I have had my PFC installed for a couple of weeks now and I'm just about to get it tuned. I have narrowed my choices down to Top Racing (as it is near where I live, and I figure its a smaller place where I might get more personalised service and attention towards my car and needs), or X-Speed (big place, maybe better facilities, more professional, but less personalised??).

What do people think I should get it tuned?

this is probably a very well noob question but can you just install your pfc and leave it in there without a tune?

Well you could certainly could, but you would not want to. Why spend all that money on the aftermarket management and not get it tuned to run at it's optimum level. Plus you could do damage to the motor if it is not tuned correctly. I had to turn my boost right down to stop the engine from pinging badly when I put in my PFC.

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
