Another Dodge Dart...

Went downtown to pay for my gym membership and on the way back this black Dodge Dart keeps reving up at me at every stop light we hit. Wasn't gonna race him because these cars are cake to beat but he got a bit annoying ha. At the 3rd light I told him to go for it on green. He gets his Paul Walker face on and his girlfriend gets all sorts of giddy. I let him get the jump and shifted into 2nd around 4k RPM. Him and his girlfriend weren't so giddy when I spun tires past him in 2nd gear. At the top of 2nd I had 2 cars on him.

Not sure of his mods if any.
My car is 09 SS/TC. Superchip Tuner only.

Haha they are becoming the new "Civic" in my town. I would go with HPT but I don't live anywhere close to someone that knows how to tune and I honestly don't have enough time on my hands to learn how. I just wanted something similar to GMS1 and could also turn back to stock for the winter time within 5 minutes. I'm pretty happy with the results Superchips gave me.

Why even waste your gas on a dart??

I would just look over and laugh while driving normal.

This. SC tune = 25 whp over stock. Good HP Tune on 93 is worth more than twice that much over stock. SC tune is stock timing 0.85 PE lambda and 20psi.

I've explained why in a comment above. I've read a lot of pages on the superchip forum and I know HP is ftw but it's not really an option for me.

Money isn't the issue. Nearest tuner being hours away and my work schedule giving me nearly no time makes it not an option for me lol

Remote tuning. You log and load tunes on your time. Best way for most people to get it done.

Yeah I've heard about his tuning. Superchips had what I was looking for. I'm not looking for numbers. No mods will be done to my car anyway. Also I don't let anyone do a thing to my car unless I really know them

But you put a canned tune on it done by who knows who at superchips. Do they know anything about tuning a LNF? If you knew how much smoother you car would start, how much smoother it would drive and how much harder it would pull I think you would change your mind really quickly. I guarantee it.

I haven't noticed the way it runs any different than stock honestly. I'm happy with the results

With my first trifecta tune I didn't notice anything different either, but then u look at the gauges and it's a different story , fuel trims way out, a/f to rich, knock at light throttle, random misfires when idling all the time enough to throw a code once in a while. Try data logging and ull find out just how good ur car is doing. Not to mention guys on here with tunes that sounded good while driving but then a month later, boom, ringlands gone.

I didn't know much about cars when I started with my cobalt. And I still have lots to learn, but one thing I did learn, sounding like it's running good, or even acting like it is running good and actually running good in reality are very different things. I didn't know term2 when I asked him to tune me either. And I don't trust just anyone. But I watched all the posts of guys who were tuned by him over the years, and quite honestly from that I didn't want a hp tune unless it was his. So I pushed it off till I was able to and I was not dissipointed. U don't have to get a crazy tune, the tuners on here will give u what u want and it will be better than a can tune, trust us on that

Yes a SC tune is basically a stock tune with the desired airloads turned up 10% at 100% desired torque (full pedal) and the PE Lambda (A/F at wide open) richened over stock. It is a stock tune otherwise. It still has that crappy cold start like stock and jumpy herky jerky drivability like stock. Stock drivability leaves a lot to be desired especially when the engine is cold.There is stock like drivability and there is better than stock drivability.
