself. Cheers !
