My Review of S&B Tuning

[DETROITMUSCLE]

Regardless, Steve's got a lot of experience with tuning and I'm sure he wouldn't set it to something that he wasn't confident would be OK.

Collins had lot of tuning experience as well and we all know how that went. I would not settle for anything your not comfortbale with on your car, be picky IMO.

Point well made. Not saying it's not OK to be picky, but I'm also saying that I wouldn't hesitate to take my car to Steve.

How much $$ for the tuning? What did he use, HPTuners? I'll need to have my sixxer tuned once it gets blown.

The skip-shift eliminator, right?

Yes!

It's just a safety thing B.
Never hurts to have it set no matter what trans you have.

stock cam won't make power anywhere near 6400. 6200 is plenty .
30.5 should be OK . Most ls1's(h/c, strokers) like 28-29.
The narrow band o2 is what scares me. 02 readings change with age. No way to really check the accuracy of one. widebands normally have a self cal and get checked with Butane to check the sensor

Dont take me posting the wrong way I know Steve knows his shit I just have a few things Im worried about and wanted to get everyone elses opinion on what I should have changed at the m&g

Should the car have been put on wideband? btw I paid 275 for my tune

oh yeah, no problems wasn't taking it otherwise. I've seen the thread on LS1Tech and they're a bunch of know-it-alls on there that instantly think everyone else doesn't know anything.

Go back and read Joels post its a very good description of the whole issue.

Rev limiter is very important on a manual car. If you are shifting at 5k, and miss your shift when power shifting, it gets to 6200 FAST. If the rev limiter wasn't there, who knows how high it would spin.

Ya I know theres alot like that on there thats why I didnt post the thread from Ls1tech here

1. I am slightly worried about the narrowband Frost on Ls1tech has a good rep as a tuner and he was concerned about it which worried me so thats why I restarted this thread to get some better input

2. I would rather have the limiter at 6200 I really see no point of going any higher with the stock cam

3. Timing Im also torn on if my engine is making anymore power at 30.5* vs say 28* any of you been to the dyno to see?

Im more concerned with the narrowband at this point im having my rev limiter moved down to 6200 to be a little on the safer side

Rev limiter wont even stop it if you miss a shift bad...

If you do the 2-3-2 shift it wont help at all lol

Try asking these questions on the HPTuners forum. There are a lot of people that know whats up on there.
