The lag off idle is pretty much gone. Theres a slight surge thats happening randomly now. Not able to pinpoint exactly the circumstances (its random :P), so its gonna have to stay.
Ok great, thank you for letting me know on that one :)

Thanks for supporting the CTS-V. I am considering buying a Trinity. I currently have a CAI installed, and have a 2.55 upper pulley waiting to be installed. Will the 91 octane tune be safe for this application? Also, the car is an automatic. I understand it will tune the TCM as well. Does it leave enough TM in the transmission to be safe? Thanks.

yes, yes, and yes ;)

The 91 tune will work great with your current set up, then swap to the pulley tune once you up the boost.

TM is not removed, just reduced :)

Mike, Are you gonna fix the dashboard or should I mess with it myself?

Terrific Mike. Thanks. Just ordered one. How robust is the data logging feature? And is the Trinity set-up to recognize knock retard in case I need to tone things down? I imagine the initial tune is pretty conservative. I live in a hot climate, well above sea level and have 91 octane to boot.

You can see anything you need.

There is a knock pid, and you can see actual timing, commanded timing, commanded AFR, boost, inj pw, and more ;)

The tunes are conservative for sure.

Terrific. I look forward to learning the unit.

Spoke too soon. When the car is cold the lag is still there, and it bangs into gear. 43°. Lagged, then it short shifted into 2nd HARD.

See if you can get a log of that...its gonna be a while before we see 43* ;)

It hasn't been getting that cold here either. Next time it does I'll get the log.

Hey I was just wondering if the stock injectors could handle 15psi. I am about to put on a 9.1 lower pully to run with my 2.5 upper pulley. So im going to be right at 15psi. I have 80# injectors on hand to put in, but if I do can someone make a base tune for me so I can dial it in myself?

Put it on and then log the IPW to see if they're maxxing out.

You have a bigger heat exchanger, right? Otherwise thats too much boost and you'll heatsoak, get knock and lose power.

Ok I have not logged ipw but my idc was at 110% at only 12.75 psi. Which leads me to belive the stockers could not handle another 2 psi.

Your injector has completely maxed out and only ran 100%, you just ran it past its operating range... It is impossible to physically run an injector HIGHER than 100%.

so yeah, if your duty cycle is reading 110%, you need bigger injectors man... generally, you don't want the duty cycle to be more than 80-85%....

Ok thats what I was thinking. I will go ahead and put these in next week. Would it be posible to get the pulley tune scaled back for my 80# injectors. Is it something I could do or would have to get done. There is really not a good gm cmr tuner close to me.
