The Tune by SVC

[ZBoater]

I don't understand how a "performance" shifting tune can also be smooth. I thought these two concepts were incongruous. What gives?

Through tuning you can play with engine load (intake manifold pressure at certain rpm etc), throttle position, vehicle speed, engine speed, in some vehicles g forces, braking force, rate of throttle application etc... That way you can make the machine behave as desired. The more variables the more complex, the more complex setups with a good tuner yield awesome results.

Give the 93oct 5star performance tune time. Let it settle, adapt or whatever time it needs to "learn" and adjust. You will see the shifts per se are smooth sailing really. Then let it rip at wot like a savage. The shifts will hammer much harder. Try it, you'll see.

The most advanced and almost only "night and day" car I can think of on the same tune is a GT-R or maybe a 997/991 Porsche. If you have a friend with one. Put the car in R mode for suspension, transmission and traction control. Ussually just VDC off altogether no nannies. But leave it in automatic mode, no paddles. Drive the kid to school in traffic you will never know there is anything going on. Coast lightly braking to a 180 degree long off ramp. Nothing happens. Sixth gear easy. Mid turn apply fair pressure to the brakes. It will downshift once. Do it again and apply like a mother ******. It will downshift harder and hold the gear longer. Worst. Hit the gas mid turn, it will revmatch and downshift so could drift it like a Corvette. In automatic mode, that car can become a beast or a pony all on the same tune.

Yeah, I didn't run it long enough for it to learn anything. Only a couple of hours. But enough to see my truck turn into a beast. It was awesome. It was fun, too. But I'm not sure I'd be happy with it as my daily driver. I think it holds gears too long (for my taste) and won't go into 6th gear below 50. I coast a lot between 40 and 50, and it would always stay in 5th.

But I'm keeping that tune handy. I will load it again for sure. I'm looking for a daily driver tune. I may have to give the economy tunes a try. I asked Chris for a "tweak" to my 93 Performance "soft" tune to make it even softer. But I'm thinking it's not worth it to go with 93 octane tunes if I'm not gonna push it hard. Might as well go with 87 octane and save myself $15-16 per fill up.

I'm intrigued but this SVC tune, so I'll keep my eye out.

The best tune will make you happy with the car and is the one you will actually use. I really wish I had gone with the svc offering from the getgo. Now that several days have passed it has become part of the package. My truck is stock, it came with a tune made by a team of engineers. I do not take that lightly. I can honestly say my otherwise unmodified Raptor is better than what rolled out off the factory. Tuner did a good job on this one.

I would have probably tried the 5stars as well anyway but definitely gone back to "The Tune" lol.

The next best thing is the SCT tune IMO.

Fire sale happened. I sold all of the parts off of the truck, including wheels, tires, front and rear suspension, psr, bumpers etc. Now I can sell the truck for as little as $43k and make more than what I was asking when it was all put together

Do you have anything left?

I don't think I read anything about this, but would changing the gear ratios require a re-tune?

I would assume that would be a factor, I know a lot of people running 37s are also running 4.88 gears - 4.56 gears would be as close as possible to evening out the ratio... when actually evening out would be 4.34 - so there is disparity there.

Are you guys planning to do tunes for the regeared rear/front ends too?

The gear ratios are left unlocked and can be adjusted in the user parameters same as SCT.

Thanks

Hey Jarrett, in your experience with raptors, have you found that there are dealers out there that are friendly towards tunes? The fact that I only have 10k miles on my truck is the only thing holding me back. I just had to replace a trans on my dodge(out of warranty) and the cost of repairs has me kind of spooked.

Also, How do you think this tune will affect the transmission in the long haul?

SVC... this is interesting. I might need to upgrade

Do you have anything left?

D2's, ADD Venom rear bumper, 5 vision x light cannons with covers, race radio, Volant intake, and I'll be trading the factory bead lockable wheels I have for a cheaper set

 

[GsxrRaptor]

Yes sir,

We just need to know what mods you have, specifically the CAI if you have one.

Also, if anyone is willing to lend us their Volant or AFE intake, we will write you the custom tune for free. You would only need to purchase the hand held unless you already have one. Basically we need to put those two intakes on the flow-bench to create a proper tune based off of the MAF housing size.

Thanks

Jarrett

Did u ever get someone with the afe cai
I have one that I use for street and the ump I use in the deser did u get any takers on this
I have the 5star tune set up but I think I needs to be re upgraded ?? I would be interested on ur tunes
