in your other thread you said its not the stock conti's that right there could make it not spin.. so not end of story lol factor that in.

mildly tuned tc with good tires wont spin second, its right on the verge of losing traction but may not.

 

NOPE...but the car is wicked fast for sure.. If it can do 5.2 sec from 4000RPM to 6000RPM in 3rd (60-90ish) that's pretty damn fast in my book. I don't think 240HP (crank) could do that on this car. It would be closer to 6 sec. I just timed the video posted on this thread of a stock car on a pull in 3rd from 60-100 and it took 7 sec. That would translate to around 6sec to 90..just what I would expect, btw. That's why I have good reason to believe my car ain't stock. I'll get around to pulling the full run soon.

Tires STICK big time..great F$$KN tires for sure!

 

I'll read and compare your tune for free anytime. just drive to me or to one of the others that offered. find out real quick. no more guessing lol

 

Standard Trifecta tune running Vince's prefered AFR still broke mine loose in 2nd on the Conti's but anything stickier wouldn't have. Ronns boost levels leads me to believe it's a mild tune like TF or Superchips.

HPTuners will read entire the Trifecta tune but I could never open the TF file after I saved it, I have no experience with the Superchips.

At any rate, you can squeeze more out of it when/if you are ready.

 

he still has the gms1 on the way

 

What would be the effect if I overlay GM1 on any tune a might have? I don't want to go backwards here!

 

better off doing gms1 and if u want more out of it, get a tune over that
from what i hear

 

i hold anywhere from 18-20 and may see a small creep to 21 when i get aboue 120. im still stock.

 

I'm running an HP Tuners tune on top of the GMPP base tune and sensors.
I hit 25, hold 24 to ~4500 and taper to 16 psi @ 7k. Catless DP & a free flowing intake raises the air flow #'s but the freer exhaust lowers boost pressure. Still makes enough power to break second loose at 4k through 7k. It will break loose in 3rd in cooler temps just nailing the throttle since upgrading the clutch. It used to slip.

If you want more than that, you need to run a 24 psi Trifecta tune but the turbo becomes greatly overspooled at 24 psi above 4k or so. The GMPP tune keeps a very lean midrange AFR (read Lambda in the LNF) and conservative timing same as the stock tune and tapers the boost at higher rpms to save the turbo.

A few are running HP Tuners over a custom tweakable Trifecta tune so they still have some control. HP Tuners hasn't unlocked all the tables we need for all the toys like 1:1 throttle, wastegate control & fuel pressure.

From what you have posted today, you are at or above the GMPP tune levels.

 

Just my guess.. but I'd bet a superchips or mild trifecta.. I'd put money on superchips tho =p Curious what it will be when you find out tho
Btw, what kinda tires are on it? Just curious cuz I'm gonna need new ones soon and being tuned, it does spin all the way thru 2nd unless the asphalt is hot n sticky, or at a prepped track.

 

weird, never seen a red bracket like that or orange tape on any wires

 

Tires are Falken ZE 512 all season.

 

Have you tried the cruise control on and off thing that trifecta does with their selectable tunes ... or the traction control modes? Does it redline at 6300? What is the launch control RPM? A superchips tune can have a stock redline or 6500 . It has a 4000 rpm launch control limit thou.

 

What's with the battery being replaced here?

I sent Vince the VIN and approx time frame the owner had the car:

I don’t see any record of having tuned that car.

Found this thread on another forum...this leads me to believe I have a tune that has muted the learn down feature which would vary the boost depending on mainly temps. I have found I boost the same ...hot or cold weather and at 20-23 levels.

Quotes:

This one *reminds* the previous poster that his boost is modified

All this points to my car being in the latter category.

 

Ive been following this thread along with the "new ss ex-racers's take" thread.

My 09 does 20psi in 2nd, and 18psi in 3rd until it hits 4400 rpm then it spikes to 20psi and then it's 20-22psi in 4th and 5th, so I think it could just be normal.

I mean it fluctuates between 18 and 21 depending on the day, so i will be surprised if ronn's car has been tuned.

Also, if it were tuned, would the dealer have been able to spot it during their 948 point inspection?

Compelling saga though, keep us posted...

 

I shouldn't speculate further since I don't know much of anything about tuning, but it does look odd. But the numbers don't seem strange.

They are pretty much what i get give or take, and depending on the temp/humidity/dew point.

 

I would say get rid of the tune. Go with GMS1 or one of the folks on here that is good with HPT. My only beef with going HPT is that, as far as I know, none of the tuners beat and monitor their cars on a road course. Say what you want about a tune being a tune, but all sorts of **** breaks on tracks that you do not get from running around on the street and drag strips.

Me? I'll take the John Heinrichy likes.

 

Area 47 beats and monitors his.

John Powell beats his and sends the logs to Area.

 

OK I finally have an answer using the video!
http://www.youtube.com/user/huckerna...35/9kwBWGptAQo

At first, I just timed the whole run...and tried to adjust to my results...difficult The answer as to how my car performs to stock and trifecta was right in front of me all the time! Time just the range on the video that I tested...62-94 (100KMH-151KMH)!!!
Ok here it is:
The STOCK run in that range was ave 6.1 sec..my car is 5.2 sec
The Trifecta run in that range was 4.7 sec ave...my car again 5.2
I know the views have some parallax and the video speed *may* be a slight factor, but I used other video speeds and they were almost the same. I took around 10 sessions for each and got the average. So, it looks like my car is between stock and Trifecta..being closer to Trifecta, It's DEFINITELY not stock.

Superchips is what im thinking.

 

How are you timing this with your stopwatch?

 

LNF or LSJ? I don't recall ever having heard of an Area 47. Maybe he predates when I started to read this board.

 

Area has a LSJ

 

I have the video playing at slight magnification with a stop watch in my hand. As soon as the needle hits 100KM (62MPH) I start the watch and when I see 150KM (94 MPH) I stop it.
Did that 10 times and took ave. I checked the timer running at the bottom and its very close to my stop watch. It isn't *exact* but it's pretty damn good for comparing my *in car* results. The difference between stock in this video and my car is well beyond error measurement.
I'm going to try to do the FULL run (as in the video) soon to compare. I have those #s taken off the video as well.

 

notice its 90kmh to 155kmh, the speedometer make it look like 150, but im almost at redline when i left off.

90-155kmh = 56-96 mph
