We don't offer any in house tuning services, the dyno is strictly for new development/r&d, but I can set you up with a local retailer if you want to grab the tool. I will gladly have you stop by and go through the install with you if you'd like.

Thanks!

Wait....we need to make an AFE tune...are you willing to drop the car off for a couple days for us to strap it down and develop an AFE canned tune for the masses?

Thanks

That would help a great many number of people looking for a quick and relatively inexpensive upgrade solution.

I would caution anybody from thinking that changing your CAI and Headers won't require a change in your tune. I just spent the last week with Vengance getting my CAI and Headers tuned and it was quite a bit different than the stock settings. Between data logging and dyno time it is dialed in but if we would have left it stock it would have been dangerously lean.

Don't do it, get a tune!

Good news, Andy has agree to bring the car by for us to develop a tune for the AFE CAI, which will be available in all inTune's and Trinity's once its done

I added the AFe to replace a tweaked tune with a drop-in air raid filter. Car put down 440 corrected with a 12.5/1 Air-fuel with the tune tweak and a drop-in filter. Car was dynoed in April on a 42 degree night. Fast forward to June where we Installed the AFe. My tuner predicted a lean condition which we got. Tweak the tune and the car lost 10rwhp, now down to 430, corrected, with a 12.5/1. BUT, the run was done on a 72 degree day. Can this happed just due to a much warmer day?

If you do these mods, your powertrain warranty is void.

I watched my tuner work on mine live through HP tuners Friday and we did 6 dyno runs to dial it in. Honestly your tune sounds rich from where they set mine. The DI motors don't like the 12.5 to 1 in WOT.

They found the perfect A/F for my car on the dyno and played with 4 to 5 combinations. You really need a dyno session with a good tuner to get it right. my tune was set at 12.9 to 13.1 to 1.

Very cool, Mike.

It would also be nice if once you get it complete you can tell us roughly how far off the car runs w/o the updated tune. Just for us inquiring minds types that are running the current tune with the intake.

Noticed they are offering a new MAF. for the C7 with and without cold air on the internet . You might want to just buy one of these and try it out. It may be a item that is more accurate then the stock unit.

Any status on the AFE Canned tune? Would love to have this. I have put over 500 miles on my AFE+Ported TB+Diablo tuned Z51 and would like to see what additional performance I could get out of it!
