My next mod question

05lanceralliart · Jun 16, 2009, 07:28 PM

I am looking at getting either RRM header down pipe assy or the piggy back ECU. I currently have RRM SRI and pulley installed. With those mods and the ECU would my exhaust be holding power back from me? I have read that both the ECU and header down pipe assy are really great mod both giving great gains. I am stuck on the fence. Anyone wanna help in my next plan of attack?

Calgary is Canada right? Your elevation and average temperatures are probably a lot different than where the base tune for the piggyback was tuned for, California. If you don't have a tuner in your area to get your car tuned try to find someone in your area that has gotten the RRM piggy and see how their car responded to it.

There both great mods. But as stated if you are not planning on getting the piggy tuned then I would hold off and get the header. Do you plan on doing other mods aswell? If so you will need to get your piggy tuned every time to take full advantage.

Just wait for the reflash

Ha, I used to live in Calgary in Ranchlands (NW). That was 25 years ago and from what I hear Ranchlands is a slum now... My bro lives in Edmonton. There are a few shops there with troublesome turbo cars who want to convert over to a reflash so I might be flown out there at some point. I will have to see. Seems like a bit of a trip from Calgary to Edmonton but if you don't have a huge number of internal engine mods an off the shelf tune should be more than acceptable.
