Change your meth mixture and up the timing a lil down low to give you some tq that your missing.

 

I've heard some terrible things about TTP's tunes. I would advise to get a new tune and You'll probably pick up some hp.

 

I already got rid of the 2 most restrictive parts of my exhaust system. To get a after market exhaust isn't reli worth it. If I was gonna go tvs or turbo I would get a 3in but being that I'm not I don't see a real point on spending $600+ on a cat back to gain 2hp and be able to run more hp when I'm pretty much at peak

 

So...you're basically asking for advice and getting upset when people tell you whats wrong?

 

You can get really good gas mileage and still make a lot of power. Get a new tune.

 

No, you have not.

The stock downpipe itself is still a restriction.

And getting rid of the stock exhaust system is going to do more than you think.

Im still amazed that your asking me what other simple bolt ons can you do to the car and are refusing to put on a cat back.

 

No not at all dude sry if you took that the wrong way I was jus explaining my reasoning for doing eerything the way I did it. Everyone is free to say what they want to me I don't get upset or take offense lol

 

1. pacesetter headers are not long tubes.
2. stock dp is very restrictive, even without a cat.
3. stock catback is ok, but you can still get a little more power if you go with a slightly larger pipe, you don't have to get a 3" to make power.
4. 19.6psi? on a 2.79" pulley? that tells me something is very restrictive. You can make a lot more power with less boost on that same pulley.
5. You can't ask for advice on what to get, say you don't want to build the motor or do aftermarket power adders, and then complain when someone gives you good advice, especially when we are trying to tell you your exhaust setup is not very good.

 

have fun blowing up on tune time ftl tune. bad gas millage? let me guess you have the same tune dan and everyone else gets. your maf isn't tuned properly b/c he doesn't tune cobalts anymore he just fiddles with the PE. cot prob isn't disable along with many other things in hp tuners that should be disable. i am sure your running supper rich during wot pulls. your car is running fcked up and you can get 30+ mpg with ease off a all out tune if you know how to tune a car.

1. fix your exhaust and go buy a header/3" dp catless / stock exhaust + a different muffler or something custom
2. once your finished with that if you don't already have a wideband go get one and instal it
3. go find someone to street tune you. if you want i can help you along with many others if you feel like trying to get hp tuners and tuning yourself.

*note to self (for you). do not go back to tune time performance and waste your time. ( i put down a tad bit more power than you did on the same tune you have prob by tune time performance with less mod's and 2.8 pulley. stock exhaust.

60's, 2.8, cx h/e, header/dp w/cat, stock exhaust, 1step colder plugs, $19 dollar old dirty filter. i made more power than you and my car was running on the shittest tune and prob made more power on gm stg2. i got hp tuners and got help from a lot others and let me tell you my car on 12degree's of timing compared to 19degree's on ttp tune pulled harder.

 

^truth, ttp for the loss. And I can't believe you are going to live with terrible gas mileage, it's so easy to get GREAT gas mileage in these cars, and still make alot of power at the same time.

 

Im still rockin 30 plus on highway on my turbo setup...

 

i don't want to make claims on numbers of how much i would make on a mustang or dynojet but i can tell you that getting good gas millage can be done while still having the full power of the car when you jump on it.

i am still shocked my piece of **** hasn't blown up. i really gotta get the new dp so it's not leaking the flange then go to the track and run a 12 finally. once i do that i achieved my goals and i'll just put the car back to stock and sell it. lol

with the help of ralliartist i had 43mpg.

however on my current tune which is all props to 04redline i get 33mpg in town w/o fiddling with anything trying to get better gas millage.

 

Guys no one is gettin upset. Y does eeryone keep tellin me I'm gettin upset. Lol this is funny I'm eating chinese food how could I be upset. And jus 4 ur info the pacesetter I have is a long tube and by long tube I mean I had to cut my dp in half to get them on lol. If anyone knows a downpipe that will bolt up to a pacesetter header and a stock cat back then by all means post a link n ill order one since its so restrictive. And I use a lot of gas cuz everywhere I go I'm redlinein and boostin like crazy lol

 

*I use a lot of gas cuz everywhere I go I'm redlinein and boostin like crazy

{PRICELESS}

 

So you kept the ball and socket portion on then?

The pacesetter header is a midlength header. 1 3/4 prim 3" collector with a 2.0" exit on the socket portion.

My advice hack the end of and weld on a flange and make your own custom downpipe.

Exhuast depot made one for the pacestter for a while.

 

I got a pacesetter too, trust me, it's not long tube. It's a mid-length.

regardless, we've given you tips on what to do. I don't think anyone cares what you do with the new found knowledge that you were given. It's up to you man.

 

Get a DP and exhaust, drop the pully a bit

and get a good tune, your numbers are low for what you have. Get re-tuned, change your meth mixture and more timing.

 

So ur sayin cut off the end of the header, fab my own dp and get a new tune! That's pretty much what I gathered from these 3 pages.

Now my queston is how big shud I make this custom dp?

 

how much timing are you running?

 

I wish I could tell you but I honestly don't know

 

so call up matt at ttp and ask him.

 

he is probably running stg2 timing so figure 19degree's. i am sure he is at 19 and if he isn't then it's probably 16.

you should really just worry about fixing the exhaust and also getting a new tune not from tune time performance.

a tune can make or break a car and with that tune you have on now it's breaking you because gm stg2 cars with a 2.80 would probably pull on you. just what i think from my own experiences with tune time.

 

You are not trapping that high. And if you're tuned so great how come I made more power with less mods on the same dyno, tuned by the same guy?

 

I dunno maybe your better looking? I'm going to call matt and ask him my timming, if he scaled my injectors, if he tuned my maf, if he disabled my cot. Ill let you kno what he says when I ask him.

Realy !

Realy it sucks .

Probably from above poster .

Thats funny PE is set then Maf dialed in to achieve PE . Your tune pulled harder On a dyno or on the street ? [ You felt it ]

20-22 degrees

Yes they would . Lean as hell

You my friend have an issue ...

1st you come to our dyno day and you have stage 2 with 2.8 I tell you your lean and it's dangerous 12.4-12.8 a/f
2nd you blow up on spray
3rd you go though 2 motor's
Then you come to me and ask me for a deal on a tune [ I hook you up ] Then we discuss that you have stock timing then you where to come back to spray it on the dyno and dial the car in ...
You never return ... Now talk **** about me and how I can't tune ... I have been nothin but nice to you and tried to help you and this is how you repay me ... Thanks for all of the **** talking and I'm sure you need a set of pistons soon ..
