Default Looking for some tuning help

2002 ws6
5/8 headers
Pro charger D8 kit
84lb injectors

So I bought the car had the kit installed and tune as a package.


I'm getting a lot of backfiring. Accelerates great but on cruise speeds or slow down it just pops like crazy.

Any help will be appreciated

What software tuning software was used go in the forum and sign up. if its hp tuners good luck with getting answers alot of A Holes on there with no help, if u dont have the tuning software to adjust tune ur wasting ur time, but if u do start googling tell ur eyes fall out because forum members expect you to do your homework as they did, been there done that. i got more answers and what parameter to adjust then any suggestions from a member. ur solution is out there just have to search. And make sure you rule out mechanical first or your just going to waste time and money.
if none of this applies go back to ur tuner and expect to pay more.

if their not stand up guys. Tuning takes time and time is money to these shops especially if there not formal with drivability tuning. Which is a whole different ball game then WOT. Hope this helps

I'd recommend considering a remote tuner like Pat G. for a good drivability tune.
Pat takes scans from the car during real world driving and makes changes, so you get the drivability you want.
