Need more info...

I see on your site that your tune brings a stock 2.0 up to 310 HP. If that's legit, that's pretty impressive. How is this tune installed? Do you need to have HP Tuners or is this a new ECM?

We can do this a few ways....

1) Send us your ECM in the mail.
2) If you have HP Tuners we can send you the file.
3) We get dealer pricing on stock GM Parts so we can send you a new ECM with our Tune on it.

Let us know what flavor you like.

Martin

That's an excellent price. Any other customizing besides the downpipe/high flow cat? Will it work with aftermarket IC, CAIs and other products?

Yes, as long as your Intake does not change the I/D of the MAF housing.

The only variables that go into our tunes are if there are changes to the MAF housing, I/C, and Down pipe (Cat Delete or HI-Flow CAT).

Thanks,

Martin

Good deal. So how much is the tune on a new ECM? I didn't see that option on your site.

Does this tune lock us out of HPTuners?

So, since I have the Fujita CAI, your tune would not work for me???

Yes, we can tune the motor but we still can not touch the transmission. When we get those capabilities we will pass them on to our members.

If your CAI will work on your stock tuning then yes it will work with our tune.....the only time we have to alter our programing is if you change the I/D of the MAF housing. If you change the I/D of any MAF housing it will throw any tune off.

Thanks,

Martin

The site say's "we have preformed months of Dyno runs"

Do you have dyno charts to show?

I don't see any rev limiter changes, so do they remain at stock setting?

Update: We now have a supply of ECM's on order, cost for a pre-flashed ECM will be $700.... This is a nice option for those who wish to swap between a tuned ECM and a stock one.

The motor is tuned to the new Spec's but as of now we can not touch the Transmission controls. When we have the ability to re-tune the TCM we will make the announcement.

Dyno chart's will be up early next week....and as of now we are leaving the Rev limiter at 6300rpms....If you wanted a custom tune we would be happy to work with you.

Sorry to be a pest but that still doesn't tell me what happens...

Does the tranny goes to limp mode or something? Does it run at all? What actually happens if you try to drive the car???
