Puffwagons Dyno Tuning Adventures

[Puffwagon]

Hiiiii...YA!!!

 

Nah it actually pulls the skin of a custard now so that's nice

 

Wait until it gets an 85mm turbo

oh yeah, that'll definitely make it fast  `

[Puffwagon]

I have most of the parts and the funds required to make it happen. I just need some motivation and it'll be done in "2 weeks" 

[Puffwagon]

Did some trans tuning on the Caprice today. So bloody convenient having a dyno, I can make a change and then just run it through the gears while watching the data. I may have tried flooring it through the gears, basically wheelspin the whole way through the first 4 gears lol.

Replaced the front wheel bearings on the Caprice today and went for a test drive, bringing along the draggy. Tried a couple 0 to 100s but not much luck. First time I floored it, the tyre slipped, so I got out of it, rather than do a skid. Second time I got into it slowly and did a 6 second 0 to 100. Third attempt realised a 5.5 second lap, but still accelerating slowly from the start.

 

Either it has a single spinner or my hectic safety pack diff is worn out. Gonna need to upgrade this car substantially to bring it in line with a modded Falcon, although the upside is it does it all without a turbo, so there is hope on the horizon. Also my boot space can hold at least 6 bodies, maybe 8, so that will come in handy one day no doubt

sounds like reasonable progress

[Puffwagon]

Yep have learnt a thing or two along the way 

[Puffwagon]

Going forward, I won't to reply to messages asking for tune help, until it's paid for up front.

 

I've spent hundreds of hours, probably closer to thousands, helping people for free. I've released information to the community that tuners would have charged hundreds for. My dyno, my parts and time put into developing the territory,  my tools, mortgage, kids etc etc, don't pay for themselves. Yeah I wanna help, but people have taken too much.

 

There's more to this story and I'm not naming names but there are several.

 

I have my own dyno and tools and don't have anyone telling me to hurry up and send it out the door. You get what you pay for and the people that pay nothing are getting exactly that.

 

On a positive note I actually charge less than any workshop out there....for now

how about a free stick of ram with every tune  

[Puffwagon]

I've still got that ram in the cupboard if you want it lol. No doubt you've upgraded since then
