BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share 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?

CaliChevyV8 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Get it dyno tuned. Take advantage of your mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_forma Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSS04 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) 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. Edited October 3, 2006 by BlackSS04 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaotik1 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_forma Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
