Sounds good. Do they tune it for your mods or is it just a canned tune like BSR?

I'll take that challenge. Maybe you could be the first to take an RPI car to the 1/4 mile and report your results...

Remember Eloy, we have 93 Octane in Florida, nowadays, starting to mix 1-10% ethanol with it, BUT, its not that Californy 91 Oct garbage at least

..
So far my Chevron up the street is still putting out pure gas, BUT I am paying more for it..whereas shell is selling the polluted gas cheaper..

DirtyMike · 07-16-2008, 08:04 PM

Just got my ECU back from RPI.. THAT CAR IS NO FREAKEN JOKE!!!!! i put it in thinking its gonna be a little better like usual. that thing put me on my A$$ in every gear.... i have to RE LEARN how to drive the car now.. it is the same effect as to when most of us moved from a base to a RL.. your shift points are way off and its a total diff animal.. well the regular RL is a base sky now compaired to this tune... IF ANYONE has been thinking about this.. YOUR CRAZY if you dont get it done... if anyone wants to drive my car and is in this area let me know your more then welcome..

Can you feel the initial loss in torque in the lower rpms? I know the gain in the upper rpms is fantastic, but I noticed a loss of about 15lbft/hp in the lower rpms based on the dyno shown by RPI. I am still looking at this tune, but really don't want to have to rev the car in normal driving conditions. I woudl be worried about higher engine temps...

Nemesis · 07-21-2008, 12:19 PM

Also, did you get just the tune, or the intercooler, exhaust, downpipe as well?

YellowSky · 07-21-2008, 12:28 PM

i have no low end problems... the car performs ALOT better all around no need to REV to do anything in normal conditions.... i have had the innercooler Xaust and CATLESS DP along with the RPI intake...

ok, so you got everything. I thought maybe you had just gotten the tune. I forgot the last quote on everything was, but I remember it being like $1800 or something....I think Eloy offered it as a combo + tune. He had offered everything in stages. You even got the racing catless down pipe.....is there any drone at hwy speed? I do mostly hwy speeds of 60+ on the way to work and I drive for an hour each way...

YellowSky · 07-21-2008, 05:55 PM

SCVanguard · 07-22-2008, 01:39 AM

I knew you'd like it! You should hit the 1/4 mile soon...I'm taking mine this weekend and possibly running against a GXP with dejon and fujita equipment. Should be an interesting race!
