Why are you always yelling? lol

Sent from your moms room...

It's like being a teacher at the front of the class, some will listen and some will just talk and ignore, so in some cases if you talk over or just loud enough some may hear or retain what your saying or helping them retain some knowledge..
Just trying to help in anyway I can.

sucks man...well subd for whatever is to come next. And btw I have been at 635 hp at the tire for almost three years now without issue(Knock Knock) for anyone who is scared about boostin it.

If I wouls stayed in that range I think would been great. But after a month I pushed it over 650. Then last 7 months at over 700whp.

its like that sprint commercial more we want more,more, more

That's good info to have in the warranty tune! I had never heard of such a thing. That eases my mind a little. I really want 600 out of my car with the Paxton and be safe... So is that doable?

While I'm not on a Paxton (V3 Vortech) I am using a good safe tune from Lund I daily drive it ... I do get spirited but not on the edge by any means and am at 600 and have been for a year now ... If your wanting 600 safe make sure you discuss your goals with your tuner and I'm pretty sure you end up just fine. Like Gizmo said the cars popping motors are pullied down on the edge type tunes

Exactly. Guys, buy a Paxton, run the Paxton tune. Have tons of street power and love life. But don't use guys with small pulleys, aggressive tunes, and beat the shit out of their cars as examples.

Guys who want more power understand it ain't cheap. We all pay to play, and then it all breaks, and then we don't learn our lessons, build bigger and punch harder, and again it breaks, and again we don't learn our lessons, and so on. It's a viscous cycle of awesomeness. It's our drug.

The trick is to one day be content. One day... lol

Not trying to start anything by any means, but I hope u make sure ur tune from Lund was safe because I was under the impression mine was and it wasn't, and I couldn't believe it.

I've been hearing more and more of this lately, and I have to agree. I can't help but wonder why everyone on here pussyfoots around about Lund racing though. If it was any other tuner they would have been burned alive on the cross by now. It seems like everyone is afraid to call it what it is, Lund is becoming hit and miss, and it depends on how deep your pockets are and the type of build you're doing as to whether or not your motor stands a chance of surviving.

Are they bad tuners? No, but they most certainly are careless.

I once saw someone banned from this site for bashing Lund racing, so I say this knowing full well how people feel about them on here. Flame away, but we all hear at least once a month about another Lund tuned motor blowing up.

I remember when we heard about a year ago about Lund expanding and everyone on here thought it was great, and most people expressed the same sentiment, "just make sure you don't lower your standards when you expand like many companies tend to do when they grow."

Looks like they have gone against these sentiments and lowered their standard

We couldn't be in more agreement. I know first hand for the Lund racing quality degrading. I know full well one has to pay to play, but when you make them aware there could be something wrong with their tune or tuning when your 5000 mile GT500 motor shits the bed under the HP safety figure, well then there is an issue, when all they can say is "that sucks, we have hundreds of cars running the same..." blah blah blah. So in my mind, brace yourselves for an incoming epidemic.

Jon means well most of the time from what I've seen, Ken is a hot head who can't be reasoned with.

I don't know about you guys, but Lund made it VERY clear to me that I'm in the danger zone. The tune itself is tame, but the engine is not compatible with the 700+ RWHP I'm pushing through it.

I can't speak to Seer's situation, but in my experience (and 5 of my close friend's), Lund Racing has been nothing but transparent and reasonable.

 

[stang8psi]

What's funny is my car which is not a dd and maybe see's 1000 miles a year for the past 2 years and it lasted a few weeks. Never driven hard and I instantly complained of issues after my dyno session with Jon . Car smoked within a week after tune, and started the stalling an hour after the session.. and under a pull to get logs is when the motor let go. I had maybe two tanks of gas through it . But possibly a bad ring in A perfectly good running car before the blower went on is what I chalked it up to.

wasn't your car tuned by BBR first though?

you sent me a pm stating that it ran horrible on the BBR tune, and ended up having lund tune it after that.

Theres a few other owners locally to me, I won't name them, they can identify themselves if they wish. One is a SC 5.0 that stalls when you put it in reverse or coming to a stop.

Another one was a NA 5.0 that made less HP than stock and surged pretty badly, with nothing more than basic bolt ons.

I'm not bashing Lund because let's be honest, shit happens, but it seems like its happening a lot more than usual.

 

[konablue11gt]

I can't speak for anyone else but my experience .... I monitor my afr it is spot on when I punch it all the way to 7200 ... I have had this tune in my car since last June and have driven long trips .... Ran hard on wot runs to 140+ ( in Mexico) drive in stop and go no issues period like I said I'm not on the edge or anything not big boost .... I am pleased with my ride and tune experience .... I know some of the guys downing the tunes from Lund have extenuating issues that may or may not have been the fault of the tune ... I'll leave it at that

 

[GrabberBlue5.0]

I don't have a dog in the fight, I do not have a Lund tune, therefore I cannot personally say anything good or bad about them, but like I said it just seems to be prevalent that cars running Lund tunes are blowing

I live in Arizona, and to my knowledge, there are no competent local tuners that I'd feel comfortable letting do the work. With a remote Lund tune (for a blower) now becoming less appealing, I'm left with no way to get a tune that I feel comfortable with short of driving to Texas (as I hear they've got some good ones) or flying a tuner here to Phoenix. Neither are practical or cost-effective.

This sucks because I've just about run out of ricer appearance mods to do to my car (GT500 steering wheel is on the way, as are my '13 GT500 brakes) so the next step for me was a Paxton. Perhaps I'll need to just stick to a cold air kit and a canned tune.

Paul.

 

[gizmo5]

I'll say it again, the cars letting go of rings are running smaller pulleys and more aggressive timing. When you push it, things happen. There is a reason why the blower comes with a 3.8 pulley... Once you go switching, its a chance you take.

I had a lund tune. And it honestly sucked. Car made 100whp+ less and had shifting issue after he tuned for the convertor. I was tuned by someone else before the convertor. But thst person was out town. Took carvyo maximum velocity to Trscy for remote tune. After 2 days cslled said car was good. And picked up told me issue with car. Dropping boost at 6600 rpm. It didnt do before took there. Then trans shifted as if convertor was in it but no tuning for it. Car ran mid 11's like that. When took it was running 10.8's. Paid 600.

My original tuner came back in town shortly after. He retuned car. No drop in boost. Trans was way better. Car went 10.5. Hecretuned for free.

After some talking to prople who drove car while lund tune in it. Lund was contacted on my behalf. He said my pcm code was bad. That he would retune after domeone changed code for him. I didnt go thru with it and had to eat the 600 as no refund was offered. And other tuner had no issues with tuning code. While my old tuner spent lot of time on trans since first auto 5.0 he did. It got pretty great.

LOL wut?

I've read that post a couple times, but I'm struggling a bit man. Can you clarify?
