    Post Your Dodge 2011 - 2014 Chargrer Tunes? GPEC2 PCM & Matching TCM's Please?

    We don't have many examples out there.
    Some of us learn by examples and like to do compares to see how others have calibrated their tunes and how they like it.
    All disclaimers apply of course.
    Please post up the year model and describe your goals and results.

    Thanks,

    Thank You. I hope you do transmission calibration as well, its tough to learn MOPAR coming from GM.

    Good Luck, We wait.

    This is a '14 Charger. THe car was previously running a canned 93 Diablo tune and had an appointment to have a dealership look at his car for what was described as, "hemi tick." It wasn't that at all. It was massive knock from too much timing.

    He just has a CAI, catch can and resonator delete.

    Dynamite! I was beginning to feel lost. Thank You. I'll make it a study.

    Thanks! Can you give a brief on the targeted behavior the calibration on engine and trans if you did both?

    On the dyno, we find the "D" 91 octane tune to be much better than the 93 octane tune.
    93 is too agressive.

    These dodges have very sensitive knock sensor calibration.

    Agreed 100% The Charger owner was initially very happy to listen and hear that his noise was gone. Then he became even more happy when I explained what it was. I don't understand why anyone would publish that 93 tune considering how horrible it is for our vehicles.

    At a high level I simply wanted to improve responsiveness through the throttle spark and pedal %. He has already changed his pedal % using his Diablo so I didn't touch it.
    Removed as much torque management as I know.
    Changed him from ANN to using VE tables.
    Reverted timing back to stock initially
    Started him with VE tables about 10% higher in the 70 PR and below
    Starting with the 2222 range, Bumped his VE cells at 95 - 100 PR up to 97 100 103 105 105 103 104 97 97
    He does not have a wideband and I hate not seeing AFR but we set stoich to .0680 and his PE_Enrich to .0112 in order to target a 12.5 AFR. Without a wideband, I monitored knock and O2's to get the O2's up to 900. Again, not a normal way to do things but he currently has No Knock so at least he is safe.
    No changes to the transmission / shift points / rev limiter. No changes to DFCO but we did set his ECT Rear up to remove the rear O2s from Closed Loop.
    Monitored and tightened up his part throttle fuel trims and bumped his timing up.

    He will hit the dyno on Saturday so we will see how well he does. I would love for him to do run 1 with a stock tune, run 2 with his 93 tune and his last run with his current tune.

    Great stuff and hope to hear about the dyno sessions and more as you move forward.
    No 91 octane around here, I run 89 on the factory tune.

    Good stuff. I take it he will be scanning under normal driving and some WOT runs to check for KR?

    I did that when I tuned him. He has no knock. We are going to slightly lean him out a little and monitor.

    Thank You Guys,

    I got a 93 octane dyno tune that netted 10HP & 10TQ more and is lots more fun to drive.
    362.3HP/389.58TQ.

    As I asked for in my OP here is my tune.

    Thanks
