So what went wrong with 10-11 V6 camaro tuning?

Post by V6LLTBOSCH »

I'm not trying to put you guys down in no way so please don't take it the wrong way but I am a diablo fan before any of these other tuning companies. I been hoping that you guys would try again or regroup to find out what you guys might of have missed. We all remember when you guys tried and came out with nothing almost 2 years ago but this seem to be far from the truth now.

We have,

trifecta
hypertech
IPF w/19hp and 22lb ft of tq!
and HP tuners in works

I've attached dyno graph for all of them with the exception of HP tuners.

If you guys have the ability to go back to the drawing board then I don't see why not.

I've been following this conversation from the beginning and All I can see is these dyno charts just verify what Mikel told you right from the start. " there just isn't enough benefit in developing a tune for the V6 Camaro."
Come on. Less than 4 ft-lbs of torque. Two hp and two ft-lbs of torque. I would suggest that the drivers take a leak before making a run. THAT would probably give about the same overall performance gain.

Ok....where do I start.

That 3rd dyno chart, the stock pull is obviously knocking, so the baseline is not a fair comparison, clean up the knock, and yes, you'll find power.

The ipf graph appears to be a modified car, the baseline is higher and power carries further up top, so the gains are not representative of a 'stock vs tune'.

The first one looks about like what we saw. problem is, if we tried to sell a tool to any of our current customers, with paltry gains like that, they would likely go nuts.
If the V6 Camaro community has come to accept these minimal gains, it is possible that we may revisit this application. Now that we have TCM support available, it makes it quite a bit more likely to happen, as we certainly did not want to release it as pcm only tunes that gained very little power.
