I will say I think its the 98 ecm(less tables) or Zac f'n with it because Robert's car runs good. I'm gonna give JP a shot when my car is ready and if he cant get it right then its going to tuten.

To the OP:
JP just tuned my old GTO and the new owner says it runs way better. I'm supposed to go take it for a spin this week. I'll let you know how it runs.

I would love to have someone local tune it for me. But the finance department(WIFE) is already on my ass about this.

I can have Alvin tweak the tune for $50, or invest what, $350 or $400 for one of the local guys to do it? We'll see what happens. If I come out ahead on the money part, I will have JP tune it. I've spoken with him and it seems that he would like to do it, so we'll see.

Stall / built trans / headers / plugs / wires / trans cooler / catless Y all at one time is gonna hurt the spendin money!

my car had a lot of underlying issues we didnt know about. the harness was split for the cam sensor, we were trying to run a 2.5 bar map on a stock 98 ecm, it was just a cluster from the get go.

i could get into "blank" did "blank" to "blank" car but im not, ive personally seen some tunes that just make you wonder WTF were they thinking, but this isnt the time or place for it

Im saying nothing bad about jp. He's a great guy and I've talked with him.at the track. Zac your car rode out and so does bobs. He would also prolley do great papa bear.

PapaBear · 05-25-2011, 07:57 AM

Yeah, I'm sure he would. Gotta get the rest of these little parts ordered, probably be two weeks before I get up with Gerald, so hopefully by that point, the money thing will be right and I can have JP come out and tune it.

Hate to drop Alvin like that, he has been super helpful with my truck, and he really does a great job with a tune, even being mail order.

We put a lot of ProTorque converters in the Hemi's and I really like how they work.

Got one going in my Jimmy and looking forward to seeing how it works.

PapaBear · 05-25-2011, 08:25 AM

Can you price one for me. Looking to go in 3000-3200 RPM range. I am AWD by the way.

Thanks

Absolutely. I'll have Jeff check on it.

Sorry. Super Man Motor Sports. Was kidding around.

Carlrx7 · 05-25-2011, 05:20 PM

honestly, if you just adding headers and a converter, i would just give alvin another 50 for a quick reflash.

now if you added a cam, i would go with someone local, so they can tweak any issues you have.

PapaBear · 05-25-2011, 08:22 PM

Yeah that's the plan.....in a few months when the motor gets "opened" up I'll probably go with someone local. Really want to buy HPtuners and learn to do it myself but I'm really hesitant. Would be good to log and have Alvin handle tune that way. We'll see.

Carlrx7 · 05-25-2011, 08:25 PM

i can log for you

PapaBear · 05-25-2011, 08:44 PM

Really....I would gladly buy you dinner and drinks for some help with an email tune in a month-ish! Or pay you, whatever you would prefer!

Thanks Carl, I'll be in touch.

Can't wait to start buildin this pig.
