What's the best programmer or mod? Posted By: LS101 On: 01-01-2008 @ 19:10:02 Reply | Edit I was wondering what type of programmer everyone seems to like i just recently bought a 2001 ws6 with a cam, exhaust and intake. I have very little money left and thought this would be the best bang for my buck at this point. If any one has any other ideas please let me know or just let me knwo what kind of programmer would be best. Posted By: 2fast On: 06-14-2006 @ 20:03:15 Reply | Top | Edit Don't buy one. It's a waste of money. You already have a cam exhaust and intake. It's time for a real dyno tune. That is what you need. And for anyone considering one, it's a waste of money because you can get a real dyno tune for not much more money and a tune is what you'll end up needing after mods. With your mods, if you havent been tuned, you will unlock the cars potential by getting the ignition and fuel mixture honed in. -- 2002 Trans Am WS6 M6 Beautiful Pearl White. 4k miles!

Posted By: sabbott13 On: 07-08-2006 @ 23:07:29 Reply | Top | Edit I wish I knew mpre about this myself. I bought a Diablo Sport programmer and will soon have time to put it to use. I have read a few things recently that a few shops can upload tunes into the programmer based on current mods. Does anyone know more about this? In addition, what does the original Diablo sport tune entail? Obviously, I should have researched this a little better before making the purchase... -- 2001 Black Trans Am WS6 Ram Air Package, Hurst Short Throw Shifter, Corsa RSC Catback, K&N Air Filter Whisper Lid, Dynatech Headers/Cats/Y-pipe, NGK iridium plugs, Taylor wires Posted By: ssmaro32 On: 07-12-2006 @ 14:02:37 Reply | Top | Edit my car got tuned with the hp tuner, its also great for checking the bad sides to your ls1 Posted By: jrc316 On: 07-20-2006 @ 12:03:21 Reply | Top | Edit My question would be if you were to buy a PCM.. Does the program inside automatically unlimit the top end speed, and lower the fan settings or would you have to ALSO buy a programmer to do this.. On another note what does everyone put in the Stage 1 or the Stage 2 and is it OK to lower the thermastats when you install the off road chip.. Russ Posted By: tooslowcamaro On: 07-24-2006 @ 22:45:37 Reply | Top | Edit A shop that dyno tunes will usually include the speedo correction, fan operation, speed limiter, delete downstream o2's, delete egr, and a bunch of other stuff.

Posted By: LightningquickLS1 On: 08-04-2006 @ 13:42:20 Reply | Top | Edit If you live in NY, the ONLY place you should get your car tuned is The Vette Doctors, Amityville, NY!  Those guys kick asss, and they know thier shiit! (they tuned my car, I drove 2 1/2 hours from jersey to see them!)
They are also UNBELIEVABLY cheap, with a FULL dyno-tune being like $300 bucks. You cant beat that anywhere, most places are $400-$500 bucks. --

Posted By: sabbott13 On: 08-07-2006 @ 21:20:38 Reply | Top | Edit Really? $400 to $500? That seems expensive. I've called a few places here around San Jose, CA, which isn't a particularly cheap place to stay. Most dyno time runs $125 to $130/hr. With my tune taking 1.5 hrs, it was much less than $400. Is there something additional in the FULL dyno-tune you mentioned that I may not have gotten, or do they just overcharge at the Vette Doctors? -- 2001 Black Trans Am WS6 Ram Air Package, Hurst Short Throw Shifter, K&N Air Filter, Corsa Power Pulse RSC Catback w/ Premium 3.5 Tips, Dynatech SuperMAXX Header System, Whisper LS1 Air Induction Lid, NGK TR-55 Iridium Spark Plugs, Taylor Thundervolt Wires Speed Freaks dynotuned at 355hp on 91 octane. Posted By: 1998A4LS1 On: 08-08-2006 @ 10:49:59 Reply | Top | Edit And then what? Make a change to your car and you have to pay someone the ridiculously high prices they charge again, that's insane. Invest in tuning software if you plan to keep the car and continue to modify it. Pays off in the long run. -- 1998 Red/Grey Z28, Auto, 3.23, 3400 2.1 TC, B&M Trans Cooler, P&P TB, TB Bypass, !EGR, FRA Mod, SLP Lid Pacesetter, Hooker ORYP, Aerochamber, TSP Cam, PRC Dual valve springs, LS6 oil pump, LS2 timing chain, HPTuners 2.0 Posted By: kingandrew On: 08-08-2006 @ 16:50:07 Reply | Top | Edit Some places charge a lot at first and the every tune after that is $50 bucks or something. Some are free after the first time. Keep looking into it until you find the best deal. --
