Need help before install
ok so im getting the ottp pcm stage but what about the zzp stage kit most of the questions are about pcm tuneing since i bought everything for the tunes but just need to know if its worth getting
is boost reductions in first worth it?
or would it be better to just have tc disabled
now whats a good rev limit 6800 7200 or 7400
will a torqre damper be better then polly trany mounts and are the polly better then the sold steel ones
now i got the zzp h/e do i replace the stock one or the zzp infront of the stock one
with the ottp kit with the torqre damper will i need a new clutch
for my pcm tune im going to send it first so the timing is perf and is plug and play
now if i get it tuned from ottp and heres the deal i can do the injectors and everything else but the pulley
so my question with just the 60lbs injectors will my car make it a few miles with the stock pulley
is boost reductions in first worth it?

Reduce the boost. I have a tvs so i got more power but i have between idle and 4000rpm set to 75% boost. Between 4000 - 5000rpm it works up to 100%. 5000rpm and on is all 100% boost. Helps u launch without spinning the **** out of your tires
now whats a good rev limit 6800 7200 or 7400
7200 is a good spot for the rev limit...shift at 7000rpm is good. Less chance something could break
will a torqre damper be better then polly trany mounts and are the polly better then the sold steel ones
i never had poly mounts. But i had the TD installed by itself, was good on the street but still got wheel hop at the track. then bought the TTR Solid Engine Mount, pretty much the same thing, Then had the engine mount with stage 2 rotated mounts...good traction but way to much vibs. Sold the engine mount and now im running the TD with stage 2 rotated mounts...works amazing...little vibs.
now i got the zzp h/e do i replace the stock one or the zzp infront of the stock one
people have different opnions about this. I personally thinks its best to run the aftermarket heat exchanger in front of the stock one. Have the lines so the coolant flows through the stock heat exchanger and then the aftermarket one.
with the ottp kit with the torqre damper will i need a new clutch
depends how u drive....but im going to say no. I have the mods in my sig. My car is at 85,000km...this car was my first car and first time driving a standard so i burned the clutch abit learning how to drive it....clutch is holding up great.
for my pcm tune im going to send it first so the timing is perf and is plug and play
now if i get it tuned from ottp and heres the deal i can do the injectors and everything else but the pulley
so my question with just the 60lbs injectors will my car make it a few miles with the stock pulley So u want to install/tune the injectors with the stock pulley...drive it and then later on put a new pulley on? The answer is yes...as long as the tune is set up that way...you can pretty much do anything (well not ANYTHING) but do alot by just changing the tune. However if u tune the car to run 60lb injectors and stock pulley, once u put the new pulley on u will need a new tune.

agreed with the TD, keep the zzp in front of your stock and run both like he said, my clutch was fine and like he said its all how u drive it. and the plug and play is a yes, but youll need a case relearn, dont forget that!!!

ok got a question is the ls4 tb worth getting on the car before the tune also no i want to know if the stock pulley would work for like a few miles till i got the a mech place. also how long does it take for the ottp pcm if you ship first for them to tune and ship it back to you. thanks for the help guys
o one more thing if i get the pcm programed for a header and downpipe and i dont have them will it mess up anything. or will it run fine till i get them

Yes, you will make it a few miles to a shop with the OTTP tune and a stock pulley...just don't beat on the car.
OTTP ships the tuned PCM and kit the same day they receive it from you and you should receive the package in about 3 business days.
The PCM doesn't need to be tuned for a header and downpipe. People use the upgraded parts to allow them to tune more aggressively but the actual parts do not affect the tune what-so-ever. So yes, you can get a slightly more aggressive tune before replacing the header and downpipe and keep that same tune after installing them.

The LS4 throttle body makes your throttle real touchy (or so I've heard). If you drive the car daily I wouldn't recommend it but ultimately, its up to you.

correct about the ls4 however u r somewhat wrong about the header/downpipe. I guess it depends what mod u have and what u tune for. I had everything in my sig tuned really good before i got my head, 3" downpipe and 3" exhaust. my AFR was 11.9 before installing header, dp and exhaust...once i installed it my AFR dropped to 10.5 and my trim went to 25%...which caused my mpg to drop alot...was using up ALOT of gas cuz the tune was out of wack. Fixed the tune and everything is good again. Like i said it depends what mods u have already and what size pipes u r installing. But even if u run ottp's stage 1...and have your injectors and pulley. Its better to get re-tuned AFTER the header, dp and exhaust just to fix any little issues...sometimes u wont notice it but the trimming will be off.. u want the trim to be as close to 0% as possible...in other words the car wants to stay around 14.7AFR...it adds or takes away fuel to stay around that number....if u dont tune your trim % will increase and your mpg will go down. Mine went from 5% to 25% after i installed my header,dp and exhaust then after the tune we got it to 0.8R%.

so should i get it tuned for it and then install i really dont want to pay to have it tuned twice when it will put a header and downpipe on after
wait if i ship my pcm first it wont be plug and play? thats wat the web site says if they ship first then i will need the case relearn right?
also is tc disabled make my car lanch faster

im not sure on how ottp does it with sending the pcm for tuning....i just got a local tuner to do my car. But if u pm josh or anyone else from ottp they can answer your question. What size downpipe are u getting? 2.5? if its a 2.5 then the tune wont get too messed up...trimming might be abit off but not much. By "tc" im assuming u mean traction control? u were saying u want a smaller pulley so that leads me to suggest u have a ss/sc.....the ss/sc dpmt have traction control like the ss/tc do. For better launches just get the boost reduced to whatever u want, its something u have to play around with to find out what u want. if u r just going to go with Ottp stag1, header, downpipe u will make a decent amount of horsepower but not enough to really reduce boost alot in 1st gear. As where im making 300+whp...with my boost in first gear reduced to 75% i can still spin my tires if i dont learn how to launch right.

O shoot also got a question about ac is your guys fans really weak. mine on 4 is prolly like everyones 1-2 maybe its really weak super cold just really weak wondering how to fix? maybe the belt is loose? what else could this be anyones help would be cool i live in az and this problem has made me really hate the damn car

Also yes, if you ship your PCM first it will be plug and play when you get it back.

Our car's AC are weak in general so I'm not sure if yours is even weaker or just like everyone elses.
There is a how-to section which contains a few about installing a new h/e. I'd look for you but I'm about to get to bed.
