custom tune

[vancouver ssr]

Just had my ECM and TCM programmed by Westers Garage. Just installed it and so far the difference is GREAT!!! Can't wait to get a few miles on, I will keep you posted.

Has anyone been watching the Corvette forums regarding GMs position on custom tunes negating the factory power train warranty? Any comments as I would like to get a tune for my SSR?

It depends on the type of tuner you get. Something like the Diablo will save your factory settings so you can reload it again before taking it into the shop. Leaving them none the wiser

I have an 05 and when I step on it, it's gone. What's the purpose of getting it tuned? Is it better for the engine, the transmission or the gas mileage? I really don't know and would like to. Thanks

When you step on it, it will be gone faster.

I'm getting mine tuned in June and my warranty expires in June. Coincidence? I don't think so
A tune will get you more HP, but also better gas milage, different shift points.... did I say more HP?

PCM for less is very good for custom tunes also. Along with significant power increases when you floor it, they clean up the fuel mapping so at part throttle you can also gain mpg.I have a six speed and I hated the throttle delay, so I had them remove that and the drivability is greatly improved. They eliminated the torque management also and the car responds quicker in any gear. Fan turnon points are also adjusted and again it's a noticable difference. So, there are many things you can alter if you choose. The other things I had adjusted were the speed limiter, the rev limiter, and the speedo recalibrated for my 4.56 gears. Couldn't be happier with the job Brian Herter did.

I just had Joe do the tune on my '05. It included most of the items mentioned below. WHAT A GREAT CHANGE FOR THE GOOD!!!!!!

It was fun before. But like the recent TV ad says 'when you turn on your car does it return the favor'? Yes, in spades.

Hello

Where do you live? I have been helping everyone out here on the Left Coast (Carlsbad, California) with tunes. If you are close you can stop by and if not maybe we will have the opportunity to meet at laughlin or another big event.
