Just installed the AEM wideband.. WOT I am getting 10.1-10.9 driving around I am getting 14.8-16. I have the stock tune, stock pulley, stock injectors. Should i have to tune just for these mods?

- JBP Noodle
- 3" CTI DP
- 2.5 Megnaflow Catback
- K&N Typhoon Intake

 

hey bro, yes you do need tuned for your mods...... anything you add to the car youll need to tune for if you want to power to come with it. some things like the header, intake can skew trims so bad itll cause a lean or rich code and start damaging things.

 

Ok, with those numbers I thought I would. I guess I'll hurry up and buy my smaller pulley and cooling mods. What do you think about "can" tunes? Was going to buy the zzp stage 3. Should I use that as a base tune, then have it dyno tuned?

 

did u install the wideband before or after the cat?

 

those seem normal, my car does the same thing with similar mods

 

It's a catless dp. But I installed it on the header. Has two o2 bungs on it.

 

I was told I needed to be around 11.8-12.5 wot 3rd gear pull. That's a "good" tune. 10.2 is way to lean I think.

 

fixed

 

without a tune those are about right as your fuel trims are skewed from the added air flow. and 10.2 is rich not lean. granted i'm a 2.4 but i've seen mine hit as rich as 11.2 on a WOT pull

 

At what RPM does your injectors go static?

For fun, I am running the stock tune, stock injector and stock pulley and all the normal bolt ons. I hit 100% IDC at 5095rpms

lol, thanks.

 

I would say its around 47-4800. 10.1 at 5500

 

at 5500 ish it also feels like its not pulling as hard either.

 

That's probably when the tune starts pulling boost.

 

Ok. Even if the boost gauge says it's boosting 13psi?

 

All the way to 6500?

 

What the boost gauge says.. All the way to redline.

 

ok if your boost gauge says 13lbs till redline and your wot fueling is 10s, yes your rich. If you get it tuned you will be better off of course, but gm kits are in the 10s. Do i recommend it getting tuned yes of course. If your not done with your mods and you plan on doing them soon just wait to tune till you get them. Just dont be wot happy.

 

Yea, thanks man. I've been nice to it since I seen those number. Just putting around it's ok. I want the zzp stage three with the 2.7. Are their tunes good?

 

Canned tunes suck period. So i wouldnt if u have a tuner near u if not u will be fine but u will still need truly tuned after some time.

 

Don't bash canned tunes just so you can make a quick buck flashing a revised canned tune to another persons car.

Yes there are better ways to go. But the ZZP and OTTP tunes are viable options for those who don't have a tuner and don't want to pay for a wideband.

 

^^^^Lmao first off i make my own tunes idiot. Second off hes better off getting it tuned instead of a canned tune. When i have someone come to me with a canned tune i put my tune on and revise.. Soooo shut the f*** up oh and forgot this as well, do u see where he lives if so how the hell will i make a quick buck when i wont be tuning him.

 

I wanna thank everyone for your help. I didn't wanna start anything lol. I'll try to just get the parts then dyno tune it.

 

lol

 

Lol what?
