Re: Added CAI, axleback, soon 2.5 upper pulley
diablosport does not do custom tuning... so find yourself a local diablosport CMR tuning shop and take it there to get it done....riderover wrote:Which is my best choice ? The Diablo Tune? 93 Octane? or 91 Octane. I find that all three are rich......i notice that all three have decel exhaust detonation! I know that means that the parameters are rich....which I do understand because Diablosport has to protect our CTSV. I was going to experiment by leaning out the A/F but I honestly do not know how far I can go! I notice that theoption to lean or rich is by a percentage of middle! You likely know where I can start without tyring 10 then 20 then 30 etc. Maybe I should just get you data downloads of three each of my cruising and WOT events and pay you the 135 or whatever it is ! When I pay for the custom tune do you give me the "best" possible tune ? It wont be rich A/F mix and best possible ignition and injector curves? Im willing to pay the money to save me the aches and pains of troial and error....or should I go get the CMR fr a local CMR rep?mikel wrote:the car we developed the inital canned tunes on had an Airaid and a catback, you should love itriderover wrote:Hi mikel, I hv the 11 V Coupe and I just added Airaid CAI and an axle back Corsa Sport exhaust and picking up my new Trinity 1000 tonite.

It has started to sound more like a backfire! I checked the cai installation and its good. Black soot pretty heavy on exhaust outlets too.mikel wrote:you cant guess at 'running rich', gotta get a WB on it
If true that the canned tunes were done with CAI and axlebacks why isnt the Diablosport Canned tune getting rid of the decel issue.
I put it back to the OEM tune and theres no difference!
Whats a WB? Any help here?

no canned tune is going to eliminate something like that, especially since it only happens with certain cat backs, and also considering many people like/enjoy the popping (I do...).riderover wrote:It has started to sound more like a backfire!

None of the vehicles we have tested here had excessive popping, and of our hundreds of V customers, you'd be the first to complain of this.
As mentioned, its a simple fix in a custom tune....

Re: 2009+ Cadillac CTS-V
You're likely right! When Idyno tuned my '10 Camaro the shop asked if I wanted to rid of the pop ! I left. It as is and everyonne liked it! My wife especially liked it! After a while and after some track I didnt like it and they tuned it out!
It does seem like it it worse though in this case! What iswith the black soot tho, should I worry !
By the way ! Which tune is better for performance, Diablosport Canned..... or the 91 Octane canned?

Re: 2009+ Cadillac CTS-V
the Diablo Tune is made for 93 octane gas.... so if you use good 93 octane gas, use that Diablo Tune for some better performance... (it has more advanced timing)
