Supercharger Tuning

beheivjer · September 29th, 2006, 10:41 AM

with my 98 gt i need a hand held tuner to do some adjustments and aam buying a frpp supercharger because i can get a great deal at my shop. So what i would like to know is there any hand held tuner that will allow me to adjust the computer to run with the supersharger. thanks

arent the frpp superchargers, powerdyne? you do not want to go with a powerdyne if thats what it is. you can make smaller adjustments but if your going blown, you really need to have a custom tune by someone who knows these things inside and out. one little thing wrong and you could blow your motot

Very True

Just Say No To Powerdyne...

Handhelds are great for bolt-ons but with a poweradder a dyno tune is needed...Now you could get a handheld tuner from Tim @MPH and see if he can make you up a tune for your set-up and should hold you up till you can get to a dyno shop...

yeah you def need to go and put it on a dyno with a:f ratios and a experienced tuner. even the ones that come boxed in with the blower are okay, but i look at them as just something to get you to the dyno for a custom tune. you might think the car runs great but a dyno tune will make it that much better and the drivability will be greatly enhanced

And I recommend that with any kind of poweradder that you buy...be it nitrous or a form of forced induction...

This is what im getting im getting it because i cn get a deal on it through my shop we sell ford parts. The thing about getting the dyno would be to find one in the grand rapids area. But thats what im doing i just wanted a little help i was looking at the sct and the snipers but not sure which way to go.

Drgnracin72 · September 29th, 2006, 12:00 PM

dang dude, buy my procharger for less than that and youll have ahelluva better blower and make a helluva lot more power

beheivjer · September 29th, 2006, 12:05 PM

its a good thing im getting a great deal on it ill just over a grand into it after getting the install goods that are needed for it so i cant whine about it too much it will be a great buy and a great toy to drive a whole 10 miles a day to and from work and then the 50 that it gets driven on the weekend. plus it getsput on my employee account and i dont even have to wory about it 100 a month and thats all i have to do

ChrisJ · September 29th, 2006, 12:06 PM

Its A Great Deal

beheivjer · September 29th, 2006, 12:20 PM

2500 > 1200

still a big difference in price and like i said i get to put this on my emplyee account so im only paying 100 month for this.

I still would like to know about a tuner that would get me by with my current mods and then with the new motor and sc til i can get to a dyno 4 hours away and let the car sit while it gets done

ChrisJ · September 29th, 2006, 12:23 PM

SCT XCAL 2 should do what you want...

Drgnracin72 · September 29th, 2006, 12:41 PM

i promise you that you can get my supercharger for MUCH less than 2500

tuner: like he said itll help out with your current mods and you can do some slight tuning with it but it would not be sufficient for you to do the tuning yourself for the blower on that car. you have to have a very deep knowledge of how these cars computers work out!

beheivjer · September 29th, 2006, 01:07 PM

i flash these all the time as we are a ford supplier for the ecms but each time you hook up it costs $35 to flash and I would do that but I need to make little adjustments to it or even on the go it is not practicle. thats why im looking to a handheld.

Drgnracin72 · September 29th, 2006, 01:13 PM

well ya its better to go that way. just buy yourself an sct xcal 2
