Want to make my VZ SS 5.7 go faster

[cava454]

Never heard of a tune for torque.

Properly matched converter will make ur car run loads better. You want your car to go faster yet don't wanna use more fuel?

No problems with my stall up hills and fuel consumption didn't change one bit when it went in... everyone has an opinion I guess

I knew someone was out there with a conflicting argument! lol. Well the tuner at autotechnique also has a converter in his car
and he was the one telling me about it.

Well, i said to the tuner, i want it tuned for torque, and he acknowledged me with an 'ok'. I dont know stuff all about stuff all when
it comes to this stuff. What kind of tunes are there if not for torque?

Well lower ratio gears than what i've got will add more power and improve economy, because of where i live, in the hills.
And so will a tune, therefore more power/better performance/improved fuel economy, is desirable to me, seems like good logic to stick with no?

in the end mate it's your car do what you like !!! many have told you do diff gears first and I agree !!! anyway all good enjoy!!??

A good tune optimises torque (and hence power) at all rpm/load points. It's not like an old car where you could go bigger chokes in the carby for more top end and smaller for more low end etc. No compromises with modern efi That being said the VZ tune is already pretty good down low so you won't notice huge gains like people get on VT/VX, but it should be noticable.

Diff gears will make a big difference, better choice than a high stall if you live in the hills IMO.

new one on me to ??

[Angeldust]

[white lie]

Where's the fun in that?

I have done all and more upgrades to my M6 ute as it is a track only car now and I agree 100% with "white lie" with costs, the old saying is you get what you pay for and I strongly recommend you spend the extra dollars on a reputable tuner, just to let you know my car all up has spent some 15hrs on the dyno over the last two years to get it where it is now, every mod I do I get it fine tuned so I get the best possible results from my upgrades. Hope this helps, for more details give me a call on 0408 827310.
