We had a great night, improved both cars.
The unopened Red ss ute ran a 11.86 at 112mph.I think that could be a new record.
The blue VZ H/C ran a 11.5 at 118mph.
Post pictures and slips tomorrow.

Congratulations if it is a new record for unopened car :) still bloody fast if it isn't

It might stop a few doubters of your abilities if you can run those numbers on only your third trip to the drag strip.

Was the red utes times improved by more tuning or just the operating system change you were talking about?
Is the 90mm manifold an expensive change?

Was the red utes times improved by more tuning or just the operating system change you were talking about?
Is the 90mm manifold an expensive change?

The new operating system has made most of the difference to our times at the track on a standard Mafless tune.(Bolt on engines) As we proved last night.
The manifold and throttle body change to 90mm is more so needed on H/C packages but still its working on uncracked engines aswell.
As of cost its alot more affordable than the Fast 90mm Manifold and Throttle body package.

OS stands for operating system, when tunned Mafless there are basic ways to do this and then you tune it, another way is you could modify your computer and now we have a complete updated operating system that can be full flashed in your computer you can then install your modified tune or retune it from scratch.
These new operating systems have only been available in the last few weeks so if you have had somthing like this done a while ago these are new updates, inshort its like updatting from Windows 95 to Windows XP. ;)

VooDoo
22-05-2005, 11:21 AM
I had the new OS flashed in by PT 2 weeks ago and dropped from 13.1 to 12.8. Seems it does the trick. (new rear springs and a gearbox may have helped too)

Don't think the OS would have done much Stu. If there were modified tune calibrations it would have helped though.

You need to see what they have done to the program and you may be very surprised.
I can say the numbers on the dyno improved marginally and our track time also.
There are alot of other points that have help, we always log each dyno run as we make changes.
Voodoo its good to here other tuners are seeing the same result. We are also going to try other spings and suspension mods especially to the blue VZ.
Look out for our other VZ manual (Black) that is going to be running uncracked soon. ;)

22-05-2005, 01:27 PM
What are the OS updates? Are they GM specific, like OS patches they release from time to time? Are they aftermarket? Who makes them? In what way are they different to, say, a VYII? Do you need a Tech2 to apply them?

Sorry for being a nosey parker, but in this game you get that.

22-05-2005, 07:11 PM
Like I said Tuna, ask Mark. He had a few goes to resolve some things but got me back so he could blow away the lot, install a new OS and reflash the tune. I have no idea what OS i had before or now and i dont care. Mark felt it was needed and its helped fix all the issues. I dont think this thread is the place to discuss it.

Reloading an OS always makes the puta run faster, cleans out the crap. Works for micro$oft :)

I suppose that as there is no benifit as tuna says then there is no reason to write new software, do any bug fixes or improve anything. We must all be running VT OS's as there is no benifits to upgrading.

APS Fston
23-05-2005, 04:05 PM
It doesnt.......

I have spent a lot of time today talking with my software programmers and also have tested my theory on the new OS's I am using. The two we have tested today, a VT Clubby and WH Statesman, were already MAFless tuned with their standard OS. We installed a new OS with a standard calibration, retuned both vehicles and found a minimum of 8 RWkW improvement. Remembering they were both MAFless tuned previously.
In earlier vehicles it is true in saying they have cleaned the OS up.

Obviously another major benefit is the duel spark tables are reapplied, but that feature has been available for a while.

There are a lot of other features for turbo charged or blown engines. Also with VZ there are more tables for predicted air flow due to electric throttle application.
The changes are so vast I could talk all day about them.

Another vehicle we hope to have at the track soon is a blown 400+RWkW VZ ute.

I think Delco has enough runs on the board to be classed as professional. My OS upgrade didnt cost me a cent and ive been edited over a yr. Others i know that have had it done also were not charged (Both during and months after an edit).

BTW, dont think im knocking APSF in any way, ive never heard of OS upgrades being charged for before.

Hey readers,
Started mafless tuning what looks to be the highest unopened LS1 we have tuned to date 273 rwkw, and we haven't even upgraded the valve springs yet...
This should raise some eyebrows when we run it down the 1/4. :driving:
The last unopened we ran had 261 rwkw and ran 11.86 as this thread already states, and we have made improvements to that car as well.
Both cars are running new OS and are running pump fuel :D

09-06-2005, 08:57 PM
That is unbelievable!!! Do you have a rwkw baseline to run with? ie. dyno figures for a stock new vehicle like a VZ HSV or SS?

I aggree, the Mainline dyno as used by APS fston is bound to read differently to our Dyno Dynamics in one way or another, so to compare different workshops figures is folly.

Not a waste of time, but relative to that car, on that day. If you got 200rwkw prior to edit and 240rwkw afterwards, its the same as 230 before and 270 afterwards. Ive personally seen dyno results vary 30rwkw with back to back runs. same car, different dyno setup. (and i havent exactly seen that many). Many ppl take dyno readings with a grain of salt as they can be very inacurate at times and vary due to operator, locations etc. I know there are practices to minimise the variances but not all workshops are the same. Some follow the practices to the letter, others knowhow to manipulate the readings to get a better result.

Im in no way infering any specific workshop does this, it DOES happen though. This is why most ppl use the track for the best measure of performance. There is no perfect measurement though as all can be affected by outside influances.

Heath, as Voodoo said, its all relative. My point above was based particularly around the fact that the dyno brands are differant and that just because someone see's 270 odd kw on one dyno dosnt necessarily mean they will see the 270 odd on another dyno.

We have seen massive numbers on dyno sheets from some other Dyno Dynamics equiped shops, however we have failed to see these same big numbers on the same cars dyno'ed on our dyno. Im not saying they have been ripped, rather, they probably started with higher numbers before there mods were performed.

Funny enough, that rarely happens. The ppl that do actually have big HP have nothing to prove so they dont or rarely attend. Its been proven time and again the dyno figure means nothing at the track. Markone2 was doing low 12's with 217rwkw. There is a stato in the 12's with 220ish. There is also cars with 265rwkw doing 14's :stick: The % improvement over stock or between mods is what you need to look at.

Dyno sheets are just another dick measuring competition. Its not what you've got, its how its used :D

Markone2 was doing low 12's with 217rwkw.

he looses power every time his low 12s are quoted :p

Mark's result would be as a consequence of his auto and stall draining power to the wheels when measured on the dyno.

Yeah, we can take our couple of Auto cars to the dyno's with big high stalls and get eaten alive by the M6 guys.


Lock the convertor up, then see how they go

Just a quick post to let you all know that we have LS2 tuning software in arms reach. It will be interesting to see how much more power we can get out of the HSV 6.0L. ;)
I will post up some before and after kw readings for your viewing pleasure. :nyuk:

Hi Guys,
Is the red ss ute going out to the track tomorrow?
With a bit of luck I will be there for one last run before selling off some bits and pieces
Hope to see you there. Chris

It's only a thread and as you can see there have been a lot of views, being that this is a public forum. Sponsorship might be a possibilty in the future, but at this stage we're just testing the waters to see what sort of respaonse we can get. Hopefully we can avoid comments like yours. Interesting topics is what its all about. :nopity:

No we've got no plans of going to Calder tomorrow. It looks like the weathers not going to be good, but we'll see what happens for next week. Look forward to seeing everyone there :wave:
All the best and keep breaking those times.

YES PLEASE!!!! :bow:

It's so frustrating to see no one (including forum sponsors) not posting any results on work done to these beasts.

What software are you guys using? (If that's ok to ask).

Red SS ute unopened looks like it is retiring, but if all goes well there will be two new unopened VZ SS utes, manual vs auto, which will be interesting.

Also we are excited to say we will be sponsoring this forum by the end of the month. Look forward to opening new threads of interest. ;)

Top move, in my opinion. I don't think you'll get better advertising than this forum. :D

Congratulations on your debut performances guys, good to see some hard work paying off.

I was impressed at your facilities and neat setup last friday. Good to see some passion in your work, it will only bring further great results.

Dont worry about the knockers, they are the highest form of flattery. The best way to deal with issues like those is on the blacktop... :bash:

All the best

Hey guys, when will u be back in action at calder?

It looks like the next time we'll be out on the track will be at Heathcote.
At the moment we have a heavy work load trying to get 6 cars ready. :eek:

The red SS ute that this thread is about has retired and is on the market for any interested buyers. We have 2 new unopened utes which I think I have already mentioned earlier in this thread, black VZ manual & blue VZ auto.
There may be a possibility of running 2 cars at Calder in the next couple of weeks.
Look forward to seeing you all out there. :driving:

Thanks for your kind words Chris. It was great to meet you and I look forward to tuning more Fords with you in the future.
