i think i am going to be running a 2.9... 42lbs ...smaller belt ...and step colder plugs, i was going to have my friend tune it with his hptuners... but a little scared... is this stupid?? or is there anyone around the philly region willing to tune it for me?? i dont wanna get it dyno tuned untill i do the 2.8 meth and exhaust mods. which wont be till a little after winter. so if anyone would like to help that would be great. i buy case beer....

and by the way i have been running a 3" pulley on stock tune and inj. from zzp for last 2/3 weeks. been runnning normal... i noticed some power gains. but i baby it.... never go past 5k rpm. maybe once a week. i just wanna get the 2.9 and tune it... kinda scared of blowing my motor and or hurting it. basically just wanted to let know the people who said it would blow right away or **** like that so far its holding up.

 

i wouldnt go past a 2.9 with 42lbs id get 60's

 

the 2.9 with 42's is perfectly safe, infact thats what alot of guys on this site are running myself included, just dont go lower then the 2.9.

 

but would it still be safe to let someone tune it with hp tuners... or would u rec. someone on the forums... like i said in the orginal post i dont wanna dyno tune it yet.

 

if the guy has some knowledge on how to tune then yes. otherwise i'd look for someone with some expierience. these cars are apparently tough to tune. however if u have stg 2 that tune is safe for it. just runs a lil rich. personally im getting mine re-tuned from a member on this forum..

 

hm ok well thanks for the info. yeah my friend has the stage 2 tune.... and with the 2.9 42lbs and that good stuff its pretty much the same as stage 2... so he was going to use his s2 tune. but then i was like no no no... i want it done by someone with the tune of the same set up as mine...hmm anyone good around the philly region?? ill be back on later tonight thanks for the help man

 

I've been running a 2.85" on my 42's for over 8000 miles now! Doin' just fine, my injectors were a little pissed at me when it was like 100* outside but now that it is cooling off and my cooling and exhaust mods are done it'll be just fine! I was at 100% IDC at 6950 at 100* and 98% hummididity on the dyno but not quite static!

But when we tuned the car at like 80* I was at only 90% IDC!

 

yeah well im waiting for a reply back from area 47.... well see...

 

CHeck my sig... he's a buddy of mine, and did my tune. But I am on the edge!

 

what do you mean u are on the edge?? yeah my friend said to contact him and see if he would email me the tune and i can have someone do it thru hptuners.... you think he would help me out... i dont wanna be a pain in the ass to him

 

He's a good guy I am sure he will help you out! I am on the edge of safe. He tunes for power but doesn't sacrifice drivability he puts his name out there and makes sure you can't BLOW it up!

But yeah he has blown me away with what he has done! On our dyno day I started at 223 hp (like I said it was 100* of power robbing heat!), and took it to 241!

So 20hp in 10 minutes!

 

hmmm very nice... so he tunes it hard?? ok i like.. i just hope he gets back to me kinda soon.....
