Hello all, I have been a member here for a while since buying my TC and normally keep quiet and just stalk the forums but I'm currently looking for a retune on my TC. I'm from the Pittsburgh area and am looking for a dyno tune from any reputable tuners around the area. The car currently has these mods:

- AEM intake
- Injen Upper Charge Pipe
- ZZP catless downpipe
- Hahn Catback
- HP tune

The reason I am looking for a retune is because when I got the original tune the car was given a tune from the tuner's solstice GXP and he didn't have time to datalog it. Also since then I have gotten the tune I have added the downpipe and upper charge pipe so it needs a retune anyways. I know that the AEM is the most temperamental of all the CAI to get the AFR right and before the tune I would probably switch to the K&N SRI. The car runs decently enough recently I ran a 13.36 at 105 on drag radials, not incredible for that set up but I know theres more in it in terms of driver mod (only a 2.02 60') but I also know that with a proper dyno tune that is specifically dialed in for my car would also help it out. Any knowledge of a reputable tuner in the area would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

upgrade you intercooler first it'll make a world of a difference then worry bout getting the dyno tune

 

Buy Hptuners and get remote tuned

 

Yeah get hptuners and get remote tuned. Ther e are several guys in pa that remote that I know.

 

U never texted back lol

 

Never got a message! lol send me another one and we can get things going 713-560-3889

 

Thanks guys for the responses sorry I couldnt get back sooner, Ive thought about getting HP tuners and doing just that but I'm not exactly sure how it works. The credit system scares me a little, do you use the credits as a one time thing to tune the car unlimited times? Or do you need credits every time you go back in and tweak it? I would be fine if it was a one time cost but if you have to keep buying credits on top of an already pricey software I'm not sure if thats what id want to do

 

Once your car is licensed with two credits your car is licensed forever on your hptuners interface . Unless you change your serial number on ECM. Credit system is easy.

 

Ok, thanks that sounds like something that would be easy to do then, I appreciate all the help. Is there any place in particular I should look into getting the HP software from?

 

I would just order it from hptuners.com unless you have a hptuners dealer around you at a local speed shop

 

Ok, I have one more question on their website there is a standard or pro of the VCM suite, do most people use the standard?

 

If Lsj use pro if you can afford it. If LNf standard. But you can use the standard for both

 

What's special about the pro version? I've always wondered if its worth the extra 15o+

 

The ability to add bus+ or other systems like wideband and etc in to it

 

Ok thanks all for the help, I'm definitely a noob when it comes to everything tuning wise with our cars. Im LNF so luckily i get to spend less money haha. All i need now is to save up for it. Again thanks for all the help

 

get the intercooler first it'll be woth it then get the tune you'll be more happy, your stock IC tends to break/leak under higher boost plus it can't keep up in cooling the air once you start pushing more boost/ making more HP I have a treadstone tr8 it made a big difference, plus this way you can account for pressure drop of the IC now instead of worring about it later
