I went from 14.2 to 13.4 with just a tune in the Flex... added the methanol and dropped down to 12.7...

Do you need a turbo or sc for a tune, or can a normally aspirated motor get a tune?

I have seen these Taruses run quick as heck w/a few mods!!! Nothing to take lightly.

Just look at scrmngs brick......embarasses V8's all day long.

DI motors keep surprising all.

60's really? I hope I'm still into this sport when I get that age! My wife would probably shake her head just like she does now. She may not understand why I like cars, but she supports me no matter what.

My wife shakes her head at me too but I told her this is my thing just like the mall is her thing

You can get a tune but it won't do much on a stock motor nowadays, power wise at least. Really woke up my Auto SS though, shifts with very little lag, still there obviously but it's a huge improvement over stock.

No hurt nobody felling just some funny SPACK TALK. Here the #'s I got from MotorTrend
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE BASE PRICE $33,535 PRICE AS TESTED $37,035 VEHICLE LAYOUT Front engine, RWD, 4-pass, 2-door coupe ENGINE 6.2L/426-hp/420-lb-ft OHV 16-valve V-8 TRANSMISSION 6-speed manual CURB WEIGHT (F/R DIST) 3860 lb (53/47%) WHEELBASE 112.3 in LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT 190.4 x 75.5 x 54.2 in 0-60 MPH 4.3 sec QUARTER MILE 12.7 sec @ 111.8 mph BRAKING, 60-0 MPH 101 ft LATERAL ACCELERATION 1.03 g (avg) MT FIGURE EIGHT 24.2 sec @ 0.83 g (avg) EPA CITY/HWY FUEL ECON 16/24 mpg ENERGY CONS., CITY/HWY 211/140 kW-hrs/100 miles CO2 EMISSIONS 1.03 lb/mile

With the LMS(Livernois Motor sport) Tune(they do Camaro to) Ariaid CAI,Dynomax 2 1/4 mufflers(SHO stock are 2 1/4,DynMax just sound good no pwr add) That's Tune only for me. That 440hp/410flb car is at the track 1/4 tank 4165lb so that makes me 20 hp more and 300lb heavier. At 95deg I'm running 13.0sec 1/4mi.

AT 59deg 12.6sec



With METH Injection EcoBoost are making 480hp

Any n/a motor that uses an ECM to control timing, afr, etc can benefit from a "tune".

No hurt feelings here. I forgot the OP, SHO has some mods. I'm talking bone stock, I know I'll beat a bone stock SHO. The #'s don't lie. Once you start modding, of course, you up the chances of beating something that was faster than you stock. I wonder if the SHO that revved up beside me at a light that day was stock or modded. If my kid wasn't in the back...

[2012 Mustang GT]

OP Camaro is modded too. Stock for Stock i think it will be close for the SHO vs a L99. The LS3 if the driver can launch then the SHO should lose easily stock

[Sweet Zness]

Raced a friend of a friends blacked out Taurus AWD from a roll. Supposedly he was running only a tune. Ran him in the G8 close for a bit, pulled him pretty good up top.

The G8 was tuned only, by SCT. Stock everything including original paper filter.

Here's a graph of the power my G8 was putting down. That's the power with the "regular" tune. This day I was running the 93 hard tune. Torque management dialed way down, shift points changed and rev limiter raised. I dunno. I think getting that kind of speed, which I don't doubt you can, you might be running something else.

[shoman04]

Bone stock w/93oct my car dyno at 297hp & 300flb. and that w/AWD lose. Sorry about the quality(my youngest 20yr old drop the camera never work right after). This Z & and other were made to look bad by me and a stock G8, 4DR Go get the beer car's. PS I still had the dealer tag on.

MYDLIFECRISIS Me and Dertyboi laugh at this hole Thread yesterday at work. but some time you have Toads go to other car forum just to cause trouble. I like having fun with my car and friends cars. Plus Ford & Chev have worked together some much the last 5-10yr most of their cars have 20-40% tech that was design together. So us FANS of one car or the other should not fight with each other.

No fighting here my friend. Like I said, no hurt feelings. I welcome the comradery. I'm enlightened to know that guys are out there modding their "family" cruisers. It'll make you think twice about who you stage up against!!
