Springfield Mass area tune available?

[mattamd_xp]

Does anyone in the Springfield, Mass area have either a DHP tuner or an HP Tuners? (Up to 1-2 hours away) I just bought a turbo 3.4 grand am se and I was wondering if there was anyone in the area that has either of these tuners that I can pay to use to tune my car for the larger injectors that are in it. The person I bought the car from had a piggyback computer system in it (The smt6) and it does basically nothing for tuning the car for boost or larger injectors, all it was good for was retarding the timing (what a waste of money) I removed the SMT6 and now I need to start the tuning over again. The car is only set for 4psi of boost so it shouldn't take long. I am looking at buying one of the two tuners, but I won't have the money for a few weeks and the car needs to be inspected and won't pass inspection buring super rich at idle. you can post, pm me, or email me at Mattamd_xp@yahoo.com

Off topic: I'm actually stationed in chicopee next time im up there can i check out your turbo system?

On topic: My friend jay has friends in mass area that has the DHP Tuner available, i'll ask him later today.

if you could get it done in a day while im there i have dhp.

basically right now I just want to import the file for the bigger injectors so that the car will run okay at idle. I'm planning on getting my own dhp to tune it when I turn up the boost, but for only 4 psi the stock tune seems to run everything but the larger injectors.

anyone that's ever in the area and wants to see the turbo setup, just let me know time/date and I'll see what I can work out

[geldartb]

when ever your free we could meet up and do this.

let me know what a good time is for you.

[mattamd_xp]

geldartb -I pm'd you my # to work out a time and place to meet up

[Rustyfriend]

when are you guys planning on doing this? i am around Albany, NY and i am very desperate for a tune as well for a 3100 with a blower

[mattamd_xp]

I have not heard back from geldartb yet -I'm still waiting to get the car tuned correctly -I have it so it runs, but I really need to get a correct tune done -anytime would still work for me -anyone in the area have a tuner???

Bump -is there anyone in the area that has a tuner??? I'm looking to get one in the future but I need a tune and don't want just a mail order PCM

If you are really desperate, I can send you a PCM with a 2001 Alero GLS program. If you can find out exactly what IFR value to set it at, and what else you want changed in it, let me know. But can't you just put stock injectors back in for the time being?
What size injectors do you have in it?

how about some pictures of the setup

[mattamd_xp]

I don't have stock injectors -I bought the car with the 30lb ones already in it -It was turboGA's car. I really don't want to spend the money on injectors if I'm just going to pull them out. The car is a 99 which also means it has different injectors than most GA's so they are hard to find used. I might just have to get a mail order tune to get by with and then work from that later

[mattamd_xp]

how about some pictures of the setup

here is one that was taken long before I got the car -I don't have any recent ones, and it's outside in the rain, but I'll try and get some in the member's rides section soon

did you find a tuner yet? there is a plac called kustom performance right off 391 that i believe does tuning.
Cory: whats up? long time no see, when you are in chicopee again send me a PM or call me!

[mattamd_xp]

I just bought a used DHP powertuner so I can finally get some tuning done on the car. It should be here by the end of the week and then the fun begins :)

[Bouchie11982]

Matt, you're gonna have to let me knwo when the car will be on the road! i'd like to see it in person.

[mattamd_xp]

It will probably take awhile to get the tune right, but I'll be posting updates as I make progress
