No-that'd be really dumb don't u think?? Their tune is good for intake, header and exhaust. Which was all I originally planned to do. Chris "GTPprix" said they only have another tune for long tube headers if you go that route. A slight AF adjustment.

I may be considering turbo options or going with 2.0 injector tunes (which didn't exist when I got the Vector) to do a bit of comparing and I wanted to get into the ECM with P tuners if I need to. If you know you are staying on a certain build platform or path Vector is awesome. My plans have changed.

 

so you must give your oem computer like a core charge? and to undo the process i guess you must buy another stock computer?

 

You can ship them your ECM overnight. They flash it and send it back. I got mine in two days (out and back) and plugged it back in. In order to undo it you can send it back to them and they will flash it back to stock.

167.9whp,164.6wtrq in my 2.4. Im happy with that considering I dont have a tune

 

and im guess your ECM is behind the black removable plastic gaurd on the driver side, behind the fuse boxs?

 

Yeah, it has 3 heavy cables going to it with monster clamps.

 

Ya..here is my how to on removal.

dyno numbers in sig from when i didnt have turbo

 

My numbers are in my sig, there not to bad considering that it was over 100*'s that day.

 

How much did they charge?

 

For my original flash?

 

Here's my dyno, first run was done with Injen CAI and axle back exhaust, 2nd was after the dyno tune from vector.

 

Now we're getting somewhere!

 

I'll be taking it back to vector with a few more goodies to get it re-tuned, CIA's long tube w/ cattless dp, ss/sc injectors and oh yeah a 75 shot . Goal is 250whp and matching tq.

 

Have you considered / calculated HP gain of "Ramming" CAI with pick-up scoops? Say 30 sq inches of scoop at 60 MPH to "pressurize the CAI?

Old time - 1960s and 70s mechanic / racer

 

i put down 173whp with 169 tq 14.9 1/4 9.5 1/8th

i cant load anymore pics yet.

stop posting a 1/4 mile time that is calculated from an 1/8th mile time. If you don't have a time slip it doesn't count get it??

 

tough thats the right time.

ryan.

 

i've been telling him that since he opened his mouth... if you didn't actually run a 1/4 mi track then it's just ricer math

 

You got a timeslip for it then?? If you actually believe in this, for the lack of a better word , "ricer" math shows your true intelligents.

Theres a few of us that have told him this repeatedly and he doesn't listen

 

im worry but with 173 you arent running 14s lol... prolly just like everyone else lol mid 15s maybe low 15s

 

well maybe if everyone could figure algebra and pre calc they could figure with percentages and amount of throttle and fuel rates. and amount of accelaration compared to traction and weight. see its not that difficult to figure it takes time and thinking. i did its actually about 14.9843 was the time and 15.1257 which wasnt to bad if calculated right.

ryan.

 

Please show us the "algebra" you used. Did you have any idea how many variables are involved during a single 1/4 mile run? amount of throttle? you race at anything other then 100%? this is ridiculous that you claim you've done the math, cause there is no math to do. There is so many uncontrollable variables its insane

 

rlin your time is just about as credible as me saying i ran a 15 with a 92 trap and a 2.1 60ft stock because I counted mississippi's when I was pulling out onto the thruway

yes there is a type of math... it's called RICER math

I bet your street glow's give you 3 HP too don't they

 

Thats not the point, its possible, a 2.4 w/ only intake ran a 15.0 or 15.1 its possible with his mods but untile he runs at an actually 1/4 mile track and has a slip, he hasn't run a 14.9 just a 9.5 1/8th mile
