Westers GXP Tune

[BLK GXP]

I believe RPI also has a tune for the GXP. They get more talk on the Sky forum. I think they have a Sky in house at RPI.

I think you would be in the 260 -270 range on a stock car, maybe a little more with the tune, and by the way you may have bypassed the stock BOV but if you bypassed the stock wastegate your car would either not run or blow up. The wastegate is under the turbo. We will hopefully have new dyno results next weekend, I figure around 290 at the rear wheels on my car. That would be about 350 bhp.

After my runs tonight against my buddies C6 (LS2) I feel like 310 bhp....what fun.

Yea I meant bov not wastegate. But the stock thingy is more of a thingy than an actual bov anyway.

You're correct, that isn't called a BOV, it is a surge valve. Hahn is currently developing a BOV and blankoff plate for the GXP/Redline

I think I see a meth kit arriving very soon to the goat residence

Holy smoke, this thing is so complicated I can't even figure out how to order. The Wester page says go to the NASSOA page for discount info, but I can't find anytrhing there. What am I missing?

Thanks!

[Cheers]

If you are a member, login and the Westers info will come right up. The order form is under Member Documents. If you are still having problem PM me.

Cheers,

Thanks. I just sent in my membership yesterday.

No envy, I really like the sons GTO, it's fun working on it with him. My Harley is faster than his so I'm OK. If we find a local track we like, then maybe the meth will become reality.

This is meant to be constructive and not critical, but I have to agree. You kinda have to weed your way through a minefield at NASSOA to figure out how to just join and then you find out you can pay by PayPal but you still have to send in the application form via snail mail (at least that's the way it appears on the site). Then when you go to order the Wester's tune, you have to send your ECM using a very specific shipping method or it could be delayed as much as a week... and you can't drive your car while it's gone because it has no ECM. You could buy a new ECM but you have to get it from the dealer and still ship it to Westers (the same specific shipping method), wait for it to get there, wait for him to tune it, and then wait for it to be shipped back. Then when you get it back, you have to do a security relearn (I guess you have to look that up) and/or a crank relearn.

My suggestion is for you guys to come together and simplify this whole process. When you go to the NASSOA web site, there should be a prominent "purchase membership" link right on the front page. You go there, pick your membership type, fill out the form online, do a secure credit card payment and you're done. In fact, one of the purchase options should be "Join NASSOA and order the Westers Tune". That way you can make one purchase and all is done. Lyndon should have some ECM's on hand or be able to buy them for you, so if you want the option where you get a second ECM with the tune installed, all you do is check that box on the purchase form, fill out a few more details about your car (needed for the tune) and Lyndon can take an ECM from his own stock or have one shipped via fast shipping directly to him (cuts out the customer having to be the middle man here). And when the package arrives, have it arrive with instructions on exactly what needs to be done (security relearn and the process to use a DashHawk to do the crank relearn if people have access to a DashHawk, etc.)

I bet you both (NASSOA and Westers) would get OODLES more orders this way! You gotta make it simple for people. I'm an online merchant myself and if you put people through the ringer making them join a group to get a discount, then log back on to look up addresses, go to dealers to buy ECM's, pack up stuff, send it to Canada, wait 2 weeks, and then get something back, you'll lose customers. You might not lose me because I put a high priority on power, but I bet you lose a lot of people that way. You'd be surprised how just very subtle changes to your order page will turn people away. Some people like me are fanatics for power, but you've got to cater to people who are on the fence and just don't put that high a priority on it. You'll lose them: they'll fall off on the other side of the fence and just say, "this rigamarole just isn't worth it. My car's fast enough."

I do agree the whole process could use improving.
