Default Squires Twins: Anyone have problems with the computer load.

I have a stock, LS1, C5. I bought the Squires twin turbo "kit". I am using the Predator and Squires code that came with. (Nothing but problems.) Anyone have any suggestions short of sending the "kit" back to Utah, which I am about 2 days short of doing?

You can send your PCM(computer) to a tuner that installs the STS TT with a list of all of your mods and they can give you a decent "tune" untill you get your car to a qualified tuner for a dyno/street tune. OR you can just bring your car to a highly qualified tuner that knows the kit and just get the tune optimized from the start. I think this is a necessary step especially if the generic predator tune is obviously incorrect. Be careful.

Have a custom tune done locally or send your PCM to ECS for a mail order tune..

Default Thanks I needed that...

Thanks guys for the optimistic support. I think I knew what you are telling me but had a bad day visiting my Vette at the shop...:-}

I have put in the hands of a qualified tuner and expect results in a couple of days.....

Thanks again, I am never disappointed when using this forum.

See you at the track, CAPPO
