272's and tune
We all know if you get cams/pump a tune is a must. I dont know any tuners around town and would be sometime before I could get someone to tune it. So how long could the car run with 272/pump and boltons (exhaust,nocat,21lbs,bov,LICP,o2) Mind you my car hasnt had a tune yet...yes ,not smart but for some reason i've had the hardest time finding someone to tune it.
Should I just keep waiting or how long is too long runing around with cams and no tune ? (iam already having fuel cut off) Wideband reading 10.2 WOT sometimes. |
you really need to get tuned asap, I certainly wouldn't be doing any WOT pulls.

Tico, we really need to get together and get that car tuned for you. We are a short drive from Tampa and the difference is night and day from where you are at now. I would get with Glen (CT9A-MR) @ www.tampabay.dsm.org and ask him about his tuning experience with us. We are also tuning the Evom project Evo within the week. Send us a PM and we can go over scheduling and pricing. Thanks TTP {thumbup} |
TTP thanks, PM sent.
I got CAMs and o2 that need installing. Fuelpump I can do a day before tune. :thumbup: thanks for the help |
Get a tune. I drove for one night with new cams installed, had a tune the next day and huge difference.
|
I know your mpg is gonna shoot down.

MPG goes down without a tune. Goes up with a tune.
Cams typically richen AFR mixtures as the MAF frequency rises. |

I ran my car for two weeks with HKS 272s and not tune. I just kept it under 5k RPM and off boost. I had a tuning date with AMS set up though. I didnt read this whole thread and maybe you have plans, but I would suggest installing your cams and pump and whatever else and then do an AMS mail-in flash.

Well about a month I was going to do just that have a SNR install my Cams and do a mail in flash. But it never worked out. But so far I have spoken to the guys at TTP and Hope to get a date in soon to get cams installed and custom tune. Thats the plan so far. I've had the cams for over 5+ months waiting to go in. I think its about time I either get them in or sell them. :lol:

Yea Thats what im going to do install cams and reflash asap.

Well kind of. Every car is different and every tune is different. For myself I used to get 250/tank untuned with boltons. Now after 272's O2 and Custom tune I am barely getting 196miles. If I do daily driving with out racing anyone I can get 200miles. Once I start doing pulls for get about it I got 170miles the first week I got my car back... Love the car now just hate the MPG... nice trade off. :lol:
Just make sure you tell your tuner what kind of driving style you have. He'll get setup right. I know I bugged the heck out of Scott , still do so sometimes(lol). But if you don't ask you'll never learn. |
im thinking hks 272 or gscs, but im saying just cruising in highway at about 3000k
