Silver Bullet Tuning makes 625hp smoke free.

Nice job again Les, oh yeah guys...he has owned the software less than a year and is making this stuff happen... who says you have to own it for years and years to learn how it works? All it takes is time, patience, some dedication, and the "know how" of how the engine works. Great job Les.

Good question. Does someone really say that? I'd love to see someone make that comment so I could hammer them. I've never heard anybody make such a claim. Honestly, I know some real idiots who tune vehicles within a few hours of me in any direction, so it gives me a lot of hope to get my grasp of it settled in quickly. Of course those are gassers, where you add 10hp on a stock vehicle and it's a success. Not like these beasts.

gasser is a whole different world...that really does take some time... Shawn's auto ve tutorial is a BEAST and you can really get a gasser going in the right direction quick with it..but unlike a diesel...the gassers have much less tolerance to a "oops that was the wrong calibration" lol

Yeah I agree it's different due to tolerances. My buddy Bluecat wrote some kind of VE tuning program that's now the standard for the VE portion of tuning big cube LSx motors. It's kind of like the timing spreadsheets in that it's just an accompaniment. I forget what it was called now. I never had bigger cubes than 408.

And Les is a beast that's for sure! Great job Les.

Great work! That is really where I would like to be. With my old electronics setup I made 621hp, but was very smoky. I have been working on making a tune that is fun to drive, makes good power, but also doesn't smoke at all. It's better than it was now that I have efilive, but far from what I am shooting for. I know it's a vague question, but would you be able to offer any tips on how to do this? I have tried more or less timing, pressure, pulse-with, etc., but haven't found the happy medium. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the new turbo and tune suited to towing duty ? If so, what sort of power could one expect at "safe all day" EGTs ?

I *love* reading these EFI success stories. Thanks for sharing.

Customer has a toy hauler that has not been towed with yet...but I dont forsee any EGT issues.

[someguy]

Meaning he could use over 600 HP continuously, all day and not have any EGT issues, even at WOT ?

I don't understand this then.

Kevin has had the BW on for approx 1 week and was thrilled with the added power and pulling this turbo presented over the Garrett. EGT's were 1500* but now by 110mph and not the 80mph with the Garrett.

If you can get it hot (1500F) racing to 110 MPH, why wouldnt it get hot towing ?
