im looking around a bunch of places and have found only a few tunes for the 08 L. which is the best do u think and which gives us the most hp and tq?
Depends. Do you want a plug and play piggyback system that you can tune yourself everytime you get an upgrade and be safe from your warranty or do you want a computer reflash that when/if you ever take your car to the dealership will either reflash your ecu to stock (Goobye $400) or void your warranty and can only be retuned with upgrades by sending it back to the company?????
proven gains with a flash that will be reflashed if dealership ever reflashes it.. or splice your wires for no reason..??
^ now I wouldnt say for no reason, but the only way im getting that piggy is if I get the software along with it and get mine tuned for optimal results on my car.
sooooooo where does that leave me? any suggestions of what i should do? lol i just want the most hp (dont we all)
Well the most hp with a tune would be taking your car (with the right piggy or chip) to a dyno and getting it custom tuned that way. A couple of us have been discussing tuning here, http://lancertuners.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=5660 started of differently but its only like 9 posts so far so not to much to read.
i say if you dont have a turbo, you dont' need a tune, you are fine save up your money. I had the piggy and it sure as hell wasn't worth my 450+ dollars.
+1 There really is no sense in "Tuning" your car if there is nothing to force feed it... save your money and buy a turbo first....
I diffinetly agree with buying a turbo first, but since goof was asking about a tune I just gave my thoughts on a tune. I for one think they do help, worth the money for the power diffinetly not. The most power for money gain is probably nitrous but I would rather bolt on a turbo lol.
The piggyback is tuned for 87 octane, intake, exhaust, and pulley. With the I/E/P and piggyback, gains have been very noticable. With the header, you should show slightly even more. Which brings me to a new issue. Certain members bash paying $450 for the piggyback claiming only minimum or very little performance gain yet sport the $450 header that only puts out maybe 3 whp. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
