tune

[97burnout]

So I am not so sure I got a great deal from pcmforless.com in december. I have tried to go above 120 only once or twice.. to dangerous on most occasions but i still feel a governer kick in. also the guy put regular in my accident and this is the first time since the tune, and car doesn't seem to run any different since got a premium only in my tune as well... I think I got screwed... I never dyno'ed before the tune so there is no way to tell otherwise if I got any gains... suck!

Re: tune

sometimes it is hard to tell a 10hp increase other than dyno or track

Re: tune

Did the car feel any different once u put the new pcm in or did it feel the same?

Re: tune

kinda felt the same but the idle was actually a little smoother. The main reason I did it was a cat delete and to get a little better power. like he said the only thing I coulda done is a dyno and I will never know now cause I don't have the old ecu

Re: tune

is your car stick or auto? if auto im guessing you didnt have them firm up your shifts?

you can't tune the PCM to firm up shifts in a manual car

kinda dum question but...what exactly does it mean when they say firm up the shifts?...like they got three options i think there firmer, firmest shifts, or quick shifts...My guess is the firmer it shifts the higher into the redline rpm band it goes...firmest shift would be around 5800 through all 4 gears?

Re: tune

they can change the auto settings in the computer to add my line pressure and shorten the shift times up and make the shifts firmer and quicker for you
