Procharger Stage 2 Install

Called three times this afternoon and left a message, never heard anything back?

We were very busy in the shop today. I try to return calls same day, but sometimes we run over into the next day. I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Busy is a good problem to have. I was hoping I could have snuck in for dyno tuning in the morning for a couple hours and headed back home, since it's a 9 hour round trip, but I figured you didn't have any availability when you didn't call back.

Would love to be seeing torque numbers like your boostworks 15 gt and such a smooth curve on my tune. Are you tuning that car or is Lund tuning it? It sounds great, very strong.

Good and bad.. lol

We're swamped with 2015 stuff, and finishing up production of our 2014/2015 Stingray turbo system. In the middle of that, I have a honeymoon I'm leaving for in a week, and I have a shop move to our new/larger facility coming up in August. So, it's been pretty nutty. ;)

If you don't mind waiting, I can get you up here when I get back around the 14th. I'll probably need a day or two with the car to get it dialed in. We data-log, and go back and forth with Lund. Drive-ability has proven to be the most difficult aspect, and it seems to vary from car to car. The new Tri-Core PCM is a pain. But, we can get it done for you. I'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss.

Thanks!

After all this tuning talk I looked at my final log sent to lund. If I'm reading it correctly it looks like he only tunes it for 16 degrees of timing.

My tune commands 21* at 15psi on e85 for reference.

And it looks like as long as there's not any knock on the sensors the ecm adds up to 5 degrees of timing. There's points in the curve down low that have 19 degrees, and up high even on race gas its between 16-18. I'm sure 2015 is complicated. I've never done one, but it seems like if you want power you have to skip all this remote tuning stuff and just get it done at a dyno.

This is not entirely true. Id say most of the big power cars on this board are remote tuned. Both also ran 9s

Yep beefcakes in the 9s with a Lund Remote tune.

So am I. Not tuned by Lund though.

I'm hearing you, but those are remote tunes by shops who are doing it all with dynos and getting consistent communication with Lund to get their tuning complete, I would imagine. not the, "here's a quick revision of the base tune and I'm happy enough with it" answer before leaving unexpectedly for a week with a customer's car in limbo in the interim. Theoretically. Although, I guess that grievance is for another forum or post, technically lol.

I'm guessing maybe my expectations were higher than they should have been after seeing other identical builds tuned by Lund making 50-70 more hp / torque on youtube. If he can do it, I'd sure love for him to do it. I guess I'm just peeved to have taken 2 weeks off work to get everything installed and tweaked and dialed in, just to be let down and have to do it later and keep putting it on a dyno anyway to see if it's doing what it should.

Thats what concerns me. But I cant get upset about something that hasnt happened yet. Im sure for shop owners its easier to get revisions done and done quickly. The rest of us that just pay $450 are left at the mercy of "when we can".

My car never sees over 16* the weird thing is all these people having to add torco etc. I submitted for a 92 Oct tune and ended up having to use 93 and torco. I wanted to switch to e85 as it is a little easier to find than torco but lund won't tune e85 and a bap

This is again not true in my case. I am dealing with my tuner directly. Tuned on the street and a loaded dyno jet.

Contact Eric Brooks, where it is not the best thing to do, he did tune mine on E85 with ID1000/JMS 22v BAP.

If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying you are working with a local tuner with a dyno. If so, and he gets you the power / tunes you're looking for, I'd say you've won the game and you're leaps ahead of us who are just in the wing waiting for whatever someone will send us whenever they decide to send it. I think a lot is lost in translation with remote tunes, but maybe that's just been my experience with the 2 remote tuners I've used. As of right now, it'll be my last.

If I left my job for a week and didn't tell any of my customers, well... I know what the outcome would be for me lol. I guess it's different when you have a captive prepaid audience.
