So if I order the ecutek tune stuff. After we install all these parts, will I have a base tune to deal with from Seb? I doubt i'll be able to get ahold of the guy on a sat/sun. Will the base tune and car survive 600+ miles back home?

Call Seb and see if he has a moment to talk with ya. Best thing you could do. I'd rather have the person that is tuning your car answer those questions vs. me.

Called and left Seb a message. I could hear him dyno'ing in the background. hahahaha. Hopefully have a better understanding of what to do by the end of the week.

I did intakes, intake upgrades, ported throttle bodies, ported upper mani, long tube headers and catback all prior to getting a tune, and I was fine. Now granted, I did them all one at a time, and I gave my car time to adjust (about 100 miles) to each piece without going WOT. I also didn't go WOT at all after long tubes until I had my tune. But yeah, since you're doing half as much, I expect you'll be fine running a few days untuned.

I'm going to see what Seb says. If he thinks driving back untuned is better, then I will just do that and work with him throughout the week to get it tuned while home.

Or we see if he can send me a quick base tune after we do everything for the ride back home. Maybe even see if I can data log for him quickly while making the drive.

Leingod · 04-05-2018, 01:13 PM

Btw. How is launch control? Is it as fun as it sounds?

It is one giant button to start the logging and hit it again to stop. You could set the parameters up on the laptop before the drive home and have the GF just hit start when you are cruising, wot, ect. Send it to Seb when you get home and then upload the tune he sends back ect ect.

Yea. It's easy enough. I just want to make sure no matter which route we take, the car isn't going to do something disastrous. I have never modded this much followed by driving that much.

The ecu can adjust for quite a lot. I am sure it will be fine but I hate to say that out loud lol.

The ECU can def handle a lot of outside variables. I wanna know if it can handle it for 10+ hours straight. lol

Give me a refresher on what you are planning on doing to the motor.
