I am using custom tunes since the 7140 doesnt have the oprtions for Delete Plates in the canned tunes for ...

RE: Re: RE: CMR Product Available to End Users - Training?

I am interested in the CMR as well, a watered down version that allows general changes would be Great, and also better data logging. I have been trying to find a 90 degree adapter for the predator so when I am doing data logging the plug isnt in the way of my clutch leg.

I have been very happy ...

Well I spent the day at Dez Racing in Seekonk. Mike does all my tuning and it had all of us stumped. We finally figured out we were looking at the wrong end. Everything up top was perfect but it wasnt pushing it out the back. Both Cats were clogged up. Runs like a champ now and with the new 3.90 ...

I have just been logging to the predator and logging all parameters .. Here is a log from a drive around the block, as soon as it starts making boost it starts bogging and if you hold it, it will start knocking .. Got me totally stumped.

Well I think I have isolated down to a lack of fuel when it gets into boost.. So I am guessing the crappy little piggy back pump you get with the Novi kit has gone belly up.. I'll post my findings later today.

Ok here is a log file, not very long. Just revved it up a few times after driving it for a while. I revved it till it pinged a couple times. Not sure if you can figure anything out from this or not.

Re: RE: Pinging like Crazy

Bad plugs?
Vacuum leak?
Loose coupler somewhere?
Burnt wire?

Changed the plugs, still pulling good vacuum on the guage and idles fine, checked all the connections anyway, checked all the wires and connectors and everything seems just fine.

Thought it might have been a tank of bad gas, but ...

RE: Cam tunes

You are always better off getting a good Dyno tune. There are alot of e-mail tuners out there that can send you a tune, but they will only be close, if you want it tuned to perfection, go to a good dyno tuner.

Re: RE: Possible issue with Download Software

This file is fine. It is smaller because it is compressed to contain only the changes specific to the custom tune.

Thanks John, I was thinking along those lines but wasnt sure.

One thing I would love to see in a future software upgrade would be a menu driven download that would allow you to ...

Possible issue with Download Software

I just did the upgrade on my vr7140, I had to wait until I got my custom Paxton Tune from my Tuner. It all went well after I used a different computer to do the update. I reinstalled my custom tune and all is well.

Now I attempted to test the last tune written download to my computer and here is ...
