Time to Tune

[RadRacer]

OK, next mod for my car's gonna be a pcmforless tune. I noticed they ask if your MAF has been descreened. If I descreen it and tell them, can they tune it to make it not surge like everyone complains it does? It's a 97 Camaro, BTW. Getting a tune for premium fuel, speed limiter removed, tuner's choice rev limiter, 3.73's, 245/55/16 tires, 180 thermostat (is that OK, even though I've got the stock 195? should just turn the fans on earlier, right?), shorty headers, cat-back system, and no cat.

EDIT: Was just reading their FAQ, and they said to get the most HP, to switch to OBD1. How would I do that, and would you guys recommened it?

Re: Time to Tune

don't descreen your car.

the faq must be talking about other vehicles without obdII

they will hook ya up just fine with their tune

Re: Time to Tune

I've got a '96 or '97 car that is OBD2. Which performance tuning package should I buy?
Written by PCMforless.com
If you are looking for the all out most power, the OBD1 conversions will yield 5-7 horsepower more than a programmed OBD2 PCM. The OBD1 also has free diagnostic software available and the updates are free. BUT, some states are now looking into plugging in to your OBD2 car and checking for a properly functioning OBD2 PCM with NO codes. The OBD1 conversion PCM will fail this test. You could swap your original PCM back in to pass the test, but some prefer to just reprogram and OBD2 PCM.

Straight from their FAQ

How would that make a differnce? I thought the Pcm's were more or less the same only different tunning?...maybe im wrong

Re: Time to Tune

cool cool, also just pick up a 180* thermo at the local autozone, they are like 7 bucks and since you are getting it tuned for it anyways it will be good to have

Would't that $7 just be a waste if he's already getting a tune for it to come on earlier?
