[bocou92]

Anyone have a tune for a 2002 gtp with these mods:

Cold air intake
160 thermostat
Speed daddy headers
Zzp 3" stainless steel cat back with cat

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

Because ZZP said so.

That's what I heard everybody uses is the 160, right?

No there is no point. Put a 195 back in

[crbquist]

I'm on a 2.8 pulley and I run a 180*. 160 is way too cold for a near stock setup.

Huh Ok. But still need a tune

[theaceofspades]

Your basically stock put the 195 back in

[bocou92]

it doesnt really run @ 160 it runs like 175 or 185, but if the 160 could cause damage to the engine then i will. but i need a tune for my other stuff i have, going to, put on

Don't need a tune for some exhaust and an intake.

If you really want to run the colder t-stat, then yes, you'd need a tune to change your fan settings, but that's about it.

[bocou92]

what would you tune if you were going to get one for these mods? just curious.

[Scottydoggs]

you dont need a tune till you drop pulleys, swap to a perfomance cam shaft or add a ic.

I've tuned bone stock cars and picked up a half second in the 1/4 mile.

What did you do to those tunes?! Haha.. Fueling changes or bumped up the shift points?

sorry, not trying to thread jack. Hoping this may help

[SnowFlake]

Just got the cars to stop knocking, then from there raised the shift points a little and had the trans shift firmer/faster.
One guy in a Regal GS was running 15.1-15.2 all day and I talked him into a tune right there at the track... next pass was 14.5.

Yeah a tune can defiantly help, but if you don't have constant access to a tuner then tuning at every small change is kinda pointless. If you plan on going further in your build, wait until you drop a pulley, get a cam or something that really changed how the motor flows.

Tune helps on any car, regardless of mods.

Trade off the 160* for a 180*.

Get new wires/plugs if you haven't. Flip the factory mounts.

Lots of little things you can do to help the car.

[darkhorizon]

Help is a strong word but I dont disagree. I wouldnt tune a car unless I had to and ive flashed over 2000 files to 3800s in my day.

There's a lot of trans work That can be done stock or not.
