AZhitman Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Being a rookie to the LS1, I'm finding that things are a bit different (you can't really "reflash" a Nissan ECU)... I've always gone to UMS Tuning for ECU / standalone engine management work. So, I guess my question is twofold: 1) Once I install my headers, catted x, Z06 catback, and intake, what's then involved in tuning it? (Car is stock at present, 59k miles) 2) Is this something where an off-the-shelf tune will suffice, or if a dyno tune is required, is there a place the locals recommend? Thanks in advance!

Bigfoot Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Everyone here will tell you to go to NicD, myself included, for a tune and pretty much stay away from those handheld jobs. With the mods you're doing a tune is not mandatory. If you plan further mods later I would wait until that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseventeen Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 You missed the dyno day at LPM today ;) Good times. But yeah word has it that NicD is the man to see and LPM has the dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZhitman Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yep - Long day at work. OK, good to know - Guess I'll hold off until I decide to get a little more aggressive with mods. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZhitman Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Think I'll be touching base with LPM real soon. I'd like to have my fan settings adjusted, and a little tweak ofthe tune to take advantage of the CAI / headers... any events or dyno days coming up over there?

Guest azz061 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Youll get a bit more than a tweak. My c5 z06 stock did a dyno of 331 rwhp Nic tuned it and did 371 rwhp on no mods! So lots of gain to get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool - You've read what I'd like to accomplish, is that something I can schedule and wait for, or do I need to hop a flight back to Surprise from Tempe until it's done? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
