DJust got back from having superchip installed with custom tune at
JDM Engineering. Very interesting results. They did a pull with my
Diablo Sport chip still installed. The chip was ordered from Diablo
and they burned the chip according to my mods. 1'st pull: hp-227.
Removed chip. 2'nd pull: hp-234. I actually made less power with
the Diablo chip. Really goes to show that every car is not the same
and when having a chip installed it seems like you really need time
on the dyno with a custom tune. Bunch of pulls later after the Superchip
with custom tune: hp-251, tq-280. No tq #'s on first two pulls on dyno.
I'm not sure if this would be considered an isolated case, but what the
numbers are telling me is that without a custom tune and dyno time
with A/F ratio looked at, and you have a mail order chip, and you have
some decent mods, you are not getting everything out of your car that
you could be. The SOTP feel now is like driving a different car. Everything
is better. Throttle response, upshifts, downshifts, no hesitation when
romping on it. ( By the way, it is a slushbox if you were wonderin" ) The
car feels stronger all the way around. This is just my .2.
it for what it's worth. I believe it.
at another location ( Performance Specialties ):best pull 260lb/ft.
