What about the fastest bolt on GS on this site that used our canned tune to run 11's at over 122 MPH, surely the tune was working well and making power, or everyone would be running those times

Reducing TM which causes the PCM to close the throttle and/or pull timing during shifts will always make a car faster, cant think of a case where it wouldn't, yet that will never show on a dyno, and there are all of ZERO track results being shared, which is all that should matter in this conversation

You are more than entitled to your thoughts on the subject, but I feel you are over simplifying it.

Thanks
I would MUCH rather see track times than Dyno numbers

But if you can tell the car is more responsive and puts a smile on your face bigger than it did previously, then the tune has done exactly what it was supposed to do!!

Its about SOOOO much more than meaningless dyno numbers, dynos dont measure TM, dont measure shift feel, dont measure throttle response or traction, they tell you such a minimal part of the whole story. Have I mentioned I hate dynos?

Thanks
Why can't you accomplish both? Removing TM and improving throttle response should not require reducing peak power output.

If you think this is an assassination on Lew’s reputation you need to pull your head out of your ***. Yeah, I’m going to take the time to doctor up a document just so I can dump on a guy who I like and respect. Maybe in time (I’m sure) he would have fixed it, but I wanted E85 and Lew didn’t want to do it so I had to go another way.

When Lew was lying in a bed in the hospital very ill I made a donation to him to help with his huge bill. Ask him, he’ll tell you. Now, what sinister thing can you make out of that?

Enough is enough??????? He asked a question and you're throwing a hissy fit???? You said lew's tune was first pull, so maybe the stock tune was the 411 hp numbers and lew's is the 417??? But that can't be true, cause then everything you said would be false...


You sound like hillary: "what difference does it make", and "what do you mean wipe clean, like with a rag?"

Thats exactly the goal, I'm just pointing out that the gains are tough to feel, there or not, but the other improvements are what make the car more enjoyable to drive.

Thanks

Well just as an update for everyone, my car runs good with the CAI and headers but I did get the P0420/0430 codes because I am catless so I will be able to report back my opinions and hopefully track times of the 3 tunes (stock, canned, Lew).

Like i have been saying. There is lack of real data about the tunes. Are we on the C6 section or c7 ? i really dont care what some car did at some point in time. I understand your tunes have to do something, other wise you wouldn't be in business.

What i want is before and after dyno numbers with a 91/93 oct tune on stock c7 from people and or shops. the only dyno that is making the gains your company says it makes is the one you posted.

Even the rare diablo tuned C7 dynos that are posted. they have a some sort of mod on them. So we dont even know what is making the power or not.

Its just crazy to me how we lack data on these tunes. The only info we get is people "saying" that their cars FEELS better. "engine comes alive" **** does that even mean ?

so what exactly is different between the canned Diablo 93 tune and the Diablo Afe 93 tune? from what I gathered on the diablo site the diablo 93 tune was hotter than the afe 93 tune.

The MAF tables are likely different in the afe tune, I doubt one is necessarily hotter than the other they're just different for each intake.
