So i put a lid and longtubes on my ws6 this weekend and now i am getting less than like 10 mpg. Wheres the cheapest place in town for a dyno tune? i have alot of plans for my car in the coming months and, but i cant wait that long for a tune :banghead: so i just need one to get me by until i can tune it again when i get all my crap on

solid is a good place to get a dyno tune sean knows his shit

 

[StrugglinSteve]

well i know that for sure, i trust those guys with anything. i just wanted it on the cheapside for now, without doing a mailorder.

 

[Teknotard]

they arent mail order...and an HP tuners tune should be toooo hard for Sean to do.

 

[SLOBRA]

I'd PM lbz34.

 

[Trey]

Solid tech for sure. And he can tune it on the street which would be cheaper than a dyno tune.

 

[buffhomer]

Cheapest way, port the MAF.

Why would just a lid and exhaust cause a extreme rich condition? It didn't throw the car in limp mode or anything did it?

Ya that's ridiculous. I put a lid and my fuel mileage stayed the same. I also put on a new exhaust which dropped my mileage a whole .5 mpg, only because I started to run it higher before I shifted so I could hear the hear it lol

 

[buffhomer]

Headers historically make you run rich on an LS1. Now 10mpg? Who knows.

 

[TRMIN8R]

Is the car running rough? Could have a bad o2...

But, Sean at Solid can tune the car better than anyone in the state.

 

[slowLSx]

mine is rich with a full exhaust and intake, but 10 mpg is crazy as hell

 

[LS1=GOD]

i think its an exageration but id say get ported maf ends and see what happens. Spending $600 on a tune for a bolt on car isnt really worth it

 

[OnebadWs6]

I have ported maf ends if your intrested. And what else do you plan on doing to the car. Modification wise. Cause if you have major mods coming up. Might as well wait til you get them done instead of paying for another tune.

 

[StrugglinSteve]

well going from the north valley to monty & eubank drained a quarter tank on saturday night :banghead: ill try a ported maf, also looking to get a ls6 mani sometime this week, so hopefully itll help. i think ill just hold off on a tune until itll actually be worth the money

Well, some of the better shops will offer you a large discount, if not a free retune if you need adjustments or a retune within a certain amount of time.

For example, I know TSP doesn't charge for a retune if it's within a year of the original tune.

+1, is there a check engine light on.

Wait a while for the car to get used to it. Mine took like 2 weeks

Are your headers ceramic coated or just painted? Did you buy them new or used? My roomate put a set of the painted headers on his trans am and once they got hot, the paint that got on the inside flaked and got on the 02 sensor and made the car run like shit. Just a thought, though.

exactly. So for little supporting mods mail order tunes are the best. IMO. Until your complete with your setup. Then a Dyno Tune hands down. Hell with TSP you pay $200 for a mail order tune. Retune anytime for a year for free. And if within that year you want to dyno tune it. You pay the remainding $175 or so.

Locally Solid Technology seems to be the most popular and succesful. But like Trmin8r said . Check the o2's, plugs, codes. Etc.Etc.
