Question bout the SCT XC2 on the LS

Quik LS said:
he has a PCM code we got from a 2000 Europe intended LS, which starts in 1st.

But that PCM code is not a universal swap to everyone's pre-03.

We still have not found the 'switch' for the SST in 1st for all pre-03s

Bummer. I wasted my cool motor run last time at the track because I moved over to the SST to late and did a 5k 1-2 shift, Still hit a 15.215, on 20s. 15.041 right after getting there hot.

The "auto-stick" I have has an actual

Instead of the little "joystick" with the simple +/- which is really sweet. Other than that...I'm not sure their would be a performance difference...would there?

Ohh, I always viewed the SST as a auto stick. Can't say for sure how the two compare. Is you set-up going to shift firmer like the SST and the SST is just a fancier shifter? Or is ther more to the SST shifting? Good question.

I've been rolling around with XCal2 for a couple days now and here are the observations I have made with both files Perf1 +2 and Perf1 +4. I'm waiting for feedback from Torrie, but I just wanna know if what I am experiencing is both "normal" and/or adjustable.

Pros:

- No ping at all thus far, regardless of tune.

- In D4/D5 I spin much harder off the line than I did before.

- I kept up in the 1/4 mile (using auto-stick and shifting right at about 6200 rpms) with my buddies '89 foxbody 'stang with headers, intake, and exhaust. I didn't get a chance to run him in D4 or D5 but I can't imagine being able to run much faster than I did.

- When I use the auto-stick and downshift into say 2nd from a 45-50 mph roll and floor it I get awesome throttle response and a noticeable difference in acceleration...

- The shifts are smooth when driving normal

Cons:

- In D4/D5 OR when using auto-stick at WOT the shifts are much harder, almost no matter where the car shifts at. And I mean MUCH harder, almost to the point that I worry if this is going to cause trannie damage...What can I do to adjust this? Did anyone else have this problem with their tunes?

- My MPG went from around 16.0 to 12.7 in one day (this may have been caused by my "experimenting" with the tunes but also due to adjustments to a/f ratios)

- My car accelerates very slow from a roll in almost every gear, in fact MUCH slower than it did pre-flasher. If I just hit the gas at about 2-3k rpms it hardly "lunges" forward, even with the perf1 +4 tune. It isn't until after 4000 rpms that the power really kicks in. As with the shifting I have the same questions. Can I adjust this? Did anyone else have this problem with their tunes?

Like I said, I'm waiting on a response from Torrie, I just thought I'd ask you guys as well...

By any chance have you gone tried reflashing back to stock yet? If so, does it remove the "cons" you mention, along with the "pros"? I know it should, just wondering what your experience is?

I was planning on doing so tomorrow. Then I'm going to get some 93 octane gas with nos octane booster and program the perf1 +4 tune. I'm going to lower the tire pressure and take this baby down to the races. There won't be any times...but I may have videos and definitely some stories.

No times, street racing?

Yes...tomorrow night. I have a couple races lined up. The place is actually pretty safe...two lanes...a stoplight that ensures perfect "go on green"...and it is about 1/2 mile along side a park in the middle of Minneapolis. Never seen a cop the last 3 weekends I've gone out there. I'm not big on street racing my LS but I've got to prove something tomorrow.

SST = auto-stick.

the regular shifter is just the standard automatic shifter.
 
Well I've got ram air intake, KKM filter, custom cat-back exhaust w/ 40 series flowmasters, and now the SCT tune which is said to give 11 rwhp. That will have me at an estimated 285 hp. Ur probably right...

So is that what I have to call mine?! The "standard automatic shifter"? Can I at least call it the "auto-shifter"?! lol!

I'm hoping for low 14s...Quik...what did you run w/o nos at the track?
Click to expand...

my best was 14.782 @ 98.02

low 14's without any power adder - not likely.

Well thanks for bringing me down to earth before I had my hopes shattered at the track! lol! I also have a mark to beat......14.782....hehe...not likely...

Didn't that other LS run a 14.5 or something less? I suppose that was the LS that comes with more HP though right? Isn't it like 280?
 
Call it what you like its your car. Hehe.

I don't remember seing any 14 second n/a 00-02s, could be wrong, I've only been on here 5 months. I hoping to hit a 14.99 on the 20s, 14.850 on the stockers, and 14.699 with a tune. My MarkVIII just threw the #6 spark plug out of the motor, so that may slow the LSE racing for a little bit as its the daily driver again.

Your on the 3.31 rear, right?

GenIIs can hit it, rocket5979 hit a 14.3something @ 98something, saw it with my own eyes in my rear view, I was in the return lane. The video is posted.

I wish I had a scanner. My fiance does, but that is 2 hours away. I will post all the information for the fastest run though.


R/T........198
60'.........2.301
330'.......6.309
1/8........9.519
MPH.......77.46
1000......12.249
1/4........14.547
MPH.......97.78

God the 60' SUCKED!!! Oh well, just proof that these vehicles only like to rev.
Click to expand...

Still impressive...I saw it to. I have 3.31s and I was thinking of upgrading to the 3.58s...I just have to find a good set. I all ready found a spare housing.
 
Raced next to him a few times, can 60' right with em, then just slowly but smoothly pulls away about 1-1/2 cars. I hurt my foot trying to catch him.
 
So I e-mailed the questions above to Torrie along with an expression of my dissapointment thusfar. To be honest, I never even stated I was dissapointed, I stated several times that it was too early to tell and that I just wanted his expertise before I bad mouth his work. He snapped off and demanded I refund the device. Here are two experts from our e-mail coversation:

Me:

"I'm not be any means trying to badmouth your product or your tunes; honestly
I just don't know enough and if I was forced to say right now I'd say no, I
didn't get $400 worth of performance and this would obviously be bad for
your business and I don't want that, there are too few people trying to help
out LS owners and I definitely appreciation your contributions. This is
just my opinion but I'm sure - I hope - you want your customer to appreciate
and understand your hardwork and expertise in tuning and I want to be one of
those satisfied customers that can help you spread your business. As of now
not only have I not had enough time to experiment, I also feel I've not been
educated on the product enough, and therefore not able yet to determine what
the difference is other than the negatives I all ready mentioned. I was
hoping you could help me in feeling for differences in other areas than in
shifting."

Here is Torrie's direct response:
"Right and also if you have issue with my files I want you to flash your
vehicle back to stock right now and ship the flasher back to me for a full
refund if you are not satisfied"

Later on..

"I don’t know what to say at this point and you are the first unhappy
customer for whatever reason that may be. Their may be other mechanical
issues with your vehicle that I do not know about. But I can gauge buy your
claims that the likely hood that I can succeed here is about 0. Flash your
car back to stock. Send the flasher back to me as you received it and I will
refund your money."

Torrie did not answer one of my questions. Today we sent some more e-mails back and forth in which he stated I could hook a laptop up to my car and log the data and that is the ONLY way for him to determine what is wrong. He absolutely refuses to believe his tunes could be faulty, and abolutely refuses to say what it is he actually does.

Just be warned, if you're not 100% happy with the tunes, don't expect any help...
