No need. I started the car for the first time today and it's there again. I guess when I was at a party yesterday it didn't cool completey so I didn't see a problem.
So it's back to the drawing board for me....

It's like I need a different set if fuel/ spark tables for the colder temps. Can it be added or adjusted by temp??

 

[Herknav]

maybe you aren't holding your mouth right?

 

[lostsoul]

went out for din din and car sat for 2 hours.. came back and the temp was on C.. started it up and no issues.. so it looks like the tune helped 90% of the way.. just need to do some tweeking for when dead cold. talked to the tuner and will send him a datalog.

I smoked a 2007 chevy avao on my way home... woman didnt stand a chance

Bro I hate to say it, I told you putting your car on that dyno was going to put another hex on you.

Glad to see you sent Tony an e-Mail and let him know whats up, I am sure when he gets back he will put your car on AEDs dyno and fix the issue.

haha.. I'm feeling like it.. its always one thing or another. its least I feel there is hope and we are sooooo close. I hope things will he ok and I will try to get the gt500 pump and meet him again at aed when he comes back. Smoking SD and Don at 600hp is good.. but doing it closer to 700 is better!! HAHAHAHA

Congratulations Ted! Long time coming for sure.

Thanks.. it had been wayyyyy too much BS to go through. Its the price to pay for being one of the first and being not so bight. haha

I cant wait to repeat everything when I get another stang.

 

[Impact 5.0]

Better pray for 600+ on crappy Cali gas... 700 would be a good dream.. lol

congrats buddy!

i used to have that same warm up issue for a long time, didnt bother me too much because i just always got used to letting it warm up before i drove it. recently justin (VMP) sent me a newer tune and the warm up issue is 99% gone, he said he had been tunning some high hp cars recently and learned something about the speed density? what ever that is....so you may want to ask that tony guy about that?? my car also runs much better and doesnt seem to smell like gas all the time like it used too!

I sent the datalog to him so when he gets time he can tweek it.. I took it out again tonight with some of the family. Even after sitting for a few hours I got in it when it was almost all the way cold and started her up and it was "almost perfect". Its much more drivable then before and rolling down town lodi tonight with the mondo making so much noise. We had tons of girls whistle at us.

ITs still hard for me to believe all this was a tune issue after all this time. I was so depressed thinking it was something else.

now the real question is......... is 527rwhp enough.........

 

[bscottie]

"enough" is not something that we seem to understand when it comes to horsepower if you can stil afford tires then i say you need more..... Lololol

 

[lostsoul]

yea.. but I dont want my thread to end.. I need to push it more.. haha

Don't forget Ted... it wasn't just a tune issue but that was a big part of it.. .your plugs were in pretty bad shape before we swapped them out and there were a few other issues.

its never enough. we all say it is. then we end up making more.

There is a phrase that goes.... "Too Much is Just Enough"

=== last time I checked many people belong to more then just one car forum, so enough with these games on my thread. I understand both sides so feel free to PM bash each other or IFC it..

=== Mike I gave your guys props in my post after the tune.. The spark plugs were hosed because of the crappy tune at ForceFed, but that was not the main issue. I replaced those plugs when I installed the engine in the new car just 2 months ago. The main issue has and always was the tune issue and that after 7 tuners I finally found one that has almost solved my issues. With this issue still there I'm sure these new plugs wont last long either.

you do understand that with bad tunning can foul plugs with in minutes of running so it doesnt matter if you changed plugs every week. if the tune is off enough it makes the plugs go bad. sorry about your bad luck with the tunning issues. but realize alot of people who dont know shit about there own cars give bad advice to others all the time. good luck with future mods, with the right setup making 600plus will be no problem

I know.. thats why I said before that I might be messing these up too till I get a fix. It should last longer as long as I dont whomp on it till warm. Now I just need Tony to e-mail me back =-/.. haha




PS> I asked the mods to clean up this thread a little so dont call them Nazi's.. haha
