Well, its been a long time coming, but I finally got tuned with HP Tuners. Big thanks goes out to Joe (BennyHHR) for taking the time to datalog and tune it for me. He said he was "happier than a pig in ****" at the way it turned out.

Car runs much stronger now, and my redline is now at 7,100, so once I trade my stock 17"s for some 16"s and get some dr's, its time to hit the track.

 

What mods did you get tuned for?

 

nice bro

 

i believe he fully bolted on

 

Tune really wakes the LE5 up.

Shift at 7k though....with a 7100 redline, momentum can carry the engine past 7100 by a smidgen...and it will cause float.

 

Yep. AEM CAI, CA v1 header, XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe and ARK N2 cat-back.

Also, Steddy, I never bring it to the redline. My highest shift according the the datalog was 7,076, but I usually shift right around 7k now.

 

good stuff, hptuners should be here in two weeks once my buddy is ready to order it with me, so over winter i will read up on it...

if you talk to benny reguliar would you mind asking him if he could assist me in my tune aswell?


glad to hear yours went well...cant wait to see your car hit the track

 

Not much to read up on.

You gotta mess with it to learn it.

 

Yeah I'm sure Joe will help ya out. He's a stand up guy.....he even gave me a folder with paperwork on what was changed on my car w/ descriptions, a business card, a cd w/ my stock tune on it, etc etc. I'm sure if you gave him a call when you do it he could walk you through it.

But yeah, the car feels great. Much smoother and stronger feeling. Can't wait to get a proper drag wheel/tire setup and go hit up the 1/4 mile

 

I will still suck that **** up.

 

josh your car is prolly faster than mine.

 

yo josh u have ur tune file....i wanna compare it to mine..bennyhhr and i talked a while back about tuning these cars.

 

you should have seen the look on his face after the guy was done.

 

Hahahaha ****** Justin got you sayin that shitl now

And yes, I would fully expect you to suck my **** upppp.

 

Yeah, it's something people would never expect you to say. So I'll borrow it for a little while.

 

You'd have to ask Joe about that. I'm in agreement with him to not share information on my tune, as he takes pride in his work and dosent want it spread around for free, which is understandable.

Just ask him and see if he'll share information on it with you.

 

yeah him and i talked awhile back when me and redforz were the only 2 tuners getting into tuning these cars..wanted to know if he learned a lil more info..thhanks..ill pm him..hows the car running now..must b nice especially wit ur mods

 

he could get a lot more in depth if josh had a wideband available. That should be his next mod.

 

True, but the tune feels great as it is. Im gonna leave good enough alone for now.

 

Glad to hear that Joe was able to get you set up. I think that you have one of the best LE5 tuners in your area. I still get in contact with Joe every once in a while to shot the **** and compare idea. Everytime I get on the phone with him I swaer I learn something new, not tuning related all the time. But Joe is full of knowledge of all things.

 

u gonna get some dyno numbers on it?

 

Eventually when I gather up some more money and pay off a few overdue doctors bills.

 

dynos are expensive in ur area i presume?


around here they're like $40

 

HPT needs to come through for the 08' LE5 .. but awesome man, Would like to see some numbers if you ever get dyno'd!

 

it will eventually^^^
