REDFOCZ, I was told by an authorized HP Tuners tuner/shop that they can't log in the '07 LE5 engines to HP Tuners yet. So how is it your tuned with HP Tuners? Or am I being told b/s, lol. Man, i'm tired of the run around I get with this damn car. I've never owned a car where it took THIS LONG to find a reliable tuner for it. All I get is "be patient". And no im not gonna tune it myself as I know nadda about tuning.

The fix........I might just sell the damn car when the '08 Caliber SRT-4s come out. I'm tired of f**ing with this stupid car, lol.

But for now, im gonna go ahead with the 19"s, maybe tint the windows, and keep rolling around with a half-ass-potential 2.4SS littered with CEL's and a hesitating ECU. Oooooh yeaaah.

The version of HP that is out right now was not able to read my car at all I was unable to lisance it version 2.1.18 , so HP sent me the new Beta version to use 2.1.19 and that seems to play nice with the LE5 for 2007.


Second, got the intake on this afternoon and I'll be damn. This thing screams with it.

You should throw on a header/dp/hfc/catback, that screams...

Plus, I don't see why 14's aren't possible, ran a 14.862 at a local dragstip (yes 1/4 mile). I plan on going back soon since the fkn slip flew out the window. Might drop by there tomorrow for a few runs on my way to Florida.

yeah, I was told the '07 was still in beta testing. Pro Motion wants me to come by and hook my car up to the laptop to see if it can even log my car into HP Tuners. I guess i'll do that and go from there. I'm hoping my car will be tuned by......oh.......2012 or so. lol

On the bright side, im ordering my 19"s this Friday and my 18"s are going to my girlfriend for her '05 Tibby.

I was able to scan my car, but was unable to lisance it. Have them Email HPT and ask for the beta 2.1.19 update so you can tune your car. You should be set then

Gas? I use 93 octane per Vector's requirement. It is a 5 speed and I flat foot shift 2nd and 3rd gears. But for the fact that my tires are HORRIBLE launchers I would easily be in the 14s. I think the trap was 97-99mph consistently.

If you know nothing about tuning, why don't you call up Vector send your ECU to them get their tune and enjoy 1.5 second faster quarter mile times and no CELs no hesitattions nothing. I've had this tune for almost 9000 miles and not ONE PROBLEM...NONE!

You were traping 97-99 MPH in a bolt on 2.4? Thats kinda high for such a high for your 1/4 mile time

You might be right...let me check the time slips again. It might be more towards mid 90s let me see....
