Gday fellas,

I have a stock LS3 VF2 and currently looking at getting the OTR and tune walkinshaw package, for for a bit more punch and bring in cold air.

One of my favourite things about the LS3 is the over run and crackle that it gives when your comming off the gas, I was told by the mob that does the package they tune this out because it damages the engine / bad for the car in general, is this true? If so why would holden include it in their factory tune.. or should I go with another mob who will keep the over run in the tune.

Cheers!

Any good tuner can keep this. It has no effect on longevity of the engine.

If the tuner told you this, run...

If it's the walkinshaw mob doing this, shop elsewhere.

Plenty of excellent reputable tuners around.

Where abouts are you ?

Cheers for the reply! I would have thought so, it was horsepower factory in Dandenong, they do walkinshaw and harrop. Just dident sound right, maybe it’s more effort for them to keep the overrun ( they have to custom tune? ) rather than their pre made tune?

I’m south eastern suburbs, Melbourne!

Easy, head to C&A Auto in Blackburn, they're Commodore fanatics. Ask about the 385kw package. I got it on my Motorsport Edition and love it and they've been servicing my car for 5+ years. Here's a link for comparison to stock sound.

I never understood pop tunes for the sake of pop tunes in fuel injected cars

Are they meant to make a car slowing down sound "fast"????

WTF

Kids these days......

Just another way of wasting fuel, and attracting Vic. coppers.
