Default Tune for Procharged LS1 in DFW?

Hey guys,

I'm going to be finishing up my Procharger project here shortly, and I dunno where I should get it tuned. Who around here has a lot of proven experience with forced induction LSx engines? RPM? LG? SQR? Someone else?

You can't go wrong with any of those three.

My personal opinion is SQR.
As I have seen them tune and work on many P1,D1, and F1 cars.

Pretty sure all about nitrous and forced induction. I have a lifetime tune there. No problems with them at all

I called SQR, and their initial response was that I'd have to get an SD tune. I've seen some people running quite a bit of boost with a MAF tune... what do you guys think?

Well i think that you should go sit down and have a talk with them. Those guys sure know their stuff so you might want to hear the reasons behind their answer.

+1 on that. If you go in, they will take the time to talk to you and explain things.

Mmorrison was running a SQR SD tune on his NA daily driver. He was putting down some good numbers and running good ET's for what it was.

+1 Daniel is very busy.. I never had a problem with Daniels work on my car. I used to bring my car up from Waco all the time. He did my original tune on my car. I have a D1 setup. He has done LOTS of procharger setups.

sd is the only way to go with boost IMO.

I even prefer sd in n/a cars because you are elminating sensors that can go bad.

My concern is that I've heard SD tunes need adjustment in drastic weather changes (humidity, temp, and barrometric pressure). I don't want to have to worry about this. I'll talk to SQR about it, though. I'm no expert. I just see a lot of similar setups running MAF tunes, and from what little I know, that sounds more like what I want.

One answer, SNL Performance. Give Steve a call and he will hook you up. Tell him that I told you to call. He tunes with HP Tuners and will dyno tune or road tune (What I went with) and he backs up all his work.

Suite 107, Haslet Texas, 76052

Phone: 817-750-2000

If I tune mine for hot weather then the weather turns to 30 degrees for example it can run a little lean do to the better air.

I just tune it a little rich & never worry about it. I run a wb full time & just look at it every once in a while to make sure it's not way lean.

It all depends on the MAF and if you max it out or not. My little 4.8 has a MAF tune for the whipple and still has some range left, the 427 on the other hand is getting a 3 bar OS.
Been using RPM for a while, no problems.

You can't go wrong with SQR! And you'll be waiting a while for that call back. You should just go up there and talk with the them.
