Lost every bolt on and tune on my 02 gt and the only one after hundreds of $$ that made any change were the gears? WTF

I know a guy that put a 78mm bbk throttlebody on his 02 and it made a huge difference by itself. There has to be something wrong here because you should have been somewhere near 30+ hp up from stock and you would definitely feel that much power.

You need to invest in a tuner. You will realize the real power of your car after its tuned. Even with just a cai and a tune you gain massive hp for the money but without the tune it doesn't do much at all.
Get it tuned by a professional. I guarantee you'll see some good numbers.Gtif said:I have a dioblo predator tune and I even modified the perameters and gave it advance timing but made no difference its stumbles a little at 4k rpm so i let of fearing detonation. before stock and after bolt ons. Just made it sound better
I did just what you did on my '04 GT and noticed a nice difference!.. And I've got the DiabloSport Predator!..Gtif said:When I advanced the timing on the tuner to 10 degrees or more at the track is sputtered a little after the 60' mark so I backed off the throttle and reset the tune back to the original performance set tune. I'm ready to believe that the dioblo sport was a waste of time and money and should of agent with the calx that most stings use. Seems that modified perameters are not functioning like they claim it would. I even changed the fuel ratio a considerable amount and no smoke came from the tailpipes which led me to beleave it's a crap and is only good for tires, gears, traction control, tourque shift pressure and rev limiter.
Smoke from your tailpipes is bad!.. So I'm not sure really why you would want to see that!.. And your car can still run rich or lean and not smoke!.. Most especially if you still have cats on your car which would the greatly reduce your smoking effect!.. Lol.Gtif said:I changed the fuel ratio just to see if a changed would accure and that means smoke comeing from the tail pipes. And nothing shown that it was running too rich. Nice and clean wasn't what was suppose to happen.
He made the a/f rich, which should have produced smoke. It's trouble shootingEturner said:Smoke from your tailpipes is bad!.. So I'm not sure really why you would want to see that!..

Not sure why you would want to use that method to trouble shoot but ok!.. Lol. But like I said to, you can have your car run rich and still not see any visible smoke!.. Doing some track side tunning once and I had mine running really rich before there was a hint of smoke!.. But there was plenty of black crape inside my tail pipes at the end of the night!.. And that is actually a better way to tell if your running a bit rich!.. Also if your running an after market exhaust and your pipes are clamped together, check those areas dormant black soot!.. If it's all welded together then it will blow out your tails!..deadsp0t said:He made the a/f rich, which should have produced smoke. It's trouble shooting
Rich won't hurt the motor, lean will. He is trying to tell if the tuner is working like it says.. Pretty simple really.Eturner said:Not sure why you would want to use that method to trouble shoot but ok!.. Lol.

If your running rich over time it to will foul up your engine!.. Generally not as fast as running lean but still!..deadsp0t said:Rich won't hurt the motor, lean will. He is trying to tell if the tuner is working like it says.. Pretty simple really.
Dude, he made a drastic change in the a/f trying get the car to react to it instantly not wait a month. What he did was smart, safe, and easy to correct. It's called troubleshooting.. Geez..Eturner said:If your running rich over time it to will foul up your engine!.. Generally not as fast as running lean but still!..
Dude!.. Chill!.. It's ok!.. Lol. Like I said before I did some thing similar!.. It's just not good to run it too rich for to long!.. A little bit on the rich side won't hurt it!.. Alot though will foul it up!.. Nothing wrong with playing around with your settings on your tuner a bit!.. I do it just about every time I go to the track!.. It's just now I don't mess with the a/f ratio any more!..deadsp0t said:Dude, he made a drastic change in the a/f trying get the car to react to it instantly not wait a month.
