I heard from another tunning company Westers Garage that the dealer will not be able to pick up the tune, something about the Tech2 scanner wont pick it up.. Not to ruin Vector's business or anything but for the auto 2.4 guys westers has a tune for us which i should be getting in a month or two.

OK, so do you offer an ECM with a boost tune now?? If so how much$$, what kind of boost levels, and which MAP PN# do you need.
Thanks

Excellent, can't wait for the tune!! From what I've read on the TrailblazerSS forums, I'm sure you will be quite impressed. When it's done, I'd like to hear your review of it.

Sorry there is 4 pages of this...but what exactly does this reflash consist of? Looks like they change the fuel map and probably advance the timing. Can anyone tell me exactly?

I guess no one knows!

I'll start

1. Raises rev limiter

2. Removes top speed governor

Thats all I will say for fear of misstating something.

Here it is straight from the horses mouth from a solstice forum:

Here are just SOME of the extensive changes we made to the Solstice ECM in the name of power, reliability and drivability:
• Proprietary extensive fuel and spark mapping for high octane fuels. THIS REQUIRES PREMIUM FUEL!
• Removal of the top speed limiter
• Nearly eliminating the drop in power felt when Variable Valve Timing Kicks in (check out any stock solstice dyno sheet for info on this one )
• Elimination of the Power Enrichment delay that causes VERY lean A/F ratios under load.
• Revised "nanny controls" for hellacious burnouts and power shifts. This will be a must for anyone who wants to race their Sol! Not only does the Sol make more power and low end torque but the computer will now actually allow it to hit the ground!
• Increased timing in cruise areas for improved fuel economy: Beta users report an increase in fuel economy, your mileage may vary!
• Raised rev limiter to accommodate the engines new power band.
There are many more small changes but these are some of the highlights, we tune more areas of the ECM than any other tuners or tune programs out there; remember we cant give away ALL of our secrets!

Attached is a dyno sheet to give you an idea of what you can expect from a stock to mildly modified Solstice!


We have three options for those of you who would like to get this phenomenal tune into your Sol as quick as possible.

1. The best way - Ship us your ECM and we'll get it back on it's way to you the same day we recieve it if we recieve it by 2:00PM EST. This is a simple remove and reinstall procedure nothing else needed; just fire it up and go!

2. Core Exchange - We will ship you one of the cores from our inventory with our calibration already programmed including your vehicles VIN for an additional 100% refundable $300 deposit. This will require a three minute security learn done by turning the key on and off and possibly a crankshaft variation learn done by a dealership or someone with a high end CAN scan tool. This is a 5 minute procedure and nearly all dealerships wont even charge you for it or ask questions. This is a necessary evil to keep your engines Misfire detection working properly. If someone tries to sell you a tune that DOESNT need this they turned your misfire detection off

3. We will sell you our tune outright on a new core for an additional $230. This is about $100 or so less than most dealers would charge you for the same part; so it's a pretty good deal.

We will be selling the tunes in a few flavors here is and idea of how they will be broken up:

1. Stock to mildly modded (CAI, Axleback ect)
2. Mildly modded with a long tube header (pending long tube testing/tuning of course this is a future product that should be available by April)
3. Completely custom, we will work with you to get you the perfect tune for your Sol.


So what else do you get for your hard earned money you ask?

Well quite a bit actually We offer a comprehensive free upgrade program that includes any of the above tunes we offer. IE if we make a tune for a specific combo or mod we'll upgrade you to that calibration free of charge. We will also upgrade you for free to any new GM base calibration revisions as well as small upgrades such as tire size, axle ratio, shift points (obviously on the auto) fan turn on ect. Best of all if your ECM is ever replaced for any reason we'll reflash it for free.

This product also falls under out 100% satisfaction guarantee, if you don’t like it for whatever reason we'll refund your money no questions asked.
