alright, Im a complete newb when it comes to HP Tuners.... Ive read the website and their forum and am still pretty lost...

Im just asking for a comparison of getting a "canned" tune done (AKA Vector or Westers...) versus getting HP Tuners and potentially screwin up my ride?

 

me2 wonder the pro's con's?

 

Its always better to have someone custom tune your car (if they know what they are doing) Canned tunes are a generic tune for the mods for the car. As you know all these cars are different so a can tune is not always a good option. In my opinion id go with a custom tune.

 

custom tune all the way, intense, vector and all those pepz are always a good base tune to get your car running. Maybe not as safe as and wont make as much power as if you would custom tune ur car, specifically for your own afr, and how much timing your car would like or not.

 

we all dont have access to HPT though... and i don't have any tune shops near me

 

If there are no shops id get the canned tune then and then get a wideband AFR gauge to just make sure your not running lean.

 

this is my problem........... no tune shop, no dyno........ so i guess a canned tune IS the way to go!

 

BUt make sure you get a AFR gauge. It will make sure your not running lean.

 

He's running a 2.4l n/a not a SC. Boost pressure varies quite a bit between identically modded F/I cars accounting for the tuning differences experienced on the SC (notably with Intense's tunes). I don't think he will have a problem running lean, as there is not as much tuning varience between n/a cars with identical mods as there is on F/I cars. Just be sure to tell them all your mods and the primary altitude you will be driving at.

 

Kool deal........
im chatting with Westers....... i think i just might...

 

Oh damn I didnt notice it was a 2.4......

 

If you can go for HPT,I understand the position you are in but if you can go for it I aplogise to everyone, Allshot tends to make these misposts cause he such a *****

 

i would need to be able to dyno it right?

 

I just dont read peopels sigs anymore... Mike did you tell him about the cams from JBP yet

 

CAMS!?!!?!?

tell me more...

 

ids really like to hear in from folks who have westers or vectors canned tune and opinions on both...

 

If you habe HP Tune with a Stock 2.4 what kinda ganes will you get

 

its in the tuners hands...0hp or 15+hp...its all in the tuners hands as to how much you'll get.

 

cool will see when i get my cam and downpipe in

 

hmm if you have an automatic then westers is the way to go.. if you have a 5spd then i would stay away and look at vector

 

well i notice in your sig you said u have a 5 sp but u have westers....

have u had any problems with westers?

was it a simple plug n play? any issues at all?

 

eh.. i learned the hard way lol. i noticed no change whatsoever with the westers tune

 

Quick ? If you have a custom tune what is a good afr and if you get the canned tune do they set the afr at a safe ratio like 12.7 what is best arf value for most gain not too lean not too rich does anyone know. If so please let me know

 

seriously?!?!?!?

they wouldnt give you a refund?

see............ stuff like this is making me really learry of ANY canned tune....
