I am strongly considering buying the equipment to burn my own proms because of all the negative things I have heard about off the shelf proms like my Hypertech Tmaster I have, and all of the others. The thing is, I look at this whole page and my brain starts hurting because it looks so complicated. My question to you guys, is it really that bad, and can a rookie at this jump in and improve on the Hypertech that I currently have? Any responses would be greatly appreciated, and will probably ease my headache Thanks

 

My suggestion is that if you start slowly & OBSERVE what happens when you do ONE thing you will notice how that affects the engine. If it was the wrong way, go back. if it was the right way, go forward.

if you do too many things @ once the matrix gets infinatly complex. I think that you will find that doing one thing @ a time & keeping a journal will get you where you want to go.

Burning a prom is not complicated. Putting a bin file on a prom is so easy you will laugh the first time you do it. Just read the manual that comes with your burner and you're flyin.

The tuning/editing part is where the work comes in. The actual changes you make must be measured and tested. Otherwise you are pissing in the wind.


Get the tools and do it.

 

It's just like learning to drive. Once you bet the bits organized, and repeat things a few times, it falls into place.

Timing, is timing, and fuel is fuel. No biggies.

 

Let me make this really easy...

Understanding tasks which have lots of steps WILL ALWAYS be overwhelming the first time you read about it. You cannot expect to read the Prom Burning Intro article and fully understand everything on the first read. Being overwhelmed is completely normal. That's AOK Now, what you have to do is to devote more than just a day or a week. Print out the article and read it over and over again. Anything that you don't understand just do a search on this message board or a search on the internet. Day by day it will make more and more sense. Day by day you will be less overwhelmed.

It is definitely a lot of info on the first read. But, after reading and researching it really is pretty dang easy to get started

I agree, from the beginning it sounds more complicated than it really is.

What we all need to realize is that the most stupid question is the question that never gets asked!!!! In other words, don't be afraid to ask about things you are uncertain of, better to ask once too much than ruin something....
