2 additional questions:

1. Can your tuner do the tune on a Saturday? I've used up all my vacation days for this year.

2. After tuning is complete, can the customer get a soft copy of the file (floppy/CD)? I'd like to have a back up copy in my possession. (I don't know how big these files are.

TIA

Yes on both counts. Call me in the morning and I will set you up on the first open Saturday.

Thanks,

You bet....as soon as we get our dyno up and going I'll put something together.

Hey Shawn,

I recently purchased a Predator. I have a MN6 (2001) with only basic bolt ons (airbox and exhaust). Since I have an MN6, all I really use on the predator is the fuel trim and timing, which is pretty much all there is. I dynoed at 313 RWHP and 325 RWTQ. The benefit to Predator tune over stock for me was 5 hp gain (loss of 5 tq) and my dyno curve straightened out. Like most stocker C5 MN6ers, I had a moderate drop in hp and tq at 4500 rpm. What can you do for me with ls1 edit that predator can't and what are the results, if you know.( based on your experience as a tuner)? There are a ton of potential customers here on Cal if you can deliver increased power. :auto:

Remember, 5 RWHP and 5 RWT can be easily lost due to repeatability issues with any dyno.

Though I can not know for sure until we scan your car and analyze its present state of tune, I can say it is certainly not optimized if you lose torque in the peak range.

Call me and we can setup a tuning session….I am confident that we will get back any lost torque/power.


Thanks!

Shawn

Hi Shawn,

Do you cater to international customers ? Can you do a tune based on my mods then send it to me ? I'm really interested. I know this tune won't be 100% optimized but it will surely be better than my current PCM setting. Anything above 80% effeciency looks fine to me.
