Gotcha. Sweet. Definitely will look into that and talk to him about it ! Thanks. Also. Along with the thread. What mods can you definitely add without NEEDING a tune. I get all mods will be better with one. The intake is kinda iffy from what I can tell. Can a downpipe be added ? What about injen charge pipes.

I would just get dp and intake and get tuned with that. You can get chargepipes and you won't need a tune

KMO43

A tune will add the most power and then add the parts from there

Alex S

Gotcha. And since you said you do the retunes. It makes it convenient to buy parts after the fact and have it re-tuned. ty

KMO43

Yes

ForceFedDork

so which car did you buy?

Alex S

Actually haven't bought it yet. As im dealing with loan issues. The sedan though. It's beautiful 😁

Haha I told you!

Alex S

😅 you persuaded me to give it a shot. Haha. I hope all goes well with the loan and I can end up getting it.

I am tuned by KMO43 also. Great guy and even a better tuner. Trims are so pretty I just like to stare at them lol

My only mods are a catless downpipe and charge pipes at this point. Very pleased with the results.

Alex S

Very good (: do you know many hp you're putting to the wheels with that done ?

You'd have to ask Kevin what he thinks. I'm not too familiar. The car pushes 22.5 psi but I'm only on 91 so you can't really add a whole hell of a lot of timing. I would guess I'm approaching 280 or so. I had an LSJ before my sedan that was tuned on E and put down 279.5 on a Dynojet but my sedan feels much faster. So I could be way off lol

KMO43

You should run E

Kinda demanding, Kevin. lol

KMO43

100% right i did that and im 100% happy with kmo43. he is the nicest and most helpful guy out there. i was new to the whole hptuners and he was able to set me up with it and i have already gotten a couple tunes from him! he is an amazing tuner!

He is really good, even with my car doing stupid things out of his control the car feels alot better than on stock turbo and other tune I had

I will also recommend KMO43. I've been tuned by Trifecta, ZZP, and two other reputable tuners on here with hpt. I thought my **** was tight until I got a little sample of what KMO43 could do. He made me fall back in love with my car all over again. What else can I say? He's the fastest tuner I've ever worked with, great support and service, and yes, he IS pushy. He's ALWAYS bugging me to get him more logs!!! That dude doesn't rest I tell ya. He lives and breathes these LNF motors and that's exactly the type of guy you want messing with your car.

Now for modding your car, I had a Dejon CAI and MPX catless downpipe whole exhaust system including a resonator and I ran that for a whole month with no issues or codes! I even raced a buddy of mine once just to see if it would throw a code or something. Nope. No codes, no limp mode, no problems. Then when I got my upgraded intercooler with the chargepipes I finally bit the bullet and got tuned. It all boils down to what you want from your car. If you're only looking for 300 whp then just those bolt-ons and a tune will get you there. Buy and install all your bolt-ons first then just tune once and be done with it. Or at least that was the approach I took. It will keep you happy for a while.

I totally agree with the first part lol he is pushy and wants to tune the car

KMO43

Lies

Snail_SS

Haha always tell him what to do and it should be fun

It's a good pushy though. He does multiple logs to double check everything and make sure that all the trims are in place and he makes sure that your 60-100 time is faster than before that's for sure lol

KMO43

Ya you're not allowed to tell me what to do
