Aftermarket Tune

mcobb2 · August 4, 2008

Hey, I have a 4.8L and I was wondering what tuner everyone was running. What seems to work best and what not. I would really like one that adds a little more torque and if possible perhaps a little better gas mileage. Just out of curiosity, Is there anyone that is running an EFI Live tune? I know the diesel tunes add massive Hp. I know the guy who owns it and was thinking of the $100 VIN code. Thanks

Another custom tune thread? Seriously? Are you guys just going to keep creating new "custom tune" threads over and over again until Jeff and I start another crazy argument?

He just might be exagerating a bit on those HP figures.

okay, okay...I admit, I was a bit conservative with my estimate.

I do have a CAI....that's another 30 hp right there.

And my performance exhaust is another 20

so....

Don't forget to add the stickers to your side or rear window. That will add another 20 HP for each sticker. Oh, and don't forget the "I eat Fords, and shit Mopars" sticker too.

and if you add a chrome bug/splash guard you will see increases of 26-49 hp and torgue and gain 6-10 mpgs

Funny coincidence is that while at school, a group dynoed a civic before and after they added an edlebrock sticker and after they added it, the top HP really did go up 3hp...

HP by osmosis, I like that idea.

EXACTLY!!! ahahah

If that's the case, I'm putting all those stickers back on my rear glass... I might have lost 30hp!

But seriously, give Justin (black bear performance) a call. Everyone I've seen, myself included, have had nothing but great experiences with his work.
