Uprev Tricks
 
1 Attachment(s)
So I went I decided to get a tune on my 40th tuesday since I lost some low end torque when i did a muffler delete and it was really bugging me. I decided to go see Rob at Zcar Garage as i have worked with him in the past on my 350 and he is great (and now has a FAB Stache goin on :tiphat:)! Below is a little video review of the Uprev tune tricks that Rob showed me.

After the tune I noticed a much more crisp throttle response. I gained a little over 15HP and little more than 12 in torque. I have NO performance mods on the car other than removing the muffler as i don't want to throw away money before a turbo install. With getting the tune ahead of time I have worked out deal with Rob when he does my Turbo. Im very happy with the tune and Rob's customer service.

Hate to break it to you OP but it's not a secret code. All you're doing is switching maps. The valet mode is just a map with the rev limiter set to 2500 rpm in your case and a speed limiter of 25 mph. The anti-theft is just set to no fuel so the car can't start.

Sorry for crushing your hopes and dreams. :tiphat:

Yeah I'm aware that it's not a "secret code" and that all I'm doing is switching between maps. But if you're a random vallet worker or somebody else that is stealing the car and not aware of how to switch the maps wouldn't you consider it a "secret code"? Because until yesterday... I didn't know anything about this.

So flame on! But I'm gonna go eff with the vallet this weekend with my new secret code!

I hate being put in the position of having to pay for parking or a free valet sevice. With the valet tune, I would be more willing to let a valet touch my vehicle. Granted, it helps that the car is still mostly stock. The more work I put into it, the harder it becomes to let anyone touch it :icon17:

I did the unthinkable and tried switching maps on the fly one day. Throttle stopped working, and I had to pull to the side and restart the engine.

You should mess around with the valet. Let him drive the car and put it in valet mode. Then when he gets out be like "What did you do!" Just mess with his mind.
