Because Race Car!!
I am waiting for a couple tweaks to the tune to stop a CEL for some VCT code I am getting. Seems like the VCT has a sensor for everything it does and sees. The code is P0021 Cam A Over Timing, which I am not sure if it is because the were degreed in at 109* that it is showing over timing.
I dropped the car off to get a plug change and a new tune. They decided to strap the car down and check everything first. Well the figured I didn't need a plug change and the HT0's that were in the car were fine. Which saved me $350 because of the price of the plugs and labor to pull the supercharger off to change them. This was something they didn't have to do because I told them to change them. They figured the tune was off and not bad plugs as I thought. So they are some stand up guys in my book just because of that. They could of easily taken my money and never said anything about not needing the plugs but they took the high road and I am very appreciative of that.
They erased the tunes from the previous tuner and started with there own. The car was locked into Open Loop and added 2 more degrees of timing. So now the computer is commanding 17* of timing instead of 15*.
The car made a solid 600 rwhp and 530 rwtq after a couple pulls.
The car runs smoother and is easier to drive but did take a hit in gas milage. Since the car doesn't look at the o2 sensors anymore and just the Mass Air the gas milage went from 28.4 mpg on the way to Houston to 13.8 mpg on the way back home. I have been driving it around town and it is a steady 13-14 mpg weather it be on the interstate or driving around town. I am not worried about gas mileage so that doesn't bother me.
I changed out the Lightning Mass Air I had to another piece of 4" pipe for the intake and it made another 1 psi. On the last dyno it made 16 psi. and on the one at Fastlane it was making 17 psi. That goes to show how any inlet restriction on a twinscrew car hurts the power.
The car makes 490 rwtq at 2500 rpm and goes over 500 rwtq at 3600 rpm and at 7000 rpm the car is still making over 500 rwtq. It drives like a totally different car now and seems to be alot faster.
Sorry this post is so long but I thought I would get the info out there. I will also be bringing the car back after a couple fuel system upgrades for the race tune which should be on 20 - 24 psi. I love the new street tune so I can only imagine what a good race tune will be like.
