If you have HPTuners,

Reduce your boost below 5K in 1st gear, it will allow a MUCH quicker 60', (Thanks Daren for the backup)

Spark Dwell,
Highlight entire table and extrapolate from corner to corner. Don't go over 5ms above 6K

Trust me on that one


Add a second heat exchanger in front of the condensor and run in series with the stock one.

30 to 120mph only gained 39 degrees on IAT2 versus 50-60deg stock set-up.

Enough for now

 

What do you mean by this?

 

Do you have HPTuners?

 

in about a week, just wanna know what "ms" means

 

Miliseconds

 

what about a intercooler coolant resevoir? wouldn't that be about as effective as the extra heat exchanger?

 

It helps as well and i will be adding one to my car. That will come with Phase3 of my IC improvement project

 

So you've seen close to a 20 degree drop in IAT2 temps since the addition of the second heat exchanger?

 

Yea, no kidding! Truse ME on that one! I spend some time broke down in an intersection because of this!

 

Vary good info.

Im looking at geting the HPtuners but im not sure wherer to get it or how much it is.

Its on my lost of things I want though.

It will work with stage 2 Gm tune right?????????????

Starts at $500. Doesn't seem worth it unless you really know what you're doing.

 

That is what Fast is helping you to do, LEARN! So you will know what you are doing.

 

Well, I don't think I'll ever buy HPtuners. I plan on having any tuning I need done at the shop. To be more specific, you shouldn't buy HPtuners unless you know what you're doing or are absolutely sure that you will dedicate the time to learn how to use it.

Point I meant to make is it would be a waste of money if you bought it and couldn't properly use it. It would be a really expensive toy if you could only use it to monitor a bunch of numbers you don't understand.

 

What do you mean by extrapolate? My HP Tuners is coming today and I'll be tuning tonight!

 

Cool thanks.

But this will work with the stage 2 GM tune right?????????

I am willing to take the time to learn to use it correctly. I have tuned a car befor but it was a bolt on Fuel injection systom for a 350. It needs to be final tuned one a dyno but have not had time and the truck was just pulled out for the year a few weeks ago.

Yes, it will change a stage tune, or stock tune or any other tune that is in your car.

I prefer to tune at the track where i have airflow thru the heat exchangers. The best advice i have is to pay someone to help you get the base settings for your car and then you can "tweak" from there.

It is where it takes the highest and lowest value and smooths out the numbers in between those values.

 

Thanks so much

 

On that spark dwell...u don't want it to exceed 5ms anywhere after 6000rpm or after 6000rpm and above 11V IGN?

Dan

 

Im going to pay Intense to dyno tune the car and then go from there. I have already talked to them aout it. There only about 5 hours from my house.

Later

 

Well we tried the changes on my car and the car freaked out...but my and robs maps are way different...well see what happens when we go dragging on Fri and clutch installing on sat lol.

Dan

 

Glad your finally in the 1.8 60 ft's.... ?

 

So what does this do for a gain? I'm still trying to get a grip of this. And does this work on a 05? I don't see any option in hp for extrapolate. Do I manually put the numbers in to smooth things out or do Interpolate or smooth? Thanks

 

oh god... what are u doing with hp tuners?....
i can only hope you figure things out and dont mess up your car

 

I mostly know what I'm doing I'm just making sure what I think is correct actually is...
