Which tuner would you go with on a manual Paxton car and why?

^ This. Just be sure you get the "taurine tune" or the "get the bitches tune". Makes tons of power.


Bro.

He does really well with lawnmowers and LS motors too:

Why all the sarcasm? I have a paxton sitting in my living room that I'm installing Wednesday and I'm just looking for some legitimate feedback from paxton/vortech owners. I'll be running the 3.6 pulley (came with the kit) instead of the 3.8, so the safer tune will probably be my choice since I don't have a waste gate setup.

I had decided on Lund, but after a lot of googling AED seems like a great choice too. Guess they are probably both pretty close.

Did you try to search? You know there is a thread dedicated to the Paxton setup that has a lot of useful information.

Actually... I forgot that Shaun did the call to that guys work and tried to get him fired lol... Lund it is.

And 07TGGT I tried to search, didn't find a thread like that though. I'll keep looking, always looking for info etc.

I don't even know what kind of power a non-gated 3.6 pulley puts down. Beefcake said it's fine for stock block, but that I should delete the cats to lower boost for sure. Still need to get a mid pipe I guess but I'll do that soon.

 

[07TGGT]

You'll lower boost a little by going catless but you're going to pick up some power as well. If you're worried about damaging the engine, leave the cats in.

No sense putting your job in jeopardy. Good choice

Interesting to say the least

One will blow your #8 and blame it on you with douchebaggery customer service and one will get you fired. You pick.

I'm self-employed, so I had Shaun at AED tune my Paxton car. It runs fine.

In all seriousness, AED was the closest, geographically, and I wanted the car tuned in-person. I guess I'm just getting old but this e-mail tune stuff leaves me a little uneasy. I'm sure Lund or any one of a few others are more than capable as well.

The scary part is you're correct on both accounts.

I have had zero complaints with Lund's support. All the questions I've asked have been answered within an hour. On the other hand, a friend of mine has a brembo '13 GT with 3.73 just like mine. He has an AED tune.....that car is WAY slower than mine....by like 5 mph and a second in the quarter. Some of it is driver....but the trap speed isn't even there.
