Well James Rakes is in Vine Grove and he can tune. Not a whole lot of places dyno tune the car. Most tuners for these cars do it by street tuning!

LS1 tuners don't tune LNF's well unless they have one.

ccro62

They do but I have talked to css3 and he seems pretty straight up and is far more affordable then anyone else I've found

Yea dyno tuning is an expensive process. And I would make sure if you do take it to that place that they are dyno tuning then taking it to the street to fine tune it. There will be differences in driving the car on a dyno and on the street

Decided to go with CCSS3 meeting him next Saturday

Good choice. You're lucky to be so close to him too. ****** lol.

ccro62

Nice choice, you wont be disappointed

Just curious robk how good where your results from him after I talked to him and some others that have been tuned by him I've heard nothing but positive feedback.

ccro62

Btw the reason I want to know yours is because the others where supercharged and I have a white 09 SS with full bolt ons

Well let me start by just saying that i purchased my car w a trifecta tune, it made 267/318 at the wheels. With in several months i switched to a former member who tuned with HPtuners and the car made 290ish/340 at the wheels. I had some issues with the tune and couldnt get the guy to help me out, ended up switching back to the gms1 tune and was going to run this for a few weeks to see if any of the same issues would occur. Sadly(BUT NOT REALLY, lol) I only had the gms1 on the car for roughly 27 hours before master james touched my tech 2 port, lol. Put it this way on a conservative tune the car made 304/397 on 3 cylinders. As it sits not it makes 340ish/430 at the wheels on an e47 tune.

Dad Jum what's all of your mods? I would like to get in the 3s and would love to do e47 but no one sells ethanol around me ��

ccro62

I did the treadstone DIY cai and charge pipes with a k&n typhoon filter and 3in turbo back exhaust with a catless down pipe and I'm getting ready to install a tr8 and am currently sitting on a stock tune not even a gms1 and it's putting out around 14-15 psi with the occasional 16 spike. Do you think I should get 3 bars to run his tune?

3 bar sensors help your car read boost past 22.3 psi, which IIRC is what the stock 2.5 bar sensors max out at. its just a peace of mind mod to know your ECU can read past 22 psi but not a necessity

Stock map sensors in our elevation stop reading past 24.5 lbs so if your wanting below this your fine. Only reason to get 3bars is to see above the relative boost that the 2.5 see. So to me no point unless larger turbo or risk the turbo and engine by going above

ccro62

Sweet! thanks for letting me know guys i'm still new to the lnf cars lol just upgraded from lsj and loving it

Yea wut james said, lol. I was lucky my car came with the gms1 sensors already installed (obviously). But all my mods are listed in my garage James wont steer you wrong, and he will answer all your questions that you have. Like i said before enjoy
