At about the same time I was buying my current GT500, the new owner of my old DIB GT500 told me he was thinking of selling my old car. I was ready to buy it back but I decided on the red one because they were both being sold at the same price and the red one had 2000 miles versus the 9000 miles...
I'm going through my tune and I noticed that my tuner changed this and raised the values:
Spark for Decel
Tuned
RPM/TEMP 600 900 1400 1900 2400 2900 3400
160 36.000 36.000...
I sold my GT500 and Terminator a year ago but I couldn't stay away. I ended up back in the cars again. This time both cars have lower miles and the Terminator has all the mods I've always wanted.
I just picked up this 2100 mile, fully optioned glass roofed coupe and I'm back:
Stock...
I noticed that the inlet of the Eaton on my car has a different texture than the rest of the blower
I know it’s not stock because I went through my bag of stock parts and found the stock one
I tried to see if it’s a Dragon but the Dragon has its name on it so it’s not a Dragon. The only...
I was going through my tune and noticed that the tuner upped the engine coolant temp to switch to the base fuel table by 30 degrees. He also changed the return to cold fuel table by 30 degrees too.
Modded table
Stock table
I’ve always read that you should leave the return to cold table...
I'm going from the Stieg ported eaton at 12.8lbs of boost to a 2.3 Whipple with the stock pulley (3.5, I think). I'm not sure of the boost level it'll be at but I'm wondering what is everyone running for spark? Are you running more or less than the Eatons? I was thinking of starting at 16...
I'm contemplating getting a Whipple during the 15% off sale and I was set on a 2.3 since I don't plan on going past 580-600 at the wheels (I don't want to go return style) but I read that the 2.9 is a better design.....then I read that the 2.9 is lazier down low if you pulley it for 13-15 lbs...
What do you guys do for winter storage in your unheated and uninsulated garage? For the summer, I run a dehumidifier and that helps out a lot but it won't work in the winter since the coils will freeze.
I was also told to put some outdoor carpet under the car to keep moisture from seeping...
So, my car’s got the ported blower, 2.8 pulley and I’ve datalogged 12.8lbs of boost at the highest but it’s usually around 12.2 to 12.5lbs, JLT intake, BA 2600 MAF, 60lbs injectors, BAP, head cooling mod, 170 degree t-stat, Billetflow throttle body, TR6IX plugs, long tubes, no cats, no EGR...
Hi,
I'm working on this tune and I have a question about Fuel Open Loop Throttle Position. I read Fuel Open Loop TP is the throttle position that the car will go into open loop. I also read that on some vehicles, you may want to open WOT at a lower pedal position, 500 for a lower boost vehicle...
What does this do for our cars? Common practice for blown cars is to put both at 27 to shut it off but I've seen some tunes where they modify it from 21 Min and 30.5 Max to 27 Min and leave the Max at 30 or they just leave it stock.
Does anyone know why the different settings? What happens if...
Are they turnkey? Are they the same as OEM as far as reliability, etc.? What about ease of use (i.e., no hard starting or cranking issues, fuel sensors readings, etc.)? I've been reading and I see a lot of complaints about them ranging from fuels smells, leaks, hard starting etc.
Anybody...
This connector is one of the three in front of the PCM in the passenger’s side kick panel.
This is from the dealership and they said it’s discontinued. I bent a tab unhooking the one I have now and would like to just replace it.

So I’m getting Grundy agree value insurance and I’m trying to total up the value of the mods and the cost to install them so I could get a good estimate. I made a list of the mods to give them and I’m Google’ing the prices but I can’t figure out labor since the prior owner did his own work.
Any...
I've seen tunes set up two different ways:
1. Timing at 22-23 and A/F ratio at 11.2-11.4, so more timing on a richer mixture
2. Timing at 18-20 and A/F ratio at 11.8, so less timing on a leaner mixture
Why does one choose one way or the other? Does one give more power, is safer....etc.
Is...
I'm doing some datalogging on my car and I'm reading my A/F ratio in Lambda. I want to convert it but I'm wondering which value to use.
I see .756 in Lambda on my wideband. If I use gas stoich (14.64), I get 11.06. If I use E10's ratio (14.079), I get 10.64.
I'm just trying to figure out if...
When the prior owner sold me this car, he threw in some extra Mystichrome leather he had:
This isn't the smooth type of Mystichrome leather I'm used to seeing. Has anyone ever seen this or know what it is?
Thanks
I’m trying to fix my non-working cigarette lighter and I noticed this:
Does anyone know what it was connected to? I tried looking for another disconnected connector but couldn’t find anything.

When the prior owner had the valve covers painted, the signature plate was removed. I have it but I’m wondering how to stick it on.
As you can see in the pictures, the covers are glossy now so that might pose a problem trying to get it to stick now. Also, there is residue on the back of the...
I was chasing the connections for my wideband and I lost one of the two screws that hood the bezel in. This is one of the two screws across the top of the bezel and also one of the four screws that hold in the instrument panel. It’s a T-15 screw.
I went to the dealer and they gave me the...
I'm trying to tune and read that I need to wire up the BAP, pre-FPDM, not post FPDM. I spoke to the prior owner and he said that he wired it up post FPDM, as shown in the instructions from Kenne Bell.
I have the instructions but the instructions show a knob and a boost activated switch and my...
Hi,
I'm a longtime SCT PRP user (about 18 years) and was using it with the SNEEC and chip burner back around 03-04. Before that, I was using the TwEECer so, SCT is pretty much all I know.
This new car is SCT tuned and I want to use the current tune as a base but the MTF file isn't available to...
The car I just got has the X3. I want to get the X4 for the display but I can't get the tune off of the X3. I tried calling RET (who originally tuned the car) but Greg's computer crashed in 2014 and he lost all his files.
I tried calling SCT and they said they can't do it because the tunes...
