I believe it is ok. I went out of town for a week and came back to a dead battery. I jump started it and have not have any trouble what so ever.

 

*BUMP* Im looking for the same thing. Does anyone have C&L 93 octane tune they could email me?

I have 91 octane tune installed, all the gas stations around here sell 93 so Id like to see If I can get a performance increase with the 93 tune.

 

I did find this on diablo's site but I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see if it has a 93 octane tune in the update for the CnL.

It's been a week since I got my x-cal and loaded a tune for the first time. I noticed that the cooling fan stays on all the time now. Is that OK?

Thanks

 

No, it's not good for the electric motor of the fan. When your car is moving faster then 35mph or so there is enough wind flow where the fan is not needed. If it's on the fan will encounter resistance from the natural wind flow when driving and this will cause one of two things, it will try and slow the fan down or speed it up both of which can make the fan motor run hotter then normal and thus end up buring out the windings of the fan motor...

By the way, I would edit the first post and add the information from this thread, leave the posts though, if someone want to reply to a person regarding what he said in this thread or discuss it, then they can. Otherwise, the information is all in one post and less cluttered.

 

do tell...
I have a predator...looks like I have to take it somewhere to have it updated, tunes uploaded.

please include links to specific software/ data that will enable me to build my own tunes...

 

Potentially, we all may have problems with warranty work on our motors. Can anybody confirm Blake's method? If it's accurate, then it's a godsend.

Also, I have to state the obvious - there are many pitfalls for the DIYers and getting it done right, costs money. If you screw up, you may damage the motor. The more you add, the more you pay. If you go with the professionals, then you also keep paying for remapping/retuning - you get what you pay for.

I have a GMS Fuego/CAI&MAF combo on my '07 Mustang GT auto. I loaded the the 93 octane setting tune, about 5 weeks ago and have had absolutely no problems with it. There is no drive by wire lag and it goes like stink. I have no interest in "before & after" dyno comparisons. It's clear to me that we all have different "point of diminishing return" strategies.

 

Has anyone ever had any problems with their XCal2 not uploading the tunes into their ECM? Mine keeps getting frozen on the verifying base tune screen. I was wondering who all has had problems with their XCals. Thanks.

 

I am in cali with only 91 gas available. The xcal 2 asks you if you want to modify any of the parameters of the custom tune and that is where I set it for 91 vs. 93. Runs great!

 

Hello.

Just for checking : i've changed my 275/40/18 street tire for a 28x10.5x15 Et Drag while going on the track, but i've got some perfomance issue. I'm automatic, and i want to make sure that i haven't to change anything in my tune due to tire size vs the way my car shift. Thanks.

 

If you have updated "Live Update 2" to version 2.2.0, you might have noticed a new option to backup XC2 files. When backing up the files, the process fails about halfway through as it is downloading files from the Xcal2. It seems to be having a time out problem. Therefore no files a backed up.

Is anyone else having that problem?

 

HAS ANYONE WITH A 5 SPEED REMOVED THE REVLIMITER. HOW MUCH DID YOU GAIN. I STOP AT 6400 RPM, AND THAT STINKS. WICH PROGRAMMER WOULD BE BEST. i'M PLANING ONLY THE AIRBOX CHANGE.

TED

 

Any programmer will be able to do that, but the real question is, why would you want to totally remove it? There really isn't much more power to be had above 6500, even with a CAI and a tune. Plus you risk some major engine damage going much higher.

 

My 2007 Alloy Has A 3.55 Rear And 5 Speed, It Will Wind Out At 6400 Rpm, It Just Feels Strange That The Limiter Stops The Acceleration Instantly.

Anyone Know The Red Line On A 4.6

Thanks

 

Has anyone done a comparison of the following, diablo, sct live wire, and preditor,. and also a comparison of the airraid cai vs. the c & l or jct.

all info would be appreciated

Help! I have a Granatelli Fuego tuner and I installed a 62mm throttle body that has a bad actuator ( I didn't know ). I had long decel time upon lifting my foot from the gas. I stupidly tried to compesate by lowering both idle speed settings with the Fuego. I drove a mile and got a "check engine" light. I tried to go to stock & the tuner said "stock tune corrupt" & to call GMS. The code that comes up is : unknown err 11 NO_AUTO DETECT & the tuner no longer lists return to stock as an option. I had the computer reflashed at a dealer for 70 beans. He said they cleared and loaded the stock tune in & that I needed to let the car "relearn". It runs like poop, starts hard, idles erratically, & bogs @ WOT. Mileage went South fast. I called Steve at GMS and pulled & reloaded the memory card on the tuner, disconnected the battery, spoke to God, etc. I will name a child after anyone who can help me make peace with my beloved Mustang again. Thanks, Pat

 

Didnt notice this issue was aready addressed.

Happy motoring.

 

No. Look at the PCM (a computer) as having Ram memory just like a PC. If your PC looses power or is tuned of it looses everything in ram. The computer program still remains.

The PCM has ram and its called KAM (Keep Alive Memory). When you disconnect the battery the KAM (ram) is cleared. What will happen is your cars PCM will have to relearn, which isn't such a bad thing, any parameters associated with Adaptive Learning. This is also explained in your owners manual if you have an automatic tranny.

Later

 

When the Predator is updated Diablo provides custom tunes for some popular CAI's. Power the Predator and look under, I think, performace or custome tunes.

You will still have to have the car dyno'd to fine tune the tune.
