Default Tuning with Vinci VHP tuner and Vararam

Hey guys,
I just purchased a vararam intake for my auto 2000 C5 corvette along with a VINCI VHP TUNER. I also have a Tbryne MAF ends, larger air bridge, and smooth air bellow. I was wondering how i should tune my car now with the Vinci tuner. I heard Vararam leans out the car alot, along with the Tbryne MAF ends and air bridge, but i also hear that the computer fixes the air/fuel ratio accordingly and its the knock that robs the horsepower. Can i fix this problem with the Vinci tuner by adding fuel or timing?

PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM LOST!!!! Any information will do me good. I just need to know exactly what to do with my Vinci according to the mods i have.

Thanks Alot guys

Clay, call Roger at VHP 407-478-8388 and he can walk you through the setup. I have an 04 C5 A4 with mods in sig and ended up with cam selection #4, -10% timing and -10% enrichment. Try one change at a time and drive the car for a period before you make another change.

start off with the hiperf/stock cam setting as see how it does. if you have a datalogger and wideband, do some driving around and see what you get. if you have some time to get on a dyno, then tune it on the dyno. you can add/subtract fuel/timing to any of the preset tunes and stock tune.

start off as mrr23 stated with hiperf/stock cam setting, then lean out -5% and keep timing at stock. Drive it and make one change at a time

without being on a dyno or having a wideband and datalogger, you just have to try one thing at a time until you fell the best results.

Hey guys, I just picked up the vinci tuner today and i'm wondering if its a good idea to take some fuel away with the enrichment level considering the mods i have. I have heard that long tubes will make your car run rich. Is this true?

hey mrr23, Do you still use this tuner with the mods you have?
