BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 I am going to have Pacsetter LT's, Corsa Sport, Zippy Shift Kit, and a TBTC installed in a month, and want to know if I should get a pcm tune afterwards. I am planning on buying some other mods in the future, but it wont be the near future. Should I wait untill then, or just go ahead and get the tune after I get my recent mods installed?
drako Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 get a re tune , and while your at it might as well get a 160* thermostat

CaliChevyV8 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Get it dyno tuned. Take advantage of your mods.
BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 I am in Boynton Beach and have no clue were I will be getting it done. I have to find that out. And why would I get a T stat. I thought you would need those if you live up north in cold temps.
fox_forma Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Your in florida so a 160 stat would be a wise choice, this way your timing can be bumper up when you get a tune as well.
BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 I already bought a B&M 70274 Trans cooler, so I dont see why I would need a thermostat. Can someone explain what a 160 stat does. I haven't got a clue.
BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Posted October 3, 2006 and also, if any1 knows were a good dyno tuner is in south florida, I would like to know.
kaotik1 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 With all those minor mods, you will need a tune. There is no question about that, it will make the most of what you are doing, and later down the line just get it re-tuned for the other mods.

I thought you would need those if you live up north in cold temps. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> seriously? transmission temperature has nothing to do with engine operating temp. installing a transmission cooler isn't going to affect your engine temps. installing a 160 degree thermostat versus the factory 180 or 195 degree thermostat allows the engine to run cooler. cooler means more power. means you can throw more timing at it. more power means
BlackSS04 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 Ok I see now, Thanks for the info. What is the best T stat to get and were can I purchase one?

BlackSS04 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 yeah, the thingy majigy, temp gauge timesenseroverload nixsupersport <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didnt quite get ya there
fox_forma Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 just go to autozone and see if they have a 160 thermostat in stock for you, shouldnt cost much at all since you dont need the full housing like the 03's did.
BlackSS04 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Posted October 4, 2006 So can I just get the 04 T Stat at T Bryne?
