Default Tuning by Jesse Bubb???

well, ive heard good things about him. But, it takes forever to get an email response from him (i actually think its his wife).

i ask basic questions but no answers. i guess that it's common for people to buy a new pcm that he has tuned, but i just simply want to send mine to him and have him tune it and send it back. i just cant get the info on how to do this.

anyone know of a better way to contact him? i asked for a phone #, but, no response....

Sorry, i get very busy-behind. I try to answer all the emails and phone calls, but also need to get the tunes out that people order. Im always about 4 days behind in shipping out everything. I personally answer 90% of the phone calls each day to answer peoples questions. Emails are usually last priority as phone calls are always top.

thanks jes

with 17% loss, youve got about 410hp right?

or youve only got 400hp if you figure it with 15% loss through the drivetrain...
what was your ave AF ratio?

that 09 put down some impressive numbers. pushing 615-620hp!

i dont see any numbers on the af graph. assuming 10:1 is the bottom line, i wouldnt want to go any leaner than where your at now. looks like you get down into the 12s and mid-high 11s after 6000rpm, but i would not consider that rich by any means.....

yeah, that af ratio looks fine. gets a little rich (about stock af) after 6500, but i wouldnt mess with it myself because i dont ever rev past that. rarely past 6000.

After I talked with Jesse and my mechanics @ QMS, both agree AF seems too rich.
I have emailed Jesse the charts and now I await for his response after Jesse looks at the charts....

Same rich issue here. Changed my stock plugs for the recommended NGK's. Trying to get another A/F reading. I was peaking at 11.7-11.9. Leaving some hp on the table.

lemme know what he says. i wouldn't want to go any leaner than 13:1. i may just be a puss though...

so i dont think id have him mess with anything below 5700rpm. you may get a little more power from 5700 on up.

BacDoc, you will definitely pick up some ponies after you get leaned out a bit.

Jesse told me that the AF should be @ 12.5
My AF with W4M PCM pretty much higher than 12.8 until 6k rpm

I still waiting for Jesse to respond to my emails.....

You know he can send out a refurbed tuned PCM just as cheap. LS6 is $160 and you get to keep your stock PCM, just in case. And no down time.
