semoSS Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 that aint no shit guys, i put that hypertech on there and it didn't help that much, it did but not as much as i expected, man, i had jimmy voyles tune mine with hptuners and my god what a difference, i have 0% torque management aka need new tc aka will need a rebuilt aka more money will be spent because i have a hard time stopping myself from hitting that little magic button.

pimp ss Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 yeah he used hp tuners on mine too and i now have 0% torque managment he said it would be bad for a stock transmission but we still have 9,000 miles left on the warranty and he said it would not be a problem to reflash it to go to the dealership it is definitly a different truck than i was driving last night i am very happy thanks again for telling me about him justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semoSS Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) wow, that's alot to be running on a stock motor, i've been doing a lot of reading and researching on nitrous for the lq9s, and i've had members here tell me the exact same things, need a bigger fuel pump for over 100 shot, retarded timing, tips with the heads to keep their life, colder plugs, etc.. nitrous might be cheap horsepower but its a helluva cost in the end.. i plan to have a nitrous built motor next summer... running a good projected 300-400 shot 100 shot dropped me half a second but it's been really humid with temps always at 105-112 with my tc messing up ive got some new track rims and tires on the truck now, got some boss 20" 307's wrapped in 275/45s is he running dry or wet??

Fireman31 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 hey one of the guys from around dfw has a stock motor in his red SSS and is running a 200 shot he won't be running 200 shot for long.......that big of a shot wil grenade a stock motor an LQ9 can take 100-125 shot and be okay (as posted by someone a while back, Mr. P.?) There is a world of difference between handheld programmers and dyno/PCM tuning. I originally had a Hypertech, but it was too mild for my taste. My SSS hauls @ss now with my Wheatley tuned PCM. I only removed 50% of the TM, I don't want to kill my trans too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I have a Zippy tune but I am going to have Michael and Justins tuner log my runs next weekednd at the GTG so we can tweak/fine tune it some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock LQ9/LQ4 high-silicone cast pistons will not take that for long; whether sprayed or blown once you get in the 550-hp area the top ring land breaks. This is of course assuming *perfect* tune (no detonation). Forged pistons, well that's a whole different animal. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm anxious to see what it'll do with a good tune. I may actually run mine to get a good stock baseline. I want to get tuning software to log and tune myself.

I may actually run mine to get a good stock baseline. I want to get tuning software to log and tune myself. I was thinking of doing the same, reflashing my PCM with the original OS image and running it just for comparison. HEY PIMP - sounds like we need to get that servo in Start saving $$$ for a shift kit too! Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
