    Anyone Have Issues with their Tunes?

    No worries. It really comes down to your expectations/goals. I personally like to run down every detail and push the vehicle to its limits. Our goal is to eventually run a 10.9 1/4 mile. You could also run a canned tune and get up too 100 hp and never have to really worry about anything. Any...

    Anyone Have Issues with their Tunes?

    Nothing caused by the tune. First problem was a flextube that was rattling/vibrating which caused false KR, then I had a problem a the front wheel hitting the fender which caused false KR. Some of these ST’s get false knock under light loads which is kind of alarming when you first see it...

    Anyone Have Issues with their Tunes?

    I have run into issues with the ST since tuning it and I have taken it to the dealership to get some of those issues fixed with no problem. These ST’s do have odd kinks that need to be worked out and the build quality can be improved for sure. It seems like the engine and transmission are stout...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    I thought about doing it myself, I did my own exhaust on my SHO but I could never get it to sound right. Since my wife drives this thing to patient houses I didn’t want it sound like a rabid pack of Honda’s for a couple days or a week if w/e I came up with didn’t sound right. I totally took the...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    Yup the factory is in fact stainless. I will be curious what it looks like in a year. I’m not too worried since I don’t live by the Gulf and wash the car pretty regular. I’m not the fanboy type so if I have issues with the exhaust I will certainly post them here! I hindsight I might have...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    Ya know, it kinda kills me that I never confirmed if it was stainless in the beginning. I have too many projects going on at once, doh! O well, luckily Centex doesn’t have corrosion or rust issues without being Arizona. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    E50 mix tips?

    Good idea! If you choose to run an ethanol sensor you will also be able to accurately guess your mix after using it for awhile. I haven’t used a calculator in a long time! The ethanol sensor also comes in handy when traveling or switching between tunes that run different levels of ethanol since...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    No drone at all. It Sounds like a million dollar sports car. I never thought a V6 could sound so bad ass. It has some beautiful sounds you won’t be disappointed. My wife describes it as a purring panther when cruising. Not to mention it’s cheaper installed than a nice off the shelf unit like...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    I still haven't been able to get times on the ST but I did get my wife to create a data log for me today on the E30 Tune. I might get a dragy run tomorrow AM. So far she is hovering around 22psi WOT. Blue line is the Wastegate percentage. In all ST feels pretty quick and the tune looks pretty...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    Found the last source of false knock. I hit a pothole a month ago in Michigan in the middle of the night and apparently a couple pins were broken on the fender which was also causing the wheels to run the inner fender well.

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    Took the ST up to Kinny’s Muffler Shop, they share a building with the transmission shop. I cannot believe how amazing the exhaust sounds. It has a commanding bassy sound that is absolutely beautiful. When I dropped the car off it sounded like a I dragging tin cans behind me due to the flex...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    I found the false knock, I think. I had this faint rattle but could never exactly pinpoint. The rattle got way worse over the last week and flex pipes are the culprit. I saw another member had pretty good luck cutting out the stock mesh covered flex pipes and replaced them with some woven flex...

    Gearhead Tuned ~ 21' ST

    I got a revision today, I also found a rattle that was causing false kr. False Kr was causing the tune to pull timing. Ass dyno tells me she has a little bit more omph, we’ll see tomorrow.
