Stratified (Lex) Tune! (330/393 VD)

[psychophyr]

Well I gotta say, @Lex is the man. The difference in power he was able to pull from the Cobb OTS tune to the final result is nothing short of magic/ground-up unicorn dust. The tuning process went really quickly, which of course is dependant on how quickly you get logs for new maps. The pace at which Lex is able to review and put maps out, when he clearly is busy as hell and this isn't his only job, is incredible. At one point my AFRs were going nuts, so Lex reviewed the logs and wrote me a friggin' professional report on what he thought the issue was! Which turned out to be a dying O2 sensor, which I swapped the next day. The attention to detail Lex puts into his revisions is impressive, and he wont stop tweaking and improving stuff until you are completely 100% satisfied. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience and the end result. I HIGHLY reccommend you send Lex a PM and purchase a tune from his site (Here) You will not be sorry and it's easily the best bang-for-the-buck thing you could possibly buy for your speed.

Power Mods:
Cobb SRI, TIP, AP, Autotech Internals, ATP Catless DP, CX Racing FMIC, Magnaflow CBE, BSD, E17, Stratified Load-Based Tune by Lex

On to the chart!



I know it's a VDyno! I have been trying to find an AWD dyno in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area and there just aren't any. I will take a trip to a different town if I can find one in the near future and add toss that in here for comparisons sake. But you can clearly see the gains that were made on the VDyno.

Thanks for posting this! I am very happy you're enjoying the tune and car and it's been a great experience working with you.

Wow that's phenomenal, definitely signing up with lex for a perm. dont care how long the wait is!

[exentix]

wow i was just thinking about this the other day. i was hoping for a decent price and that seems extremely reasonable for how much everybody raves about a custom tune. once i get my stuff purchased and installed i will for sure be on the list.

[dereeek]

wow, very nice.

Nice lookin graphs. What are you sittin at with a 1.01cf?

[scubasteve711]

great numbers... I can't wait to get my DP on and get ready for a tune. Those are great numbers.

Sorry for the ignorance, but what is "E17"?

^ Yep. I use 1 gallon of E85 for every 4 gallons 91.

As for the 1.01 correction numbers I have to get back to you on that, cant seem to find my other computer. But should be 8% less

@pyschophyr how do you like the bsd? im thinking of doing it next and have very similar mods and was wondering the differences and/or improvements u noticed with the bsd?

I think it's a good trade off when doing the bsd. Your motor (cyl #3) get more oil for sure. But you do get a noticeable increase in vibration at idle. I think it's well worth it and you get used to it in 100miles

[psychophyr]

Exactly what sk1nny said. You can put about another quart of oil, more oil gets to the "trouble cylinder" that runs hotter because of the extra air it gets when compared to the other cyls. Not sure if it was a placebo effect, but I noticed the engine rev a bit more eagerly. And to be honest, the extra high freq. vibes feel good on my balls.
