Ok, I will now fess up. I have the Westers Tune and the biggest problem I have is: I can not stop driving this car. This is just so much darn fun. For no reason at all and the middle of nowhere, I floor it and bam! you are pushed back into your seat.

I remember tweety, when he first left the forum for the porsche, cause it did not push him back into the seat when he hit it, well tweety, drive a gxp with the westers tune and get ready for a ride on a rocket.

I always thought people were exagerating, I mean how much could a tune do anyway? Well if you have a GXP, call Westers and just do it.

I promise you will just think, this could not have really done this much, floor it, and see if you do not chicken out in 5 seconds and let up on the gas pedal. You will be going really fast when you do.

I can not get the smile off my face. And add to that the solo mach exhaust and the hi flow cat, and you get a sound that goes with the speed.

Chuck

where the improvement is vs rpm etc. Anyone???

Sure is that all you want to see?

RPM
Which MAF? Frequency?

AFR or EQ? and Commanded vs Actual?

That would only be 4 so Boost/Vac and one other?

BTF might need this tune to release some of the nanny issues hes having.
Thats what people on the Saab forum are doing with thier 2.8 Turbo and a smilar motronic ECU.

Buy a canned tune to get rid of the nanny controls and then tune by hand for aftermarket stuff.

I understand from a different forum that the RSA keys are a real pain

Here are my drag times with the westers tune on a bone stock car. I am number 545. The 14.2 run was because I hit traction control and it screwed me up.

today i got a 13.51 at the 1/4 mile. I'm not stock but then again, I was really babying the car, and shifting normally.......and on the crappy stock tires.

I really think that with slicks and a more aggressive (better) driver, very low 13's are within reach with my setup with wester's tune.

I have video of my runs both in car and from the stands, as well as pictures of the slips which I'll post when I'm not exhausted, ha. Hopefully get those up sometime this weekend.....

New Dyno to come hopefully this week.

Well numbers usually do not lie, and in both cases the actual BHP of the car is about 252 - 255 BHP and not RWHP.
I agree if the car had some drag radials or sleeks and a good driver it should be a little lower.
I see a lot of Dynos etc with big RWHP numbers, that translate in the 300 + BHP.
Well folks if you have that much BHP on a car that only weights 3080 with a driver, you should be posting 12's numbers.
Let me give you an example 320 BHP on a car weight of 3080, your 1/4 mile number should be about 12.3 - 12.4 and around 110 MPH.
The above numbers are with sleeks or drag radials, with some good sticky tires probably in the 12.8's.
You can all post BIG Dyno numbers but the proof of such numbers are in the Drag strip, otherwise is just make me feel good numbers.
