Extremely dissapointed....

[conekiller01]

Well i finally went to run my truck tonight at prairie hill i know not the best track but im sure still accurate....time slip is as follows

.269 Reaction
2.45 60'
10.33 1/8th
69.48 Mph
15.94 1/4
88.7 Mph

this thing feels like im pulling pluto out of the hole and doesnt wanna move till i get to the eighth then it opens up pretty good...i just got my new tune in today for the longtubes and ORY and the shifts feel like poo and just sluggish down low....is this normal with long tubes or did i do something wrong or is it a tuning issue should i call allen? any help would be appreciated.


BTW i saw casey out there.....it looks like a jet turbine on the back of that thing!! watch out guys that thing is nasty fast!!!!

It's "in" the tune, but not in a bad way. It's gotta go through the few hundred mile break in before you'll feel it really come alive again, no worries, just give it some time.

bro it was a HOT & humid night down here in evadale and i am sure it was hot there, anyway, i was off .3 .4 tenths, with a heavy dew point. the later it got the worse it got, for your mods that isnt really bad at all. let the dry air hit and coolness and you'll feel the difference, its only getting hot as summer months approach.

will you be the one to explain this to me? starting to hear this alot here about a tune needing hundred miles for break in.when i got my tune from allen and a few others i was never told it had to have a break in period of driving.

I was watching HPTV the other day and they had an LS1 on an engine dyno. After replacing the PCM (with one that had a different tune) they said the engine ran better each time they tested it. Mentioned something about the computer and engine getting "better acquainted"...that's about as technical as they got but it's the same theory...I don't understand exactly how it works either...smoke and mirrors to me...

well the 'tuner' is like a teacher when he's tuning the truck he's teaching the computer watz goin on u kno so then its up to the computer to learn it all n it takes several miles bcuz its kinda slow at learning haha but yea thats the deal with that

I'm with Skeet on this one! I have NEVER heard of a tune needed some time to work out! That's a tuners excuse??? Very Funny one if it is!! Too me he got HEAT STROKED it don't only happen to the Lightnings But I quess if you heard it at HPTV they might Know something Skeet, myself or my tuner don't know for that matter!!

Dude the guy asked for reasons that his truck ran slow, so I gave him one. I've heard it and been told it by many others on this site! I dont need to get flamed for responding to a post...you got all the answers why isn't it ssthis.com. I was told by people who work for nelson to "wait" for it to kick in, so I'm guessing you mean hes a bad tuner who makes excuses?

I personally think a Lightning driver with sig "ssthis" is not going to know anything about how a chevrolet computer works. Comments like that should be kept to himself.

Tunes do need a little time to "learn the engine"

The computer will synce up better the longer its run
and make more power and run better.


and yep, 4.10 gears will give you the off the line acceleration you're missing.
