Hello,
I am finally going to get serious about tuning my GTS buggy with its VEC II. I recently updated from true OEM to a free flow exhaust (bullets), step colder plugs, fresh air intake (filters/smooth tubes), and TNT nitrous (Texas Nitrous Technology). All good.
Prior to the above changes, my stock logs were surprising, lean for my taste at 13.4AFR at WOT. But that was reading off the OEM oxygen sensors, but I beleive they are narrow band (anyone confirm?). So my first step is to move over my UEGO wideband from my Grand National for tuning the GTS.
I am looking for owners/users that do thier own tuning, especially for N/A GEN IIs, and share knowledge and experience.
I have a working knowledge and plan to get serious about pulling out N/A horses from tuning alone; plus making the tunes safe for 100-200 TNT shots. I come with personal experiance tuning my LS6 and LS408 stroker motors (HP Tuners & EFI Live) and old time Grand National turbo motors....and how not to blow them up under pressure/juice. But I'll admit, this odd fire V-10 motor is a different animal. Crazy low WOT timing of 22-24 degrees and speed density; the GN and Vette all used a MAF. Ok. Dissappointed about the lack of personal tuner software, but for my purposes on the GTS, the VEC will work perfectly.
So I hope to be able to contribute to this forum and kick off more discussions on personal tuning. Just hope there is an interest for this info, and others that have knowledge to share. I have had little luck in finding posts that go into detail on individual tunes. But I have found great information on how to properly use the VEC, and its parameters thanks to DamnYankee.
Is it still the practice to upload tunes to Mediafire? I've logged in there and have not found a single tune.
I know I am a little late to the party.....so type up a reply and let me know your out there!
