ECM change - possibly

[dandare]

Hello Keith,

I have an 8860 motorsport ecu from EMS and a data logger for it. I'm not going to use it because I'm (maybe foolishly) going the GM ecu route. There's a tuner for these in London I think.

Did the June date go ahead, Keith?

No Steve it didn't! It transpired that the tuner had little time (despite to forward booking) to give to my problem, which to be fair he thought would take more than a day (presumably with other bookings in between)to sort out.
Looks like I will leaning toward going the Syvecs route as I have pretty-much exhausted other possibilities. Remember my comment of earlier? The impression is, given a simple tuning job with fairly std engine, then there are lots of avenues, but if you have something more challenging maybe with a few gremlins to fix, then they all melt away! Nobodies fault but mine!

All very frustrating.

As you may remember I have an JS supplied LS7 too. I've never had mine tuned, Jeff seemed to think it would adjust itself for whatever exhaust and air intake I fitted. I would say he was right, but now I will be running with a restrictor most of the time so I thought a mapping session might help.

But your experience hasn't helped my decision process!

Jeff did kindly suggest he send a tuner over to me, but unless you have a very large wallet, at $1500/day & travel, accommodation, food and filling his bag with black Toblerones on the way back through the airport, you are into mortgage territory, and is a stretch too far for me anyway!!!

You must be joking...! That's sounds more like the cost for tuning an exotic engine which needs very, very special treatment. A Chevy small block is certainly NOT exotica.
