Anyone has any sugestions on what settings to put everything at? or does the customs tunes from SCT dealers have alot more paramters they can change. and doing it myself would be worthless?

[Codeman]

idk good question i just got mine about a month ago too and i was curious on the things to change. ik the only thing i changed on mine besides different octanes and driving conditions was the idle speed i dropped like 50 i think i thought it sounded a little cooler and i changed the rev limit in neutral cuz i got a manual i changed it to 2700 so i could hold the gas to the floor with the clutch in and not worry and it made a pretty big difference in acceleration at least my little light to light races. lol but ya idk wut else to adjust to so i guess a little help for the both of us would be nice lol.

[mease87]

You changed it to 2700??? my option doesnt let me go that high. and im confussed by what you mean you can hold the gas to the floor and not worry? want to explain that more? lol

i also have a stick shift

You can hold the gas to the floor and it will not go past 2700 RPM. That way you can be rest assured knowing that you're not going to spin your tires off the line.

Like 300 more parameters. Make sure you know what you are doing before you mess with it.

Dude, you are not supposed to EVER hold the gas to the floor while its bouncing off the limiter!! Use just enough gas to let it hit the limiter then go wot when you dump the clutch. sometimes some cars have trouble exiting the neutral limiter so check it at part throttle first.

hah I never even used that option, I use my VMP custom tune then change the settings hes unlocked. Most of that stuff you dont need to touch. Unless you want to turn off TC which a lot of people do like myself.

TRICK TUNERS...

Do you have any suggestions when i go back to that dealer i went to. any parameters you recommend to tell him to change while im there. ? maybe some that you know that he might not . maybe narrow it down to the most benificial ones??

[ewells2420]

Yeah you are really better off by getting a canned email tune from someone like VMPtuning.com or maybe even that trick tuners guy, never dealt with them so I dont know.

They will adjust all the settings so they improve performance on your engine to what mods you have.

[Codeman]

ok i c on the whole neutral rev limiter. i didnt know that i always thought that was why the drag cars popped on the line a lot is cuz the limiter but i supposed that is still hard on them. thanks for telling me before i screwed something major up.

[ewells2420]

If by "popped on the line" you mean doing wheelies it has nothing to do with what RPMs they launch at ..... well it does but not the way you are thinking about. They can do that because A. They have dragg radial which are sticky as hell and B. They have the HP and TQ to do it lol.

I can't tell a guy how to tune in a single post (or even a month!!) Hopefully he knows whats up and if he did things properly you will probably not need to adjust anything.

yeah, they pop because of the limiter, but its best to use just enough throttle to keep it on the limiter, and floor it just before you are going to dump the clutch.

[Codeman]

i meant by popped how they sit there hold in the car at a constant rpm and it just sounds like the neutral rev limiter they r using.
