Anyone have the tuning for a NIC CAM?

**Shifty** · 12-30-2012

you trying to say my car is slow?? :-p and i have 3" back to slp loudmouth mufflers. pretty sure my car is louder than nascar, no cats no resonaters

here is the idle clip u have been wanting

even without an exhaust leak the NIC throws alot of air at the narrowband at idle/cruise.

So how do you like the NIC? Worth the effort of installing and tuning? Considering selling my 1.9's and getting a NIC

Any cam install done right will be worth the effort. If you have access to your own tuning software like I believe you do, of course. And last but not least, yeah it is a great cam if you just want power quick with no intercooler.

Specific tuning is not really a requirement for a cam setup.

it most def is with a nic cam you will chip your piston with a quickness without a tune with that cam..

I think a very specific MAF map is necessary if you want to tune your vehicle for maximum efficiency.
Especially if one was to go open loop biased.

Never found this. I have never touched a maf table if it had a stock gm maf (lq4/ls1/stock 3800)... everything i do is openloop.

Nic has a tiny tiny bit of idle reversion but i am far from that picky when doing tuning.

**wa04compg** · 01-03-2013

I'm kinda cheap and don't want to pay for a IC and a cam...so the NIC works well by itself and sounds awesome...prob doesn't have the power potential a IC XP does but still good bang for my buck...and yes tuning won't be a issue

lol i guess my standards are a lil lower im going for the sound i live within city limits.. Ill probubly be forever known as IDLE MAN sitting at stoplights loving the sound of my beastly idle then being honked at for not going when the light turns green speeding off squeeling tires to the next light only to start all over with the loving of the idle and light turning green and being honked at like im a 88 year old man with his wife on a sunday morning after church...
