Thread: Tune????

I'm tossing around the idea of taking my 05 Gxp to Hennessy tuning down in Oklahoma just to tune and nothing else and see what kinda power I can pull out just with a tune, it's 400$ a tuning session and the pulls are 4 or 5 times lol but this is the guy that builds the Hennessy venom so there tuning is magical!!!! Any thoughts?

if this prooves sucessful, it would be nice to know another tuner.

you should at least install some mods to make it worth wile unless you got money to burn.

Not a lot of money to burn just wanna pull the max out of it and just have an exhaust and a cone filter maybe, might be building a fox body sense there isn't a lot of mods for our cars, but still have a fast daily.. On hot rod tv articles they went from 305 up to 365 just with a tune and a cold air intake then to 4xx something with a cam

$400 for 15whp? nope nope nope
Overkill sells a canned tune for $180. Sure, it ain't custom, but a custom tune isn't going to rock your world any more than the canned tune at your mod level.

Unless your adding more mods I would just go the canned tune route for that price

I wouldnt even waste the money right now, save up for a trans rebuild in the future then think about more mods.

Improved shifts, dod tune-out, slightly better gas mileage might be worth $180 to come people. At the very least the trans might last a bit longer.

My trans has 1400 miles on it so its not a worn out pos yet lol and it's a new trans not rebuilt and I still have a warranty let it break hahaha lol can I get a link to that tune?

If you guys go to my new here thread you'll see videos of running my car the shifts are instant and quick!

Just say no to overkill go get diablow and then have a Lew tune he will get scans of your vehicle and send you emails of the updated tune to actually match your mods none of that over the counter wait a month b.s let the 3800 guys have the overkill **** we have better options

Alright I'll look into his can I get a link to that one to? Sorry my iPhone isn't allowing me to search lol. Is that what a lot of gxps and gtp guys are using vs over kill? Do I log it and send it to him? Or how does it work sorry for sounding stupid I've had dsmlink in my eclipse but never logged to anyone lol just logged only once

DiabLew Tune - Custom Diablosport Predator and Trinity Tunes by 06MonteSS whats awesome is if you dont wana have something like hp tuners the diablow makes things easy say if you wana turn DOD on for a long trip or whatever you can just use the device to turn it on or off and the its definatley user friendly. If you get the overkill pcm tune u have no control over certain features you may not want on all the time. i had the intune myself when i first got the GXP but decided i wanted to go full out and tune my self.

Sweet thanks 91. I just want something a little extra for now until the cam and nitrous gets put in and that'll be a little while shop bills around here are at low of 1300 to do it. I want a warranty job vs my own lol I know it was coming

Intake with MAF upgrade and a tune for $100 LESS than JUST a tune from my competition

Custom tuning is two different things; #1 is the quality of the revisions you make to the factory tune to accomplish the goals you're trying to achieve, and #2 is customizing for each individual vehicle.

I'm very confident with what I do in terms of #1. In regards to #2, LS4 owners who modify are typically not complex, they follow the same basic mod pattern of intake, cat-back exhaust and tune. If I preload my tune into a 2006 GXP for example, with the typical mods, and the tune isn't bang on, often I just need to pop the hood and reclock the MAF sensor back to the factory clock position because people don't realize how much that matters, reset the fuel trims and start again. Other than that, there isn't a lot of variance from vehicle to vehicle, it's not like a 3800 where people do a much wider assortment of different mod combos and compound it all by running varying pulley sizes to go with. As such, I can provide a "canned" tune to go with the typical LS4 owner's mods in much the same way that GM provides their tune for the factory LS4 the same from vehicle to vehicle, and achieve great results. If I were to be able to revise someone's tune remotely, the first thing I'd tell them is buy a wideband (or I'd rent them one), otherwise I'm not making any adjustments to WOT unless I can see what I'm dealing with because there's nothing on a scan of a GM vehicle that will tell me what the AFR is coming out the tailpipe.

I respect the work that Lew does and I know the delivery method he uses is very convenient. I'm a Diablosport CMR tuner for Dodge, I'm fully aware of their products and what's done to create their tunes.

I'm comfortable that I can send the tune I do, with the quality I can create within it, have a pricepoint that puts me roughly 1/3 the cost of my competitor and have a lot of very happy customers.

And hey, if you want a custom tune, purchase an HP Tuner Suite new for $500, I'll provide a tune for $150 including initial adjustments as required, and you'll have a more powerful and useful product at the same price as buying a Trinity/tune.

^^ this will is a great man!

hope to see ya again at the BBQ THIS YEAR ???

That's cool and all and I have nothing against your tuning expertise or price, however I dealt with you in 09 when I had my GTP, trying to get a tune from you, paid you and heard nothing back for a week after a numerous emails to see what was going on. Had to file a PayPal claim to get my money back. A lot of people had the same experience with you. I'm sure you're a great guy and all but I'd rather deal with a tuning service I can trust.
