Diablo sucks it...

Was the log for the headers?

on the move..

 

[Lhemi]

Yup

 

[popcenator]

You could get a second opinion. From what it sounds like, he tunes for all the bolt ons and the more you add the better the tune fills out. Does it feel like it pulls well? Did I see you posted a video?

I just need to get a TC..it may be a while before I can afford headers.

I just wanted to know if you were having issues with the programmer itself or if you just weren't happy with the tunes. I know you had issues updating it originally, but unless it freezes on you or you manage to brick your PCM then it's a very straight forward tool.

Sean has several 'canned' tunes he sends out to cover most of the bolt-ons, and you obviously have the tune already to cover what mods you have. At this point you've got what he can give you, so you've got what you paid for. Unless you want to tune everything based off your AFR and fine tune your WOT AFR, but doing that is best done on a dyno where you can make back to back pulls.

The more I play with it the more comfortable I get and the easier it is. I'm building my own gauge clusters, all kinds of thing now.

So from here on out , maybe I use my local guy?

You'll get used to working with the programmer. It took me about 3 months before I was comfortable enough to not think twice about making changes on the side of the road. It's now not uncommon to see me just cruising around with the laptop on the passenger seat.

I'd give your local guy a try. The only issue is if he hasn't done a VVT hemi before he can make it run worse; there's a lot to be said about experience with these engines. I'm personally trying a local guy who normally does fords but owns a SRT8 magnum and has tuned a friend's 5.7L '10 chally. If it doesn't work out then I'm back to email tunes with Josh.

There's only so much that can done with a mail order tune.

You go to any car forum and not many will say get a mail order tune. Unless you have too.
You will see way better results with a custom in person tune and that doesn't mean a dyno tune. Just driving the car around to monitor the parameters, logging them and going back to review it and see what had to be changed. This sometimes might have to be done several times.

There so many external factors that go into a tune. Elevation, humidity, temperature etc..

You need to check this forum to if they know anybody.

I belong to that forum...

Did you ask anybody on there about a local tuner?

 

[Lhemi]

I've already got a local tuner ...

So today I got I find out first hand how HFs tune would help my MPGs. It seems that the MDS was turned off with this tune, but I didn't want it off. I liked having the MDS because of the higher MPGs. Well today I made my 3 hour trip home and set cruise control to 74. From Birmingham, AL to Nashville, TN is a fairly hilly drive, but there are a few flat spots. Even with the hills, I was getting 20 MPG! The best I got with MDS set to cruise was maybe 18. So I'm definitely happy about that.

 

[HLram]

Yeah I am not a fan of MDS. I have had mine turned off ever since tuning my Ram. My older truck has a superchips and I experimented with it on/off with all the different tunes and saw the best mileage with perf tune with MDS turned off. It has 3.92s. So on this one I just turned it off asap. Throttle response is sooooo much better in town with it turned off.

 

[Lhemi]

Same here, that was the first thing I killed with my BD. But out here it's pretty flat so it did work better.
