    how long does a ls1 dyno tune take

    Ok, thanks, I guess that pretty much answers my questions. My combo is the same as everyone else's (more than likely) with a full exhaust/otr.

    how long does a ls1 dyno tune take

    Not worried about the price. I just included that to point out I did pay a proper price for it. So it's definitely possible to get a decent tune in that time if they know what there doing. My car is a basic full exhaust/otr combo.

    how long does a ls1 dyno tune take

    Hi, Just wanted to know how long it takes to do a dyno tune. When I had my vz ss tuned, it took less than an hour. About 1hr 15 mins from the time I arrived till the time I drove out including paying and having a bit of a chat about other mods. I heard the car ramp up about 3 times and rev for...

    1/4 mile times V HP

    I went the drags the other day and ran a 13.6 @102mph in my vz ss A4. I have a mafless tune 308rwhp (230rwkw) with full exhaust and ziggy OTR. I was happy with this but wanted a low 13 sec quarter. So I went and put some 3.7's in and the best I could do again was a 13.6 @ 105mph so this...

    vz fuel consumption with tune

    Pretty much what the tuner said but I do the same 70km round trip on the hwy even day. The exhaust was on the car when I bought it. Try-y pacies, high flow cats and twin 2.5in exhaust. I have since put new o2 sensors in. Reset pcm

    How to tell if my cars been tuned

    Just wondering if there is any way to tell if my car has been tuned before. It's a vz ss. When I bought it it had a full exhaust system on it with stock intake and goes great. No stickers on it anywhere to say it's been to a tuner. Cheers.

    I just put an aftermarket h/u in my 04 vz SS and have lost some of the functions of my dash like headlights courtesy on and door lock controls etc. I've done a search and looks like I need a dash software upgrade. Anyone done it or have any other advice. So annoying as I just pulled...

    I have a 175 alloytec vz, Just after some advise on extractors and cats, will they give me more power or just move the power up the rev range. I've done a search and there's just so much confusion out there. Things I've done so far is cai, 12mm manifold spacers, twin 2.25in catback and mace...

    I have one, pretty good, can do a stand still if I wanted to now, not that I do, not my thing. I'm so used to flooring it everywhere to get it moving that now if I drive it the same it will spin the wheels. Not in a straight line take off but going around a corner or powering through a corner...

    Look at the 10th number of the V.I.N. If it's a 4 then it's and 04, and if it's a 5 then it's a 05.

    VZ fuel consumption 18.0L /100 help

    I find my vz is in closed loop a lot(using a Bluetooth obd2 adaptor to see its in closed loop). Even under moderate accelerator meaning it's using all the sensors including O2 sensor to control fuel/timing. If your O2 sensors are buggered then so will your fuel economy. Depending on which model...

    12mm or 25mm spacer for vz

    Yeah pretty simple, the second time I pulled the manifold off I did it in under 1.75hrs including degreasing the whole manifold, cleaning the old gaskets off and removing the throttle body etc. Really is simple.

    Fuel? - Does it make that much of a difference?

    Ethanol destroys your fuel system, cause bacteria to form in your tank and in general bad. It doesn't clean it, it eats away at it. Yes bp and caltex offer 10% blends called E10 but not in there premium fuels to raise octane. There's no economic benifet from it, fuel economy is much worse on...

    Fuel? - Does it make that much of a difference?

    Only if you go to those dodgy places, she'll, bp and caltex defiantly don't do this. United 100 is just 98 with 10% ethanol. You would be surprised by what fuels are shared by the fuel companies. Ie, shell gets there 98 from caltex and and diesel from bp etc (these are just examples and...

    Any good alloytec mail order tunes

    Ok thanks, i called yesterday and got the info I wanted, I just couldn't get onto turbo industries even though I called a few times. Both tunes sound like what I want and are both the same price. Although with turbo industries they can load the tune onto a autocal so no down time.
