Ted,
Can you speak on how your tunes affect the dreaded "M6 bog" pulling out in 1st gear? On my 18 SS 1LE it's quite annoying and was wondering how big of a difference it will make. Do you recommend any other bolt-ons to help with this issue or will a tune 100% take care of it? Thanks, Mark |

I hear people talking about this all the time, I drive hundreds of Gen6 camaros and ZL-1s including my own, with the M6 and I have yet to experience any bog maybe It is my driving style. Bogs are typical when a clutch is engaged to quickly and not smoothly with any car and I don't see anything special about this model. There is only so much torque any engine can produce at 1000 rpm and it is easily overcome with too much clutch with no tire slippage. Something has to give either the clutch must slip or the tire must slip or any engine will bog when coupled too quickly. In drag racing I leave the starting line at 7000 rpm full throttle, My clutch has to slip all the way to the 60 ft clocks or my tires will spin or my engine will bog. It is no different leaving from a traffic light only on a much smaller scale, clutch engagement must be smooth to match the road speed with the engine speed smoothly. Basically the tire has to catch up to the engine with a smooth transition of the clutch. Now on to a different take. If the computer is pulling too much timing on launch then that can be addressed through logging and tuning. Proper calibration can address a lot of weird things that people experience but we must first be able to duplicate the problem, Log the problem, Determine if it is Human error or calibration error then fix either. This article also backs up what I am saying. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=520373

The throttle is more responsive as you toggle through the modes. Ted.

So if I run in track mode and things feel better... you can make that a constant through all modes after tuning? |

What is better tuner for the ss Camaro, hp tuners or sct in our opinion? I'm trying to learn the whole process, so down the line, when I do have someone tune it, i will know what to do and what is needed.

Providing both software have the same capability then there is no difference. Year model engine, trans and mod list have a very strong effect on my decision of which device I will use. 2016 Manual cars and all Gen5 cars the SCT X4 is my go to and is a Great choice. 2017 up and especially auto cars need to move to HPtuners for full support of ECM TCM tuning. Ted.

Hi Ted. Let me start this off by saying I'm in no way doubting your tuning skills or knowledge. From what I've seen on this forum the amount of positive feedback for you is enough to sell me your services. Now for the questions. I am to believe that for the absolute best tune you should tune the car on a dyno, being that 15 2017 Camaro SS's with A8 and the same bolt ons, all will behave slightly different and have a very small difference in tune. Do you feel this is true? I went to your site and checked on the price for the HPTuner and 4 credits with Minor bolt ons. I have not yet inquired with anyone local as to the cost of actual dyno tuning. I imagine tuning on a dyno would cost more. Would say the extra cost for actual tuning on the dyno is not worth it due to the limited modifications to the car? To be exact, 1 7/8 longtube headers, high flow cats to stock NPP muffler with a cai and possible ported throttle body. At this stage losing a few HP and saving a decent amount of money would always be nice.
Thanks Mike |

Getting the best tune is about 2 things Data collection and the Tuners, Experience and willingness to put in the work necessary to achieve perfection. I don't think you will find anyone more experienced or dedicated to perfection. As long as you have the tools, HPtuners, SCT or the like a wide band and are willing to put in your end of the work we can achieve perfection. Ted.

For example, will the speed limiter be removed in any mode driven, or only in a particular mode...I know, redundant question...OCD!
