[BoostBuilder]

What is year of the vehicle and anything else done to it mod wise

I am so sorry. I should have included that.

It is a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT ADW:
Ripp Supercharger Kit (Vortech V3-Si)
Dyno Tune ECM & TCM ? expired
Smaller Blower Pulley (+3psi boost)
UR MAXX Crank Lightweight Pulley
Ripp Ignition Coils
BBK 78MM Throttle body
Pug lower intake
Port matched Upper intake
FIC 1000cc Injectors
Walbro 470lph fuel pump
Proflex Commander flex fuel sensor

Stock trans, gears etc.

It was dyno tuned prior to Smaller Boost pulley, Walbro pump and 1000cc injectors.

What is year of the vehicle and anything else done to it mod wise

attached is my log.
MJH Rev 1 MBT Fail
and tune
MJH 4-27 rev 1
I had stuttering around the 11 min mark, 13:11 and 15:50-16:00. I tried to play with the MBT but that didn't go well.

So I went back and tuned and got this log which ran better but has random PT stutter. MJH rev 2 Drive home

Tune for this change is MJH 4-27 Rev 2. the fuel trims on this tune are pretty good.


it is not letting me attach the logs yet

5.7 vs 6.2/6.4 VVT
https://forum.hptuners.com/showthrea...-6-2-cam/page2

An FCA workbook that describes how VVT (VCT) works. Basically when the OCV is 0% PWM the cam is in lock pin (full intake advance) and when it is at 100% it is full intake retard.

Nice article where 3 different cams with identical lift but different LSA are compared.

VVT tuning from The Tuning School which apparently shows some gain in tweaking VVT on what I guess is a stock motor. As for their dodge tuning course book, VVT is really not discussed in detail.

If you try to change tire size and get an ABS error...try a different bypass cable and/or software like Alfaobd.

[LilSick]

read a lot look compare trial and error

does it have stock pistons?

[ElecTape]

I am so sorry. I should have included that.

It is a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT ADW:
Ripp Supercharger Kit (Vortech V3-Si)
Dyno Tune ECM & TCM ? expired
Smaller Blower Pulley (+3psi boost)
UR MAXX Crank Lightweight Pulley
Ripp Ignition Coils
BBK 78MM Throttle body
Pug lower intake
Port matched Upper intake
FIC 1000cc Injectors
Walbro 470lph fuel pump
Proflex Commander flex fuel sensor

Stock trans, gears etc.

It was dyno tuned prior to Smaller Boost pulley, Walbro pump and 1000cc injectors.

@BoostBuilder? How do you like the Proflex Commander setup? I've thought about getting one to be able to go Flex Fuel on a single map.

I held off after I went by to go check out the shop since I'm not far away. I'm guessing it's the metal building in the guy's backyard out in the middle of the country. I wasn't expecting that after talking to them on the phone and just became a little leery.

[LilSick]

Lol

What the building looks like from the outside has nothing to do with how quick the cars that come out of it are
