no tune?

not yet, im waiting to get a tune till i get a cam, headers, zzp stainless exhaust, ported blower and intake, s2 intercooler, and 3000 stall. i will send off pcm for tune while i am installing all the above mods when i get them.
 


so basically ur mods arent doing much for u with no tune... find someone near u to give u a in car tune... no mail order tune is gonna help with mods planned.

im hoping that next time i get to go i will have new tires on the front, or i will take my 17 cobra r's and nitto 555 tires off my mustang and run them.

should i atleast for now get a zzp 1.0pcm
 
u need a tune badly to bring the mods u have to life... launching is key too... took me awhile but i can launch mine hard and not break tires loose til top of first gear for a split second.
 


i still havnt decided on which cam i am gonna run. i want a good lopy idle like i have on my mustang. i just dont want to kill all my driveability and fuel mileage.
 
Yeah i have a bin tune and it just not good. a bin (mail order) pcm is better then none at all but you should really have someone do it.
 
93 mph? Your knocking like crazy. TCS Pulls power to cut wheelspin so your screwing yourself there too. You need the driver mod and a bigger pulley. If you had ported heads that thing would be pulling close to 100mph traps if not faster...especially with all that work.
 
like i said it was my first time out to the track. it was at 12am at night and a lot of people there. i want to go back when its in the day time and have more time to run the car and practice launching and find out what works and doesnt.
i know i have a bad front engine mount by the oil pan. and my wish bone mounts move. im gonna get them all replaced with urthane mounts and finish my cold air intake before i take it back to the track.
 


new update. i went to the track again last night and car ran quicker. i installed headers sence last year. and a fwi. running 245-45-18 tires, tcs off and no wheel spin on launch. still no tune yet but i am getting a tune in the next couple months.


R/t.... .175
60'.... 2.050
330'...6.026
1/8....9.300
mph...75.46
1/4....14.474
mph...94.44
 
I drove the whole winter without TCS, through plenty of bad conditions. While it's nice to have, it doesn't compensate for driving safe.
