Some of the 8.1 guys over at the high performance forum are disapponinted with the Westers. Are the results better on the 4.8/5.3 side? :chevy:

I'd like to see dyno results before and after. The program for my truck is $595. The same money will buy a high stall torque converter less installation, but worth an honest .4 in the 1/4 mile. Of course the Westers will do other recalibrations. :chevy: What to do?

basically we talked about everything.i mentioned that i had a free flowing exhaust with the headers,cats,bullet mufflers,true dual, and x-pipe.he said he could tune for it to take full advantage of the flow.he is going to raise my idle to 625 instead of 550.i measured the tire by marking it and the concrete to get the speedo correct.shift points are going to be 5600 1-2 and 5500 2-3.he is going to set the kickdown different so that it will down shift instead of staying in gear like our trucks sometimes seem to do.he also stated that he does leave a tiny bit of tq in so that the shifts are very firm and you will not experience the slight hesitation when shifting at wot.i told him i had a 180 therm.i mentioned that i had the iridium plugs. he said that they will work fine but i think i am going to go to a step colder.we talked about the mass air sensor. he said he could tune for no screen but he does prefer to leave it in since it is able to get a better reading to the pcm.lyndon is a great guy to talk to and is very intelligent about everything.my honest belief is not everyone will be 100% satisfied with his pcm's.every truck and person reacts differently.i believe that i will be very staisfied. :chevy:

So true! Having spent 3 years over at LS1.com when I had my 2000 Z28, I know that the same mod on two like vehicles can have different results. Sounds crazy but true.

That "kickdown" is awesome!!! It is quick and sharp and immediatly puts your motor right in the middle of the sweet-spot. If you are rolling along at 55 MPH and give your truck 1/2 throttle you are up to 75 MPH very quickly!!!

I don't know if I can unlearn using the column shifter... hehehehe

No worries. I'll send you a couple, along with some neat ones for your

mirror. "Objects in Mirror soon disappear..."

I did an experimental tune with your PCM, so let me know how it works.

Everything was as you requested, but I did some different modifications

to

The torque management, and I'd like some feedback. Yours will be going

out

Tomorrow afternoon.

 

Lyndon.

 

now i am really excited. :chevy:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
