My 5.4 plans...

[Petek]

i would build the motor first before i was worried about the tune :boink:

thats what i keep tellin myself. plus its been provin its a god swap. im gonna look into dyno shops around here so i can know who to go to for a dyno tune.

Since you are in Montgomery, you got Walker Dynotune in Birmingham and there is a guy in Mobile that is kickass. Then over in Atlanta you have Modular Power House.

well yea, duh yall. lmao. im just sayin. i dont wanna put months(im gonna take some time to finish this) into this and i dont wanna have to go halfway round the southeast for a reputable dyno. lol. i plan things all the way through yall

pfttt dont be a sally! tune it yourself :coolsmiley:

 

[jfor441]

Yup... The place in Montgomery that has the dyno, if you get your own software you can pay to use their dyno and tune it yourself.

Lol, is that like Canadian slang for sissy?

Jerry, if you had a wideband and SNiper or SCT Pro Racer, you totally could butt dyno tune it.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

yea but that is big bucks man, lol. ive looked into it but i need to get a wideband and the pro racer package before that can happen. not out of the possibilty of doin it that way though. i like the idea of doin every bit on my own

calling someone a sally, or a nancy is like the equivalent to calling them a sissy yes. i dont know if its canadian slang though?.


i totally am for Self tuning though.

Sniper is pretty affordable. I have loked into it, I would totally get it myself. Although there are alot of people who would say "leave it to the pro's" How do you think they got to be the pro's?

Besides, a stock ECU calibration will run the 5.4 anyway, so I think you'd have a pretty hard time blowing it up.

Sniper is absolute garbage. A bunch of kids run that shit around here, and have some "pro" who uses Sniper tune there stuff. and they make more than average power for their mods everytime but run like shit at the track...wanna know why? because they use loaded dynos to try and say that they have high numbers...shit is a fuckin joke. /rant

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

haha, i could blow an engine real quick do to the many experts on the internet, lmao. if i do go that route ill prolly have your ass locked on IM's and bust out SCT's self tunin book that don helped write

 

[jfor441]

Sniper is like 400 bucks for the software. Very reasonable.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

yea ive seen it on ebay. i would prolly go with SCT though cause the only reason its price is soo high is cause yu orderin a tuner AND the software. all i need is the software...and a laptop

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I don't care about number's personally. i have had a hard time finding an unbiased first hand review of Sniper, which is why, for 400 buck's, I'd try it out.

SCT allows you to go alot more in depth from what I've seen (pro racer), and isn't quite as fool proof as Sniper.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

yea the potential to really screw the setup is there with the pro racer package...lol.
