I have a 2008 SS/TC coupe, with a hahn racecraft cold air intake, the dejon spring upgrade, muffler delete, and a catless ADM downpipe........ I plan on getting Charge piping and a tune.
Advanced Racing Technologies of Sarasota FL is going to dyno tune me for $200 with HPTuners (I know the Guy)
My question is would it be ok to get tuned before my Charge piping, or should i wait and do it after? i understand that you can be tuned as if you have charge piping you just have to be easier with it?

Bump!

anyone!?

Bump!

Bump?

 

wait till after you cannot substitue airflow in a tune, when there is a lack of Airflow through the charge pipes

 

I don't have a SS/TC.........but I used to tune my Turbo'd Grand Prix.................You can tune whenever the heck you want to..............................The problem is if you keep modding after you tune, your tune won't be optimal for your car anymore and you'll have to get it retuned.

I'm planning on adding a header, a downpipe, and maybe changing the cams, (rest of mods in sig) and then tuning my car.

 

someone told me that you can tune for charge piping like tune it as if it was there..........raise the rev limiter to 6800rpms Max power or at 7000rpms, and a fiew other things, i am just excited for the power!

 

bump anyone else?

 

It is possible to tune for a product on the car thats not already there. You just need a tuner who knows the cars very well. I have tuned for cold air intakes and exhausts before they were on the car. It really really helps if they have a wideband though. If you know what the cars going to do before/after the mods you can compensate for it in the tuning.
