Where ya been...

Sam is gone, along with a lot of members cash. Everyone uses a SCT now.

 

I guess ive been gone for awhile too. Please update me. He packed up and took off ? No one can find him or bring his ass to court?

 

a pcm for which truck?

 

Durango 2000. But don't I have to get a wideband, new injectors (cause they'd be phasing out my kenne bell auxlliary inj's) and then get the sct package. $1k ? Well, if sam's bad, what about tom fox? He was supposedly better than B&G (which I had used last time)

 

Well if you are running a blower without a wide band and datalogging your PCM vitals, I believe that to be a BIG mistake in itself.

SCT, injectors and map sensor is the correct way to tune it. Tom cant tune for a boosted application unless you stick with your KB band aid setup.

It seems the money spent on the SCT setup is cheaper than a motor?

I did have it tuned and dynoed by a professional. I had the smt6 (piggyback) tuner installed instead of the optimizer. I believe he installed a wide band type map sensor thing (originally, the computer couldn't understand what was going on when i got into boost and the optimizer wasn't correctly designed for that...hence the fallout, leading to no more kenne bells for our trucks) But anyways, I agree that sct is the stuff right now. I just can't lay down the cake. Anyways, one of the problems seems to have been a death flash on my oem pcm (I had re-installed it a month ago after an incorrectly connected msd tach adapter fried my B&G flashed one. (It wouldn't turn over until I stuck the oem pcm in) But it was running crappy. So now I just installed a remanufactured (But unflashed) one tonight and it seems to be running better. Not better than the b&G flashed one but noticeably better than the oem. MAYBE that oem was death flashed

 

floptimizer. Ditch all of that bypass piggyback boocheddah, run main injectors, loose the secondaries, and have sct do the tuning. Without a windeband, was white mentioned, you are gambling with your motor. A wideband is necessary, you can log the necessary sensors, be safe, rather than sorry! Sct w/ a wideband and datalogging will give your face a broad smile!

 

What he said.

On my NA build, B&G flashed my PCM three times, never did get it right...450.00 original cost, plus 250.00 x 2...Add it up, and was still wrong.

Hemifever tuning with a SCT and using my datalogs damn near nailed it first try. And all the revisions since are free.

Gotta data log, no way around it.

 

Well maybe, but I've only got 27# injectors right now (I seem to see people getting huge ones...inthe 60s) $350-500 Then I'd need that LM2 setup or something $350-500 then the sct $350 if I'm lucky lastly... what about check engine lights (I gotta pass ct emmissions) I remember looking into the f.a.s.t. setup but kept on reading about cels (I can't handle dodging the authorities any more)

 

:deadhorse: Just buy an SCT...please...

 

hey, I want to get my pcm flashed by tom fox. I got 714-639-5220

That should be the right number for Tom. At least, it was at one time. I haven't called him in years.

As others have said, for the price of a custom flash, you'd be better off with SCT, because you can always retune it for future mods.

 

OK Guys, I'll start researching the datalogger thread and maybe try to find the size injectors I should use. Next question... If I DO have a death flash on my oem pcm, should THAT be the one I use for the SCT tune (Thereby saving the remanufactured one)

 

I've been absent for many moons. Sad to learn of these events.
