I have been wanting to get my Z tuned for a while but there arent really any shops in my area that I would trust to do so. I was wondering how hard it is to get familiar with the SS box software as I would like to tune my Z myself. Anyone with experience please chime in. thanks!

 

There are alot of great shops in FL, Id make a drive to one of them. Japtrix? If you dont know what youre doing, that can lead to boom!

 

SS has a guide on tuning on their web site. It can get you started.

 

Japtrix is a great place, you can pm westpak on here, his name is Gus

 

Japtrix is quite far away from me and im really busy with school and work so getting down to japtrix would be pretty tough.

The [ U-tune ] file wil help you understand the software better . It's scary to try to start to change anything on your own . If you have used and tuned other EMS's it will not be hard . I watched and learned from the first Dyno operator I went to . Started doing my self after that . Last time I had my shop tune it and found I was doing everything the same as he was .
You will need some way to log A/F , TP , RPM , and boost . The R4 will log ....TP, RPM, Timing ,boost , and fuel delivery . But doesnt log A/F .
What I have found was . I could tune with my Zeitronix logger , and If I couldnt hit a certain spot in the A/F . Meaning ..I change an area and nothing happens . I will log a run or two with the R4 and see exactly what cell the fuel and timing was at in the area I was having trouble hitting or changing .

 

Thanks for the advice booger, i have an innovative wideband so logging A/F was not a problem. Maybe I will try and make time to visit japtrix and take notes while im there. THey seem to have a great rep here in FL.
