Wester's computer programming The Wester's tuning has been BIG with the truck guys so I figured I'd carry it over to the f-body also. Average gains have been in the 20+ horsepower range plus you get a lifetime of FREE updates for all future mods ($45 shipping and handling fee). You won't have to worry about vehicle downtime because they will send you your update first. Then you can do the swap and send the old program back. On top of that Wester's will provide you with a lifetime warranty, they will send you a new program for free if yours is over written when the car goes in for service and finally you get a lifetime full price paid credit toward your next custom tune for your next vehicle ($45 shipping and handling fee). Now that I have listed all of the benefits... this is what they can do for programing -
Wester’s Performance Tuning options
1) 85 Octane high altitude tune
2) Dual 87-91 Octane tune (will automatically adjusts for octane)
3) Dual 89-93 Octane tune (will automatically adjusts for octane)
4) 91 Octane HOT tune (much more aggressive than the Dual octane tune)
(Recommended for performance vehicles where higher than 91 octane fuel isn’t available, like California.)
5) 93 Octane HOT tune (much more aggressive than the Dual octane tune)
(Recommended for performance vehicles.)
Wester's can custom tune any of the basic program tunes to your specific requirements and desires.
The new 87/91 and 89/93 dual fuel tunes will be able to run with 87 or 89 octane in MOST conditions with good performance, or with 89, 91 or 93 when even more performance is wanted. The dual octane tunes are capable of tuning for a higher octane. The factory tune will only advance the timing to the limits set in the original spark tables. Changing between 87 or 89 octane and 91 or 93 is automatic, the tuning will adjust itself for the octane you are using by referencing another spark table.
Under MOST conditions, all the tunes will run fine with the octane programmed for, but altitude, towing, load, condition of the engine, temperature, poor fuel quality, oxygenated fuels, or sensor variations may require choosing a higher octane. Just be aware that under certain conditions a higher octane fuel may be required, and that more performance and sometimes better fuel mileage is available just by using higher octane.
Speedometer calibration for tire diameter. Most assume that a tire within a specific catalog size is the same rolling diameter between manufacturer. However, diameter may actually vary, causing your speedometer to read incorrectly. If you have replaced your tires, do a rollout test or at least measure the loaded diameter of the tire to determine a true circumference. This will assure that your speedometer will get the correct calibration and will indicate your actual speed. Note that over the lifetime of a ‘truck tire’ (some tires start with as much as 17/32’s initial tread) the OD can change by up to 1 inch as they wear. We will calibrate the speedometer to your exact tire specifications, at least within the factory tolerance of the GM speedometer unit.
Standard with all performance tunes
Complete reflash of the PCM to your VIN, with all factory updates.
Dyno developed performance tune optimized for your exact engine and transmission combination.
Raised and optimized shift points
Firm, but not harsh shifts
Elimination of all torque management that can be safely removed
Some of the more common modifications to ask for-
Raising the top speed limiter to any speed you specify (as needed)
Specifying the exact shift points you want in every gear
Firmer (or softer) shifts.
Specific tuning for your modifications, like larger than stock tires, gear ratio change, aftermarket MAF sensor, supercharger, headers, cam change, engine modifications, etc.
Some of the info above is used only for trucks Performance cars usually just say with the high octane settings. The regular price for this programming is $495.99. We have a group purchase price that will save you 20% - $395.99. 10 or more orders are required and we already have 21 in so this GP is a go!
PCM cores -
You will need to send your factory PCM into Wester's after you install the new computer. We will do a "core authorization" on your card to cover this computer until it is returned. The authorization won't be an actual charge, but it will hold the money for us in case the core isn't returned.
The core charge is -
1998-'02 - $175.
This authorization will be voided after your core is returned.
We will need to fax or e-mail a form to you so all of your vehicle's info can be entered. This can either be sent to you ahead of time or after you place your order with us. More info can be found in the Ignition and Group Purchase section of our website.
This will be ending on Friday (2/20).
Have a good weekend!
