Has anyone tweak any of the tunes thye have go tfrom doug. ie. shift firmness, timing or whatever. Also does doug automatically remove the governor or do I need to do that myself?

RaGsHoCkEy88

wow id really like some of these answered too!! the governer is removed BTW

Dougxox

when Doug did my car I e mailed him and he sent me a set of tunes with harder shift points, never got them put in before car was wrecked. Looking forward to that when I get it back. He also removed the govener.
My segestion is to e mail him and ask him personally!

never mind....

I maxed out the "shift pressure" on mine.

Clark Kent

how exactly do i go about changing these settings. also i wanna see as to what other tweaks people have done

LEO_06GT

Go to...
Load tune
Select which ever tune you want
Then the screen will give you the option to "set optional parameters"
Select yes
Then use the arrow keys to go through the different options
When you get to an option you want to change press select
Then use the arrow keys to scroll through
Push select once you get to the setting you want
Once your done adjusting everything just exit out and it will ask you if you want to save the changes.
Select yes.
Then your tune will load.

FYI-Any changes you made will not be save to the orginal tune file.
So if you want to go back to Dougs settings just reload the tune.

It won't let you advance timing.

Clark Kent

how do i advance the timing

speaking of doug's tunes, how do i go about getting him to update my tunes for new mods?

Cobrakev

Call or e-mail him.....

It won't let you. You have to get Doug to send you a tune with more advanced timing.

steph

I dunno? I've got one of the SCT1 boxes and when I tie into my laptop and pull the tunes it will give me the option to advance/retard t/- 2to4 degrees.

When the tuner programs the XCal II, he has the option to allow the end user to modify some of the settings (Program with Options). Whether you can or cannot make modifications depends on how the tuner was feeling the day he created the tune file. If he selects Program with Options, the attached pic is the splash screen that appears. From here the tuner can select what he wishes you to have some control over.

The X CAL II is fully adjustable for fuel mixture, timing, shift pressure, idle rpms in park or drive, high rpms limitier, speed limitier and what color panty hose your passenger is wearing

Your usually not going to want to make any timing or fuel mixture adjstments with out having some diagnostic equipment hooked up while on a dyno for what is safe or not, leave that to the loaded tune and the octane it wants.

Clark Kent

the reason is i had ordered 94 oc tunes doug sent me 93. i put in 94 so i want to advance the timing to accomadate that

I-70 west

I wanted to do same of the same with timing and fuel but my X Cal supplier said the tunes he installed were the best already.
Check your X Cal for what he has done about the govenor. My car came factory without a speed limitier setting and my X Cal had it set at 120 mph on all three tunes but in adjustable parameters I can still delete his setting to leave it open. I have hit 125 mph easily with nothing but the 87 tune, guess I should try it on the 92 but my speedometer quits at 125 or 200 klmph.
You should be safe with 2 degrees advance through all rpm ranges with such a minimal increase in octane.

how do i go about advancing the timing though

Bullitt995

1. Plug in your tuner to your OBDII port
2. Go to program vehicle
3. Go to custom tune
4. Go to whichever tune you want, 93 race I guess
5. It will ask you for optional parameters, select yes
6. Go to spark 0-2000, advance 2 degrees
7. Go to spark 2000-4000, advance 2 degrees
8. Go to spark 4000-6000, advance 2 degrees
9. Back out of everything and it will ask you to save changes, select yes
