Thread: overkill, zzp

is anyone running a zzp box tune for an xp cam?

is anyone running an overkill tune set up for an xp cam?

better? worse? 1/4 mile times?

i know zzp is the big guy here, i just need a tune and dont want to blow the car up.

Although I don't have a cam... I ordered a overkill pcm couple days ago.

Box tunes suck! Get HPT and do it yourself!

dont have the money right now, and whats in it isnt right at all lol, i just need a base to start with

I wouldn't trust a box tune with a cam because you can have identical setups and still get different results engine/performance wise.

Not really. Paying what you would pay for a 2 box tunes (one now, one when you mod again) is going to run you the same if not more than used HPT with credits. Plus being able to change with climate changes is also good.

Last I heard Overkill wasn't responding to messages. ZZP's tunes have popped a few motors. Let's support a site vendor and inform him of Reptiles tunes, which I've never heard a negative word about. If I were to ever order a box tune, it would be from Reptile.

It would behoove you to look into paying a tuner to set your car up; you've already gone through the trouble of camming the car, why get sloppy on the details?

not trying too, i have to wait untill the guy who tuned my car last time is available. there is not alot of experinaced tuners in my area for the L67, im just guessing, but i pretty sure on this one since there are hardly any modded gtps up here. and there are not many memebers from the area on just about any site lol.

Just for the record, Will from Overkill just got back from vacation on the 9th I believe. That info is on the site, he had a discount going for orders while he was away.

I got said discount! I emailed Will on the 6th (while he was on vaca) and he e-mailed me today saying my PCM will be in the mail tomorrow .

Not true. Retunes are $50 through me, plus $25 shipping, and likely $25 to return ship to me, so say $100 a retune. You'd be on your 4th retune (5th tune overall) by the time you equal the price of purchasing a new HP Tuner software, nevermind the challenge of using it.

As mentioned, was on holidays!

I also didn't realize my sponsorship of the site had run out, it was auto renewal the last few years? Responsored!

There's one problem. It takes time to learn how to tune and if someone has never done it before it's not something you just start messing with. Input the wrong values and you just blew your engine. It takes time to learn which parts to tweak. I personally would rather pay someone else who has the knowledge to do it right the first time. Than spend weeks or even months getting a tune just right. Less time tuning means more time to beat on the car and have a good time.

so go with the more conservative one

should i pm reptile about a tune?

Did he put a lock on the tune? That would make him a jerk.

Any professional tuner can tune your car.

If you can't get a custom tune, this is the next best thing.

Dont even consider ZZP... I know from experience

I would go with Overkill. I was happy with mine and Gibby didn't have any issues with it, if that's who you're talking about.
