I'm gon be need'n me a tuner here right quick
So I *think* one or more of my injectors let loose. So I sent them to Injectors Plus to be rebuilt and figr'd while they were there to upsize them a lil: from 26 - 32. Ok that's not a little. The 26ers were always on kind of a high duty cycle on my H&C setup, so that's why I did it. Anyhow, I don't need a full tune right now, but I might (if I can't hook up with an old friend who seems to have vanished) need someone who can just update the parameters for the larger injectors. I'm NOT going to spend $500 on a mostly unnecessarry full tune.

Steve at Powertrain Dynamics is great. He's $120 an hour but he hasn't ever taken longer than an hour with the Cobra. Oh, and you should fix your exhaust before you go get the tune.

Can't you guys just buy some cable to hook up the car to your laptop where the code reader plugs in? And software to do it yourself?

For the amount of money you guys spend on 'tunes' I find it hard to believe it wouldn't be almost cost effective to buy your own software. Think about how many people you could charge $100 here or $50 there to recoup your expense.

I guess I really just have a problem paying other people to do things for me. ...I even cut my own hair. I wonder what that says about my personality. I really think it goes beyond just being cheap.
Anyways, back to your motor. I really think you should throw on some thicker HGs, bigger rockers, and do whatever you need to do to your exhaust before you get it tuned again. Might aswell get it all done at once. I can help you if you want to pull the heads this winter. I'm off from school mid Dec to mid Jan. And I don't think I'll be going back to work till next semester. I'm planning to pull the heads off the Vette this winter, just to make sure everything is copacetic. We can do it together and hold hands. |
I have been looking into EFI Live for use on tuning my STS-V. The scan tool is $400 just to monitor and clear codes. If I want to be able to flash the PCM then the cost $800 with two licenses (tune two VIN numbers). If you want to flash more than 2 cars you will need to buy more licenses. HP tuners is a little cheaper, but it does not have the cam timing parameters for the STS-V and EFI has better support (according to people I have talked to that use both), but will work well with LSX engines.
