Shipping Questions How do I ship my computer to get tuned at Wester's Garage? When you are wanting a custom tune by Wester's Garage and we require your computer, you must follow shipping instructions carefully! This will help get your computer here the best way and by the fastest means possible! Please click HERE to read our shipping instructions for a computer that is going to be tuned and then sent back! Why am I being charged extra for a "Core"? When you purchase a custom tune from Wester's Garage and we send you a computer for your vehicle, you are required to send your vehicle's original computer back to us. If you have not returned a core PCM, and our records indicate you haven't, you no longer get free updates. If your core is not returned after 30 days, you cannot receive it for credit -- you've paid for it. When you've paid for your core (non-return or wish to own your stock calibration), you must return the performance PCM when a reburn or update is desired. If your core is shipped and received damaged, we'll take a photo of it and email it to you. It will be returned. We do not accept damaged cores. Damaged cores are considered to be in the following condition(s): -- Physical Pin Damage -- Connector damage or crushed to where the connectors can no longer provide a weather seal -- Non-communicating (not able to reprogram) If the core you send us did not come from your vehicle, it will be tagged with your name on it, arrival date, and checked to determine functionality. We do not accept damaged cores (whether internal or external). It is in your best interest to ensure the returned core comes from your truck to avoid core charges. Presently, we have a couple hundred non-functioning computers from prior clients. I don't know how to send back my "Core" Please see our Shipping Instructions page for Return Shipping Information. Will This Affect My Warranty? If you are unsure about warranty issues you may be faced with, please read this TSB that GM produced in 2007 here. What Is Torque Management? PURPOSE: Torque Management is a function of the PCM that reduces engine power under certain conditions. Torque Management is performed for three reasons; 1) To prevent overstress of powertrain components, 2) To limit engine power when brakes are applied, and 3) To prevent damage to the vehicle during certain abusive maneuvers. OPERATION: The PCM uses manifold vacuum, intake air temperature, spark retard, engine speed, engine coolant temperature, A/C clutch status, and EGR valve position to calculate engine output torque. It then looks at torque converter status, transaxle gear ratio, and brake switch inputs and determines if any torque reduction is required, the PCM retards spark as appropriate to reduce engine torque output. In the case of abusive maneuvers, the PCM may also shut off fuel to certain cylinders to reduce engine power. DESCRIPTION: There are five instances when engine power reduction is likely to be experienced: • During transaxle upshifts and downshifts • Heavy acceleration from a standing start • If brakes are applied with moderate to heavy throttle • If brakes are applied and brake booster vacuum is low • When the driver is performing stress-inducing (abusive) maneuvers such as shifting into gear at high throttle angles. In the first two instances, the driver is unlikely to even notice the Torque Management actions. In the other three cases, engine power output will be moderate at full throttle. When the PCM determines that engine power reduction is required, it calculates the amount of spark retard necessary to reduce power by the desired amount. This spark retard is then subtracted from the current spark advance. In the case of abusive maneuvers, the fuel injectors for cylinders 1, 4, 6, and 7 will also be disabled for a period of time. What Is Horsepower? Just about every car advertisement on TV mentions it, people are talking about their cars always seem to have more than the other guy... But what is horsepower and what does it mean? The Definition: The term horsepower was invented by James Watt, who lived way back between 1736 and 1819. The story goes that Watt was working with strong draft horses carrying coal and he wanted a way to talk about the power available from one of these horses. Probably wanted to brag to his fellows about how he improved his horses' performance, right? He found that, on average, a horse could do 22,000 foot-pounds of work in a minute. For some odd reason, he then multiplied that number by 50% and pegged the measurement of horsepower at 33,000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. It is that strange, arbitrary unit of measure that has made its way down through the centuries and now appears on your car, your lawn mower, your chain saw, and even your vacuum cleaner and household blender. What horsepower means is this... In Watt's judgment, one horse at the coal mind can do 33,000 foot-pounds of work every minute (apparently those horses he observed doing 22,000 foot-pounds of work every minute were slackers and were sent out to LePages). A horse exerting one horsepower can raise 330 pounds of coal 100 feet in a minute, or 33 pounds of coal 1000 feed in one minute, or 1,000 pounds 33 feet in one minute, etc. You can make up whatever combination of feet and pounds you like - as long as the product is 33,000 in one minute and you have one horsepower. You can probably imagine that you would not want to load 33,000 pounds of coal in the bucket and ask the horse to move it one foot in a minute because the horse couldn't budge that big a load. You can probably also imagine that you would not want to put one pound of coal in the bucket and ask the horse to run 33,000 feet in one minute, since that translates into 375 miles per hour and most horses can't run that fast. If you have a block and tackle, you can easily trade "perceived weight" for distance using an arrangement of pulleys. So you could create a block and tackle system that puts a comfortable amount of weight on the horse at a comfortable speed no matter how much weight is actually in the bucket. Horsepower can be converted into other units. For example, one horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts or 2,545 BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour. So if you took a one-horsepower horse and put it on a treadmill, it could operate a generator producing a continuous 746 watts. If you took that 746 watts and ran it through an electric heater, it would produce 2,545 BTUs in an hour (where a BTU is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F). One BTU is equal to 1,055 joules, or 252 gram-calories, or 0.252 food Calories. Presumably the horse would burn 641 Calories in one hour doing its work if it were 100% efficient. Measuring Horsepower: If you want to know the horsepower of an engine, you hook the engine up to a dynamometer. Horsepower is pure theory--it's an arbitrary number. A dynamometer places a load on the engine and measures the amount of TORQUE that the engine can produce against the load. Some dynamometers measure the acceleration rate of a known mass at a given rate of speed--like a DynoJet. The basic formula used is: Force (ft/lbs) = MASS (lbs) X ACCELERATION (ft/second) Since the MASS of the roller is known, and the ACCELERATION rate can be measured with simple sensors, the resultant force exerted on the roller in "ft/lbs" is then calculated from the known values (mass x acceleration) although not physically measured. With in input from the engine such as RPM--we then input the data and make up "horsepower". There are other correction inputs like atmospheric pressure, humidity, etc...but we won't go into that here. The formula most widely accepted becomes: HP = Torque x RPM / 5252 To further the initial formula-if you can measure the acceleration rate, you can use a product like a G-Tech (www.gtech.com) to accurately calculate HP and Torque, without ever going to a dyno. "G-Tech" data and track times are normally within a fraction of each other, making this tuning/measuring method very accurate. But let's first talk a bit more about torque, since it's a tangible measurable force, and we'll explain dyno theory a little bit more. Torque Imagine that you have a big socket wrench with a 2-foot long handle on it and you it to apply 50 pounds of force to that 2-foot long handle. What you are doing is applying a torque, or turning force, of 100 foot-pounds (50 pounds to a 2 foot long handle) to the bolt. You could get the same 100 foot-pounds of torque by applying one pound of force to the end of a 100 foot handle or 100 pounds of force to a one foot long handle. Similarly, if you attach a shaft to an engine, the engine can apply torque to the shaft. A dynamometer measures this torque. Our MAHA dyno is computer controlled. The computer applies an "eddy current", controlling load to the rollers and actually "holds" the vehicle at a fixed wheel speed, no matter how hard you put your foot into it -- the vehicle axle speed is held there. You can vary the output with the amount of engine load applied at that speed by varying throttle angle. The output to the dyno screen is actual, real world, measured force (torque) delivered from the rear tires to the rollers. It's a pretty cool machine -- I can load the rollers to simulate pulling a load, or driving down the road, driving up an 8% grade, or just hold the vehicle at one speed (really nice for tuning). I've had a low 10 second 1996 Mustang on it which had been engine dyno'd on a Superflow Engine dyno at over 750 hp on alcohol -- tuned with pyrometers instead of air fuel ratios. Although the MAHA software has 500 HP limitations at this point, the MAHA dyno performed flawlessly--holding the Mustang at any speed we chose to maximize the state of tune. Here's a shot of Mike Williams (a car we previously built parts for and sponsored) '70.5 Camaro from a 2003 run at Mission, B.C. and ran a best 9.42 @ 142 MPH with a BBchevy and Turbo 400 transmission with Ford 9". Needless to say, he usually emptied the pits when he was up to run. I've personally programmed a different spark map on an engine with a SUPERCHIPS Race ICON, tried the best possible combination on a '99 Nissan Pathfinder Stillen model, and only gained 7 ft/lbs torque at the wheels. That wouldn't even be a tangible, "feelable" gain at the seat of your pants--but this dyno measured it--time after time. Before you think that the ICON doesn't work, I installed one on a 1995 S10 4.3 CPI with a 700R4 transmission and gained 95 ft/lbs of torque by retuning the spark map above 1800 RPM through 5500 rpm. If you plot the horsepower versus the RPM values for the engine, what you end up with is a horsepower curve for the engine. What a graph like this points out to you is that any engine has a peak horsepower - an RPM value at which the power available from the engine is at its maximum. An engine also has a peak torque at a specific RPM. You will often see this expressed in a brochure or a review in a magazine as "320 HP @ 6500 RPM, 290 ft-lb torque @ 5000 RPM" (the figures for the 1999 Shelby Series 1). When someone says an engine has "lots of low-end torque" what they mean is that the peak torque, like in a diesel application, occurs at a fairly low RPM value. Fuel Mileage Gains From Wester's Tune MILEAGE GAINS are one of the main reasons for consideration of getting a programmed ECU. The main reasons you and your car will get poor mileage is because of the following: 1. Driving faster than the speed limit. The drag co-efficient of the larger passenger car or truck of today still isn't fantastic. Therefore it requires more horsepower (and fuel) to displace air as you drive down the highway. It has been said that the difference between 55 MPH and 70 MPH can be 20% of your fuel costs. Frontal area is a very key factor in mileage and performance--just ask your NASCAR crew chief... yes, you will get better mileage if you follow that semi-trailer too closely, but that's not exactly a smart thing to do. MYTHBUSTERS YOUTUBE VIDEO 2. Tire inflation pressures incorrect. Although the manufacturer often recommends inflation pressures of a lower value, it requires more horsepower to roll a lower inflated tire down the road. You'll find that increasing inflation pressures so you get a more even tread wear pattern on your tire will also indicate the best 'tire contact' to the ground. Tires that wear more on the inside AND outside of the tread pattern indicate under inflation. A wear pattern in the centre of the tire indicates over inflation --but the mileage gains may offset tire replacement cost. You want good tire contact across the tread, without increasing TOTAL tire contact patch to the ground. The greater the contact patch -- the more friction -- the more heat -- the more total energy lost. 3. Engine state of tune. If you can't remember when you replaced your spark plugs or air filter--you may want to give them your attention. Stay away from 'fancy' plugs...all a spark plug does is provide a gap for the spark. Improper "spark plug reach" can inhibit mileage as much as 30%...so make sure the spark plug you buy was intended for the specific application. If there are any doubts--consult an application guide for your specific engine. The 8th digit in your VIN number identifies the engine family. A plugged air filter hurts performance...and if your vehicle has a MAF sensor, when you make it flow better--it'll actually use more fuel. So be conscious of your choices with FIPK retrofit kits or other inlet modifications. 4. Wheel Alignment. An alignment problem can be the equivalent of dragging your car sideways down the highway a couple of feet for every couple miles of driving. A real good indicator of alignment problems are the front tires. Here's a quick and simple test. Get a tire crayon and 'color' a 1" wide strip across the front of your tire from inside to outside. Do the same on the other front tire. Drive in a straight line for 100 feet (pavement or concrete) without turning your steering wheel . If the crayon is already scrubbed off the tire--you may want to consider a wheel alignment. This little test in no way indicates a proper alignment--but would indicate improper 'toe' alignment, which is the #1 tire wearing angle. This Toe check indicates if your tires are |// --- \\| toe in or |\\ --- //| toe out in relation to each other. Because of the complexity of today's automotive suspensions--take the vehicle to the experts. Do not attempt to adjust anything yourself. Insist on a 4-wheel alignment for a FWD car -- and a thrust align, or two wheel alignment for a rear wheel drive solid rear axle vehicle. 5. Cold driving -- Warm up. There is no 'real' advantage to fully warming up your engine before driving, other than using more fuel. This also applies to extended idling, etc...it's all wasted fuel. Try to consolidate trips to the store, school, work, errands....careful planning and execution of a route can safe fuel (and a lot of unnecessary mileage). Driving like you stole the vehicle will never help mileage--drive your vehicle like you've got an egg between your foot and the gas pedal...accelerate slowly. 6. Incorrect tire size. When you install a larger tire than what was original to the vehicle, you are actually requiring the engine to develop even MORE torque to maintain rolling resistance down the highway. Although we can correct the speedometer and odometer--don't expect mileage gains. 7. Decrease AIR!! This flies in the face of what is sold out there today, but if you can decrease the amount of air entering the engine (due to the fact that this is a closed loop system as of 1996 OBD2) you will use less fuel, too. Ideally, you want to maintain the same horsepower required to combat air friction, rolling mass losses, etc...but do it with LESS AIR!! Let me illustrate. A closed loop system maintains the air fuel ratio at 14.7 lbs air to 1 lb of fuel. This is maintained for idle, cruise and in some cases, even at wide open throttle. If you have 60 grams/sec air entering the engine at cruise, you're using 4.08 grams of fuel per second. If the cylinder pressures are increased without creating harmful exhaust by-products, or if these by-products are controlled by the catalytic converter, we can gain mileage by decreasing airflow through the engine while enhancing the spark curve to maintain the same rear wheel HP. On the chassis dyno, we can get vehicles down to 45-50 grams air/sec maintaining the same air fuel ratio, and same wheel HP as stock--and the overall result is less fuel consumed ! 45 g/secs works out to 3.06 g/fuel used in the same time period--or an almost 25% saving. We can't gain this in all vehicles of course--this example was resultant data from a 2007 6.0L HD 3500 GM truck. This flies in the face of every aftermarket product out there claiming that it saves fuel--you will never gain mileage by increasing airflow through a gasoline engine in a mass airflow type system. Because we carefully remap the spark curve with a remapped ECU, we in effect are increasing cylinder pressure without adding fuel. Increased cylinder pressure translates into more useable torque and power to maintain the power required for 'rolling resistance' of the vehicle down the road. The increase in horsepower often results in better fuel economy--although we do not guarantee mileage gains--as we cannot determine how YOU drive, and what your driving habits are. Diesels are a different story...we need to stuff as much air in the cylinder as possible--and create maximum cylinder pressure at diesel injection point, use all the heat energy created to maximize pressure while keeping the total combustion event in the cylinder prior to exhaust valve opening. Smoke is wasted energy...in reality, diesels can actually run as low as 100lbs of air to 1 lb of fuel--although there's not enough heat energy created at that ratio. There's no magic air fuel ratio for diesel--leaner operation does not create damage, it just won't make power. Therefore, you need a balance of fuel, best boost and proper timing to make the diesel efficient. Lyndon Wester, Owner, Wester's Garage Check www.epa.gov for fuel mileage hoaxes. Here's a good read from the Federal Trade Commission: "Gas-Saving" Products: Fact or Fuelishness? Gas prices are up, and so is the volume of advertising for "gas-saving" products. When gasoline prices rise, consumers often look for ways to improve fuel efficiency. Although there are practical steps you can take to increase gas mileage, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns you to be wary of any gas-saving claims for automotive devices or oil and gas additives. Even for the few gas-saving products that have been found to work, the savings have been small. "Gas-Saving" Advertising Claims. Be sceptical of the following kinds of advertising claims. "This gas-saving product improves fuel economy by 20 percent." Claims usually tout savings ranging from 12 to 25 percent. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has evaluated or tested more than 100 alleged gas-saving devices and has not found any product that significantly improves gas mileage. In fact, some "gas-saving" products may damage a car's engine or cause substantial increases in exhaust emissions. The gas-saving products on the market fall into clearly defined categories. Although the EPA has not tested or evaluated every product, it has tried to examine at least one product in each category. See "Devices Tested by EPA" at the end of this brochure for category descriptions and product names. "After installing your product on my car, I got an extra 4 miles [6.4 kilometres] per gallon [3.8 litres]." Many ads feature glowing testimonials by satisfied customers. Yet, few consumers have the ability or the equipment to test for precise changes in gas mileage after installing a gas-saving product. Many variables affect fuel consumption, including traffic, road and weather conditions, and the car's condition. For example, one consumer sent a letter to a company praising its "gas-saving" product. At the time the product was installed, however, the consumer also had received a complete engine tune-up - a fact not mentioned in the letter. The entire increase in gas mileage attributed to the "gas-saving" product may well have been the result of the tune-up alone. But from the ad, other consumers could not have known that. "This gas-saving device is approved by the Federal government." No government agency endorses gas-saving products for cars. The most that can be claimed in advertising is that the EPA has reached certain conclusions about possible gas savings by testing the product or by evaluating the manufacturer's own test data. If the seller claims that its product has been evaluated by the EPA, ask for a copy of the EPA report, or check www.epa.gov for information. In some instances, false claims of EPA testing or approval have been made. Product Complaints and Refunds If you're dissatisfied with a gas-saving product, contact the manufacturer and ask for a refund. Most companies offer money-back guarantees. Contact the company, even if the guarantee period has expired. If you're not satisfied with the company's response, contact your local or state consumer protection agency or the Better Business Bureau. Shifting Gears: Real Money-Saving Steps There are numerous no- or low-cost steps you can take to combat rising gas prices. The most important place to start is at the gas pump; buy only the octane level gas you need. All gas pumps must post the octane rating of the gas under the FTC's Fuel Rating Rule. Remember, the higher the octane, the higher the price. Check your owner's manual to determine the right octane level for your car. Here are some additional tips from the EPA to help you get better gas mileage. Drive more efficiently Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph), rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent. Driving at 75 mph, rather than 65 mph, increases fuel consumption by another 25 percent. Use overdrive gears. Overdrive gears improve the fuel economy of your car during highway driving. Your car's engine speed decreases when you use overdrive. This reduces both fuel consumption and engine wear. Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption. Anticipate driving situations. If you anticipate traffic conditions and don't tailgate, you can avoid unnecessary braking and acceleration, and improve your fuel economy by 5 to 10 percent. In city driving, nearly 50 percent of the energy needed to power your car goes to acceleration. Go easy on the gas pedal and brakes. "Jack-rabbit" starts and sudden stops are wasteful. Avoid unnecessary idling. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy wait. No matter how efficient your car is, unnecessary idling wastes fuel, costs you money and pollutes the air. Combine errands. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as one trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Remove excess weight from the trunk. Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by one to two percent. Maintain Your Car Keep your engine tuned. Studies have shown that a poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 to 20 percent depending on a car's condition. Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual; you'll save fuel and your car will run better and last longer. Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned. Car manufacturers must place a label in the car stating the correct tire pressure. The label usually is on the edge of the door or door jamb, in the glove box, or on the inside of the gas cap cover. If the label lists a psi (pounds per square inch) range, use the higher number to maximize your fuel efficiency. Under inflated tires cause fuel consumption to increase by six percent. Change your oil. Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine. Change your oil as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Check and replace air filters regularly. Your car's air filter keeps impurities in the air from damaging internal engine components. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter improve your fuel economy, it also will protect your engine. Clogged filters can cause up to a 10 percent increase in fuel consumption. Consider buying a fuel efficient vehicle Deciding which vehicle to buy may be the most important fuel economy decision you make. The difference between a car that gets 20 MPG (miles per gallon) and one that gets 30 MPG amounts to $1,500 over 5 years, assuming gas costs $1.50 per gallon and you drive 15,000 miles a year. Visit www.fueleconomy.gov for more information. You'll find gas mileage estimates and other data from EPA for 1985-2003 model year cars. EPA Evaluation Efforts The EPA evaluates or tests products to determine whether their use will result in any significant improvement or detriment to fuel economy. However, the EPA cannot say what effect gas-saving products will have on a vehicle over time because it hasn't conducted any durability tests. It's possible that some products may harm the car or may otherwise adversely affect its performance. In fact, today's vehicles' emission control systems are very sophisticated and complex. They have On Board Diagnostic features that alert the driver to problems associated with the emission control and fuel delivery systems. Retrofit products may have an adverse effect on these systems. Devices Tested by EPA The following list categorizes various types of "gas-saving" products, explains how they're used and gives product names. Those with asterisks may save measurable, but small, amounts of gas. All others have been found not to increase fuel economy. Air Bleed Devices. These devices bleed air into the carburetor. They usually are installed in the Positive Crankcase Ventilation line or as a replacement for idle-mixture screws. The EPA has evaluated the following products: ADAKS Vacuum Breaker Air Bleed; Air-Jet Air Bleed; Aquablast Wyman Valve Air Bleed; Auto-Miser; Ball-Matic Air Bleed; Berg Air Bleed; Brisko PCV; Cyclone-Z; Econo Needle Air Bleed; Econo-Jet Air Bleed Idle Screws; Fuel Max*; Gas Saving Device; Grancor Air Computer; Hot Tip; Landrum Mini-Carb; Landrum Retrofit Air Bleed; Mini Turbocharger Air Bleed; Monocar HC Control Air Bleed; Peterman Air Bleed; Pollution Master Air Bleed; Ram-Jet; Turbo-Dyne G.R. Valve. Vapour Bleed Devices. These devices are similar to the air bleed devices, except that induced air is bubbled through a container of a water and anti-freeze mixture, usually located in the engine compartment. The EPA has evaluated: Atomized Vapour Injector; Frantz Vapour Injection System; Hydro-Vac: POWERFUeL; Mark II Vapour Injection System; Platinum Gasaver; V-70 Vapour Injector; SCATPAC Vacuum Vapour Induction System: Econo-Mist Vacuum Vapour Injection System; Turbo Vapour Injection System. Liquid Injection. These products add liquid into the fuel/air intake system and not directly into the combustion chamber. The EPA has evaluated: Goodman Engine System-Model 1800; Waag-Injection System*. Ignition Devices. These devices are attached to the ignition system or are used to replace original equipment or parts. The EPA has evaluated: Autosaver; Baur Condenser; BIAP Electronic Ignition Unit; Fuel Economizer; Magna Flash Ignition Control System; Paser Magnum/Paser 500/Paser 500 HEI; Special Formula Ignition Advance Springs.

The EPA has evaluated: FuelXpander; Gas Meiser I; Greer Fuel Preheater; Jacona Fuel System; Optimizer; Russell Fuelmiser. Fuel Line Devices (magnets). These magnetic devices, clamped to the outside of the fuel line or installed in the fuel line, claim to change the molecular structure of gasoline. The EPA has evaluated: PETRO-MIZER; POLARION-X; Super-Mag Fuel Extender; Wickliff Polarizer [fuel line magnet/intake air magnet]. Fuel Line Devices (metallic). Typically, these devices contain several dissimilar metals that are installed in the fuel line, supposedly causing ionization of the fuel. The EPA has evaluated: Malpassi Filter King [fuel pressure regulator]; Moleculetor. Mixture Enhancers (under the carburetor). These devices are mounted between the carburetor and intake manifold and supposedly enhance the mixing or vaporization of the air/fuel mixture. The EPA has evaluated: Energy Gas Saver; Environmental Fuel Saver; Gas Saving and Emission Control Improvement Device; Glynn-50; Hydro-Catalyst Pre-Combustion Catalyst System; PETROMIZER SYSTEM; Sav-A-Mile; Spritzer; Turbo-Carb; Turbocarb. Mixture Enhancers (others). These devices make some general modifications to the vehicle intake system. The EPA has evaluated: Basko Enginecoat; Dresser Economizer; Electro-Dyne Superchoke; Filtron Urethane Foam Filter; Lamkin Fuel Metering Device; Smith Power and Deceleration Governor. Internal Engine Modifications. These devices make physical or mechanical function changes to the engine. The EPA has evaluated: ACDS Automotive Cylinder Deactivation System*; Dresser Economizer; MSU Cylinder Deactivation*. Accessory Drive Modifiers. These devices reduce power to specific auto accessories. The EPA has evaluated: Morse Constant Speed Accessory Drive **; P.A.S.S. Kit**; PASS Master Vehicle Air Conditioner**. Fuels and Fuel Additives. These materials are added to the gas tank. The EPA has evaluated: Bycosin; EI-5 Fuel Additive; Fuelon Power; Johnson Fuel Additive; NRG #1 Fuel Additive; QEI 400 Fuel Additive; Rolfite Upgrade Fuel Additive; Sta-Power Fuel Additive; Stargas Fuel Additive; SYNeRGy-1; Technol G Fuel Additive; ULX-15/ULX-15D; Vareb 10 Fuel Additive; XRG #1 Fuel Additive. Oils and Oil Additives. Usually these materials are poured into the crankcase. The EPA has evaluated: Analube Synthetic Lubricant; Tephguard. Driving Habit Modifiers. These are lights or sound devices to tell the driver to reduce acceleration or to shift gears. The EPA has evaluated: AUTOTHERM**; Fuel Conservation Device; Gastell; IDALERT**. Miscellaneous. The EPA has evaluated: BRAKE-EZ; Dynamix; Fuel Maximiser; Gyroscopic Wheel Cover; Kamei Spoilers**; Kat's Engine Heater; Lee Exhaust and Fuel Gasification EGR; Mesco Moisture Extraction System; P.S.C.U. 01 Device; Treis Emulsifier. * Indicated a very small improvement in fuel economy but with an increase in exhaust emissions. According to Federal regulations, installation of this device could be considered illegal tampering. ** Indicated a very small improvement in fuel economy without an increase in exhaust emissions. However, cost-effectiveness must be determined by the consumer for a particular application. For More Information.

Rides, TESTIMONIALS, & Shop News/History We have had great feedback, news about our business, and various events and things here. Testimonials Testimonials Matt M. - 2001 8.1L Chevy Truck "Hello Lyndon hope you are well. "I have done some work on my truck and am in need of a retune. I have installed a new cam in my 2001 Chevy truck. I also did some head work I opened the exhaust ports a little and smoothed out the intake radius some nothing major. I also would like the throttle sensitivity turned up. The cam I put in this time is a smaller one its a Raylar bp 202. The intake specs are .520 lift 228 duration 112 centerline, the exhaust specs are .544 lift 236 duration 120 centerline other than that everything is the same. Any questions call me at ***-***-**** I am working a day shift now so I may not be able to email as fast. "Thank you, Matt M." True Blue Motorsports "First off, I finally got everything installed on the workstation laptops and I LOVE this software. YOU ARE THE MAN. This is soo much easier and faster than the HPTuner and even EFI Live, (with regards to reading and programming, at least). I can't wait to start testing the custom calibrations you have now that I am getting the hang of it. Tuning is another matter. :)" Ross C. - 8.1L Via Phone Very happy customer! WAS: 23.8 L/100 km at 105 km/h Cruise NOW: 17.8 L/100 km at 125 km/h Cruise! "I got power back!" Alex T. J. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP From our Email: Lyndon! How have things been going? Sorry I have been so bad about communicating this season, but it has been busy and going very well! I just want to give you an update on how the car has been doing and our future plans for the sport (possible big news!) Changes to car this year The big thing we worked on this year was some aero dynamic items. If you remember last year we were using carbon fiber rear spoiler. This year we developed a front splitter for the car to help with the front end down force at higher speeds (see picture). This went through a couple versions changing the material and height of the splitter. The splitter is now made of di-bond. It’s a light weight material made of two very thin sheets of aluminum with a polyethylene core. Events up to the National Championships The car has been running very well this year. Locally I am leading the overall points race. Nationally we have been doing very well too. Tim, my co-driver, took 3rd place at the Toledo Pro Solo. I took 2nd at the Peru National tour. I was leading the first day but fell back the second day by 0.2 seconds! Frustrating, but the driver (also a good friend) who beat me is very good and won a National Championship this year. The car has been flawless this entire season! Only problem we had was an overheating issues we had at a local event right before the national championships. The engine coolant temperature sensor is located very close to the turbo down pipe. If the protective cover is not slipped over the ECT sensor it will melt. This caused to the ECU to think the engine was running about 35°F cooler than it was and wouldn’t turn on the fan. Replaced the sensor and connector and wrapped the down pipe in exhaust wrap to help keep the temps under hood down. Problem solved. As always the car gets noticed at events and on the trailer to events. Lots of questions about it. Like before, I make sure I plug Wester’s Garage for unlocking the power potential of the car! National Championships Last week was the SCCA national championships in Lincoln, Nebraska. After the first day I was sitting 3rd place and 0.004 seconds out of 2nd place and 0.303 out of first. Tim was back in 6th place. The second day brought 25°F cooler temperatures and spitting rain. This didn’t help us against the class dominant All Wheel Drive Mitsubishi EVOs. I ended up falling back to 4th place but Tim picked up a spot and took 5th. Tim and I took the last 2 trophy spots but were still disappointed since we would have rather been in a podium position or better yet 1st place! In the overall results we were very happy. I finished 93rd and Tim finished 100th out of almost 1200 competitors. Many of the people we finished ahead of are multi time national champions. Future Plans I had tossed the idea around for a while about prepping the car for a higher performance class, F-Prepared. This class takes production based cars and turns them into non-streetable machines. One of the major modifications is weight reduction. We will be able remove the convertible top, strip the interior, remove the windshield (no turning back after that) and light weight composite body panels One of the big items/cost is tires. Even though I am a Test Engineer for Cooper Tire we did not make a tire I could use for the current class (had to be DOT Rated). Hoosier was one of the only tires I could use. Looking at running in F-Prepared I can run any tire I want. Well, Cooper Tire and Avon are the same company and Avon makes some really good/fast race slicks. I discussed the idea of Cooper providing these tires and re-branding them with the Cooper name instead of Avon. This would provide for better marketing in US since Avon is primarily a European operation. This will aid us immensely since the Avon tires are the fastest one’s out there (I feel very lucky to work for this company!) We have some stuff to sort through on this before we fully decide to take on the endeavor. If this happens I will be joined by one of my co-workers and 2-time national champ Chris Raglin. As the car sits right now I would have taken 4th in F-Prepared so we are hoping for total domination of the class in the next years :D Again, I hope everything has been going great for you. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy working with you. Let me now if there is anything I can do for you guys! John - 2003 Envoy Computer in Offroad Vehicle Lyndon, Doubt you remember me, but I was the guy from the US that was having all the trouble with his 2003 Envoy computer and you were helping troubleshoot over the phone. At one point I promised you some pictures when it was done. I was traveling in Australia for a year, but I am back now. Well, it's still not really done. I don't think these projects are ever as good as you want them to be, but I got it running right before I went to Australia, and it is a beast. I was looking for another old email to get some more parts I need now, and it reminded me I owed you pictures, so here are a few, if you are curious. 1. Inboard breaks on Ford IRS 8.8's with 4.10 gears (posis and lockers of course) 2. Custom gas tank and remote radiator 3. Independent suspension all the way around with 18" travel in front and 25" in the rear 4. The dash board you helped me with (was in a hurry when I made the case... I'll fix it some day, but it all works except the speedometer) Anyway, thanks for your help. Russell - Hi Lyndon- I have finalized my mod list. These are all of the mods to my truck that I want to incorporate into the tune: Whipple Supercharger kit made for 96-98 Vortec 454 as delivered (unmodified). The kit advertises 5-7lbs of boost for this application. 42lb matched injectors supplied by you. 78mm bored throttle body from Xtreme-FI Flex-a-lite dual fan kit PN 280 with manually adjustable on/off fan control. I will adjust this as needed 180 degree thermostat Stock cam, stock heads, stock internals - engine has never been opened up Stock fuel pump Edelbrock TES shorty headers High flow replacement catalytic converters Magnaflow dual 3" in / single 3" out muffler Performance distributors firepower vortec ignition w/wires New AC Delco platinum replacement plugs gapped to .050 5.13 differential gears (stock ratio was 4.10) 37" tires - Toyo Open Country MT. Specs (from their website): Diameter = 37 Transmission: 4L80E with B&M trans pan and external HD cooler. It was rebuilt and supposedly beefed up 10k miles ago. The truck is a toy. It weighs about 7,500lbs. I use it for hauling/towing mostly and drive it to work occasionally. I tow a 7,000lb tow behind trailer with a fully loaded bed several thousand miles a year. I live in Southern California a few hundred feet above sea level. When towing I can see altitudes of around 7k feet over some passes with some decent grades. Outside temps here in SoCal are mainly between 70-90 with 20-30% humidity. I spend little time in winter conditions; just short jaunts to visit family in the mountains. The truck has no 'pre-existing conditions'. It doesn't have any existing trouble codes. I get about 12MPG now in highway driving while unloaded (not too shabby for a lifted truck). The engine runs cool with temps between 200-210F. The engine doesn't burn oil. I still need to pass California emissions tests once a year. I have datalogging capability as you know. AFR, EGT, OBD-II data, Boost. Please let me know what if any data you need when I start running the charger to make sure we have a good tune. I attached a few pictures of the truck for you. If you need any more information, please let me know. Otherwise, I look forward to getting the updated ECM and getting the charger bolted up! Thanks Jeff - TBSS Hey Lyndon just wanted to drop a line had fun this summer. You tuned my TBSS last year with a mild tune for premium with a 100 shot. During the summer with nitrous timing adjustments managed a 13.2@112mph up from the 15.4@92 stock numbers. Transmission is even still solid. Great work on the tune. Almost off power train warranty so may need a new tune in the future after some hard parts get swapped out. Maybe try to get into the 12’s. Cheers Mark - 1931 Model A with 1996 LT1 Computer Hi Lyndon, I had a 1996 LT1 computer tuned by you for my 1931 Model A. At that time I said I wanted as rough an idle as possible given my camshaft and you delivered such a tune ( sounds great). I had also modified the intake such that it essentially was a ram-air setup with a hood scoop. (pics attached). At that time you mentioned given this setup there might be some problems with the mass air flow getting confused. Well, I do get the odd stumble like a miss. When I removed the mass air flow from the equation so it was forced to run speed density this goes away. So after driving the car like this for a few years and almost 20,000 miles, I've decided that I'm ready to give up the lumpy idle and stumble and was wondering if there would be a cost and if so how much for you to put a normal tune for an LT1 hot cam and also change it over to speed density. thanks in advance Alex T. J. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Lyndon, We competed at the SCCA Northern States Championship this last weekend in Toledo, Ohio with great results! This was the largest Solo event so far this year with 354 competitors. I took 1st place in my class by 1.202 seconds over a very good Mitsubishi EVO driver (and a fellow friend), Corey Ridgick. http://www.scca.com/popup/raceresult.aspx?event=17145&file=1331 [Link no longer available] Scroll down to B-Street Prepared On the overall Indexed results I placed 5th There is another type of indexed results call SNAP. This one actually placed me in the #1 position out of all 354 people. On a different note there was another GXP there running a competitors tune for E85. He boasted about 420 ft-lbs of torque… but could only go to 6000 rpm before it would break apart. I told him he was shooting himself in the foot by limiting the RPM. It was bad enough that after the first day of competition he emptied his fuel and re-tuned it for 93 octane. We had our second local event for the year on Sunday. Despite the cruddy weather it attracted people to drive 5 hours for the strong competition. I was able to take 2nd overall, would've had 1st but I coned it away on my 4th run. Overall results can be found here: http://www.nworscca.com/attachments/results/2011/2011_e2_index.htm Thanks again, I get questions/comments about the car all the time and make sure to give you credit for uncorking the power! 1995 6.5 Turbo Diesel Customer Recently you did a program for a customer with a 1500 GMC which had the Holset turbo, modified exhaust manifolds and cryogenically frozen crank..... Ring a bell? Name P********? Anyway, he called to say it is working great, also dropped his 1/4 time by over 2 seconds. He's very pleased with the results. Larry - 2007 Acadia Hello Lyndon, I thought I would give you some feedback on the tuning you did to my 2007 GMC Acadia. The gas mileage has improved by 2 L/100km at speeds of both 100 and 115 kph on the highway. I have not kept track of the mileage in the city yet, but it seems to be much improved. The bottom end torque in stop and go city traffic is greatly improved. It is a night and difference from what it used to be. It definitely gets up and goes with far less effort when the traffic light changes. On the highway the engine holds its speed (rpm) a lot better. It use to always loose power going up even small hills which would force the transmission to always kick down. Now it just sails along without all the down and up shifting of the transmission. It still will kick down to a lower gear on the larger hills but this is normal. The only thing I'm not sure about yet is it seems it may stay in 5th gear too long on the highway after it has shifted down for a hill and the vehicle has returned to level ground. Not sure. It just might have been a crosswind that was giving me grief. I'm leaving to San Francisco with this vehicle on Tuesday for 3 week. If there is anything else I will let you know, but for now I am extremely happy. Thanks Mike - 12-8-2010 Several months ago I purchased from Wester's Garage their ECMPro scan data logging software. The software has been great in getting the info my tuner needs to get my '96 Corvette running at it's peak. It's fairly easy to navigate through and will handle all the PID's I throw at it. Not just three or four like some of the other cheaper OBDII data logging software out there. Just recently I purchased a wideband 02 to help in getting even more info to my tuner. Lyndon has been great in helping me get it synced up with the ECMPRO so all the data can be viewed on one page on my laptop instead of on two separate pieces of hardware. If you're in the market for OBDII data logging software I high recommend you take a look at what Wester's Garage has to offer! You won't find a better person than Lyndon to make it all come together for you!

Thanks Thomas Caladrino - NYC Performance Tuning - Cadillac CTSV Lyndon, A customer we did a caddy CTSV for called me this morning extremely happy to tell me about his outing at the race the track last Saturday and I wanted to pass the information on to you since you're the guy who deserves all the credit here. Before his tune back in 6/09 the cars best time was 12.14 @ 112mph. Yesterday was the first time it's been back to the track since then and it went 11.62 @119mph and that was walking it out easy with the stock tires. He thinks it will go faster with a harder launch. This guy owns a huge car service that been in business here since the 50's and he always had the fastest cars around so he very respected at the track and when he put those numbers down everyone at the track started asking him what he had done to the car so of course he told them all it has is a tune (no one believed it) and who tuned it. There was a guy there with a CTSV that had headers a full exhaust, pulley, and tune that only went 11.40's. That car was done by the same shop that tuned his GTO years ago so he thinks 'there are a few more screws to turn on his GTO computer.' He is so impressed with this tune he would like us to have a look at his 2006 GTO. He is not completely happy with it anymore after seeing what you could do with his Caddy he is sure the GTO can be better.... Bill - 1998 Cadillac I got the ECU today and installed it, WOW I am very impressed the car is fast and fun. Thank you for all of your help. I have included a pic of the car that got a new brain. Thanks. Richard - 2005 Duramax Well, here's one of the good customer feed backs, this guy say's before burn he always used in the fuel range of 14-15 L/100 km, now he say's he uses 8 L/100 km of fuel on the highway, has more power than ever. I asked him if his factory fuel monitor system was off, he say's no, because when he fills it up, the litres used are the same calculating out manually as with his factory monitor .He has driven truck 3000 km's since burn was installed ..... go figure this !! Keith G. - 2007 GMC Hi, Just a follow up on the work you did. The truck showed 14.2 litre/100 km on the way down and 12.6 litre/100 km on the way back to Coronation. Not bad for -36 degrees [Celsius]. It is quite a bit more responsive than it was and it seems to run quite freely. I am impressed. I was wondering if you can adjust the remote start to run for a 1/2 hr and start more than two times. I find the 10 minute setting from the factory to be a nuisance. Thank you for now and best of the season to your family and staff. Chris V - (Dyno Results) Lyndon, Here are the final dyno results with nitrous. What do you think? Not bad for a little six, huh. Chris V - Don't get me wrong Lyndon; car runs great, especially now after your tune! Like I said, from what I can see you have implemented a nice timing curve and air/fuel is great! Car is nice and lopy at idle and hesitation around 2k r's is gone! Car just takes off and has very fast, consistent gains! I can FEEL the additional torque, low end.. believe it or not but this little six actually pushes you back in the seat slightly! Next week we are going to dyno with my zex (wet-kit) starting with 75 then 100 and if everything seems fine; we will leave it rest with a solid 125 shot!!! which will put me close to 300 at the wheels give or take with drive train loss. Just disappointed that company who built motor gave me wrong #'s! I believe in getting what you pay for!!! but you did great! Very stout six now! Oh yeah by the way she barks second at WOT! Understandably your work is done but if your curious what all I get out of my (project six cylinder) after we do next dyno runs, I can send you dyno results to see what this baby is actually going to be putting out at the wheels!!! Dale Adams - Dale Adams Automotive - 2001 4.8L Chevy Just got a report back from the customer we reflashed on Wednesday, after doing a catectomy and your program he says has more power and better performance than his 5.3 Cam - Port Sheldon Auto - 2003 Chevy Trailblazer Customer we setup last week with the 2003 Chevy Trailblazer 5.3L stopped in today just to let us know how happy he is with the tune. He claims 'The power is amazing and the 3 MPG increase is worth every penny!' Thanks Again Alex T. J. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Hi Lyndon, How are things going "Up North"?... 2 weeks ago we competed in the SCCA Solo National Championships in the B-Street Prepared class. This class has been a hot topic in SCCA because many people feel it is dominated by the Mitsubishi Evolution and that no 2WD car could compete. We were trying to prove that was not true (as long as it didn't rain!). Well after the 1st day I was sitting in 3rd position in a 26 car class. The 2nd day I was trying to catch the 2 front runners but couldn't put a decent run together and ended up in 4th. Although I did enjoy the defending national champion coming up to me at one point and telling me to slow down :P The car received lots of attention from many competitors and spectators. The announcer at the awards ceremony also made it clear to everybody that it was a Solstice GXP, not a Mitsubishi Evolution. Overall at the even I was 97th out of ~1200 competitors! I couldn't be happier, besides being 96 or better :). Next year with a little more suspension and chassis development and a diet for the c ar we think we have a very good chance at winning the National Championship. Thanks again for all your help! We wouldn't have been able to do so well without it! Colin R. - Davis Pontiac Buick GMC Just wanted to let you know. My little brother drives this truck and has currently been working out in Med Hat for the last couple months. He drives back to Lethbridge every weekend. He has been traveling that highway netting 26-28 mpg. 100,000kms on it and synthetic oil. You got a hell of a tune in there. Close to 800km to a tank of fuel. Little oversized tire on a 4x4. good job bud. Keep this tune on file! Dave M. - Solstice GXP Hi, I'm just sending a note to commend you on your Solstice GXP tune, and no doubt your other products. I recently got the tune for my wife as a birthday present and we couldn't be happier. It is like a different car. Overall driveabilty is way up, power of course is silly for a 2-litre engine, and it is even seeing better fuel economy numbers.... Again, thanks very much, awesome job. Starting a tire fund for spring. Joel P. - Paynton Performance Just a couple of updates from the races. The 2010 Camaro ran a 12.10 with traction problems… he was running faster than any of the supercharged mustangs that were there (there were a couple)… My own truck on the Friday night street legal's ran consistent 14.6's, and the Allison wasn't liking it in 5th gear… boy I've got to get that trans built. I was the fastest near-stock diesel there. The Cummins boys were running in the low 15's. The twin-turbo, twin-pump, nitrous built Cummins were not doing well for reliability, one guy scattered his bottom end all over the top end of the track. The other guy was tinkering with his truck all weekend and he had to get towed off the track after his last run… problem is that he uses that one for work too. The twin-turbo convertible vette with the manual 6-speed was running 12.6's on street tires, but traction was a HUGE problem for him. Another convertible vette that you recently DPS-LS2 tuned was indexed at a 13.5 and he ran a 13.3. They had more than 300 cars show up, and they had to start turning some away. It was much bigger than anyone anticipated, there were nowhere near enough grandstands for everyone. The pro and super-pro classes were huge, I started to loose track of all the different chevelles / mustangs / camaros / challengers/ chargers running. J. M. - 2008 Solstice GXP Dude – it is fantastic! Like you said – 20% quieter and it DEFINITELY spools faster! The car is such a blast! This is definitely a marketable tune – it feels more civilized, yet more powerful at the same time. Thanks Lyndon – can’t say enough. I really can’t wait to see how you integrate the GMPP stuff to really open this thing up! Wayne Sundberg from Sunoka Custom Tune (emailed custom tune) - 2006 Duramax All Good!! This customer cannot believe the improvement and power gain! with mileage. The truck was up at Sportsman Light truck and they were amazed with the performance of the D-max. The truck out performed there twin turbo Dodge diesel. Right on man !! Thank you Lyndon Wayne Sundberg from Sunoka Custom Tune (emailed custom tune) - 2005 Ford E450 V-10 Motorhome Ever take a kick at one of these units? You did Bin file last year for a fella Bob ******. Bob gained 2 miles to the gallon and complete change in the drive and performance. Now his friends are calling about there motorhomes! Alex T. J. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Lyndon, The tune has been working great! My co-driver and I took 2nd and 3rd (out of ~140) at our local season opener. This Sunday were attending an Autocross that should have some good competition. Hope all is well up in Alberta! Wayne Sundberg from Sunoka Custom Tune (emailed custom tune) - 1996 T-bird Good morning Lyndon, Well I had some feedback from this customer, all positive the customer had his T-bird Dyno tune at Brown Bros. Ford in Vancouver with a Diablo Delta chip. His comment was: "Man there is no comparison between tunes the custom Westers ECM tune pulls 3x harder than the Dyno tune From Brown Bros, Ford. Thank you, you guys are GOOD! -- Chris E." Cory - Pontiac Grand Prix Hello, This is an email to Lyndon and the rest of the staff at Westers. My name is Cory, I had the red grandprix with the shift problems! I just wanted to say thank you very much for helping me with the pcm's and the work you did today on it to get it right. It works great now, better than before, and i really appreciate the help, its almost impossible to find that kind of service in the city here, and i would not hesitate to dive twice that far to get the service from you guys. Thanks again. Cory Carlos L. - 2008 GXP Lyndon...I posted up this picture slip on a couple forums and some people are going nuts asking me how that's possible. I simply respond with "3 words my friend. Westers Race Tune." Of course I give them your info also. I hope you get some sales from this advertisement haha. Feel free to put the pictures up on your website if you feel like you want to :) Check it out :) Charles W. (Todd) Schrack - GXP Hi: I am a VERY happy owner of your "hot" tune. I'm writing to see if you have made any upgrades since I had my tune installed at DeepBlueGXP's Mod Meet a while back. I'm especially interested in what GM is coming out with, and how it might be tweaked by you. Please keep me posted if you come up with something to make my GXP faster.... Thanks very much. You have the BEST tune out there ! Regards, Wayne Sundberg from Sunoka Custom Tune (emailed custom tune) - 04 Chevy Truck 6.0 L Response is good! I wish I drove the truck first, before I installed the first tune.... His remarks were 'The tune so good I put on some long hair music and pinned it!'

Wayne Sundberg from Sunoka Custom Tune (emailed custom tune) - 99 Chevy Truck with 87 Hot tune; 5.3 L stock truck The only thing he said was 'Why did I wait so long to tune my truck'....WOW! GM-Trucks.com/Forums https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/133021-westers-tune Hi Guys, Just had my 2011 Silverado crew 5.3 uploaded with a Westers hot tune. I can't believe how much this tune made a difference. The shifting and power is incredible so far. I really didn't drive it to much as it was late and I had family obligations (damn kids, lol) I had a Westers hot tune on my 2006 and loved it but I seem to see more of a difference in power with this truck. I'll keep you posted with gas mileage and performance changes as I only drove 45 miles last night and the truck is still relearning. I was running 87 and now 93 and all the modules need to reset. I did hit it a couple of times (O.K I'm lying, I hit it a lot! LOL) and loved the power. I'll be taking it out today and having some more fun. I'll try to get up to the drag way within the next few months so I can post some times. DISCLAIMER .... Just want to say ... No disrespect to any of the other tuners out there. I know BB is a sponsor and stuff but I'm in MA and I have a Westers dealer not to far from me. Plus, I didn't have to buy another tune because Butch in Middleton, MA only charges a small fee when changing vehicles, plus My truck dealership loves to re-flash during service visits so I'm constantly having Butch reload my Westers tune. I just chose to go with someone local. I don't want you guys thinking I'm try to sell or convince you to go to another tuner. With all that said .... I'm very happy with my tune. Bob K. - 2003 Corvette Hi Lyndon, Back in 2003 I bought a PCM and tune for my 2003 Vette. We then exchanged several emails regarding the exceptional performance of the car. Don’t know if you remember or not. I have since gotten HP Tuners but the car has never run as good as when you tuned it. I would like the latest and greatest tune from you and was wondering if I need to send you the PCM or can you send me a file I can load using HP Tuners. Thanks. Maktoom, Kuwait - 2008 6.2L Hummer H2" Lyndon, I have test the H2 the tune is great and its faster than his H2 friend with hp tune. Thanks a lot. Dave F. Hi Lyndon, See dyno graph. I think it is what I should have expected. Just wanted to know if you had any thoughts. They Dyno guy said something about the tranny kept downshifting due to the tuning - they weren't perfectly set up for diesels. In any case, there were probably 20 other trucks that ran and didn't have any issues. My personal feeling on the driveability is that you wouldn't even know its there. Shifting is great and so is the power. I actually gave your info to another guy with an LBZ that ran 525 HP. He is running PPE and hates the shifting, etc. His name is Matt O******* and he'll probably be calling you. Best Regards Preston C. - 2007 GM Truck Lyndon, After speaking with you this morning on the phone I installed the Tune. All I have to say is wow what a difference. Its night & day between your tune and the diablo performance tune. Power delivery feels much smoother, and it pulls harder top end. I'll have to wait to see the change in gas mileage, but with the power difference in the tune I could care less about it. I am very satisfied. I'll let you know when I go catless and Long tubes for tune changes. Richard I just wanted to send a picture of our start jump. We had a great race this year, but unfortunately coming up short and not finishing (next year!). Thanks to everyone that supports us and the race effort! Steve M. Lyndon, Check out my new fuse box plate. You should see a familiar name on there LOL. People will see it at shows and hopefully ask about you! Thanks for taking care of me.

TRUST US, read to the end!! https://www.solsticeforum.com/threads/westers-tune-3-major-problems.50724/#post-759385 Frank I Registered Joined Sep 20, 2006 376 Posts Discussion Starter • #1 • Sep 26, 2008 WESTERS TUNE, 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS First off let me lead up to how I came to the conclusion that Lyndon has three major problems with his latest hot tune. Many, many moons ago (late 50’s early 60’s I was bit by the proverbial Hot Rod bug. Through the years I owned and raced muscle cars (muscle car was not even a term back then). After 15 plus years of adrenalin rush of racing in a straight line, I then got hooked on 911 Porsche’s in the mid 70’s. In the early and mid 80’s the bug bit a little harder and I started my love affair with Turbo Porsche’s. Through the years as I became older (but not wiser) speed was still an addiction but straight line acceleration was only a part of the equation. The Turbo Porsche’s taught me the value of learning how to drive fast on road courses in addition to straight line acceleration. As I entered into the 90’s I became a little more practical with expendable income (son went off to college) and I divorced myself from the high cost and maintenance of modifying my Porsche’s by purchasing a Third Generation RX-7 Twin Turbo. The little Mazda was one hell of a car for the money and satisfied my love of straight line acceleration and good handling on the road courses. At times I still miss the love of my life the Turbo Porsche’s, especially my highly modified ones that would cruise all day at 170 and give me the occasional adrenaline rush at 190 +, but the Twin Turbo RX-7 would haul butt with a few modifications to seals, porting, larger intercooler, adjustable turbo controls and ECU tuning. As we entered into the new millennium and my life was slowing down both physically and mentally, I thought it best to give up my “need for speed” and gently entered into the comfort zone of Lexus LS 400’s where I could drive with one hand on the wheel, cigar in the other and cruise in pure quiet surroundings. My wife absolutely loved the few LS series Lexus’s we acquired and to this day that is all she will drive. Well when Pontiac came out with the Solstice in 06, I immediately fell in love with the aesthetics of the car but after driving one I knew I would not be happy with the lack of power. In 07 when they came out with the GXP I decided to purchase the “little hemi” after a quick spin around the block in one. My logic of the purchase was 3 fold. 1. Buy the car for its great visual appearance and enter it in car shows 2. Buy the car for its fair performance against Ricer type cars and other American cars with moderate HP engines like the standard V8 Mustangs. 3. Buy the car for its great gas mileage potential from a moderate performing engine. Well I have never been disappointed with the car (I will have owned it for two years this coming December). The stock GXP is an excellent car for the price especially for a person who over the past 50 years has lost some reflexes and lost some peripheral vision which limits ones ability to drive like a teenager or young adult!!!! Now everything was going fine with the GXP. I entered it in car shows, tried performance runs against similar powered Ricer cars and standard V8 Mustangs and enjoyed making trips to car events or taking short vacations while getting great gas mileage. I was relatively successful at Car Shows, relatively successful against the Ricers, Boxters, Z3 BMW’s and last but not least Mustangs and the last saving grace was I was relatively happy with the good gas mileage. As time went by, I added a little of this and a little of that to make the GXP more refined and attractive at Car Shows (JPM full interior upgrade among other small things). Added a few power adders for better performance like Solo’s Mach system and high flow CAT, Hahn Intercooler, Fujita intake, etc. The car became a better performer at Car Shows (won my first “Best in Show Trophy this past June). Also, with the above mentioned performance mods, the car ran a little better and I had finally cracked the 14 second barrier with a best run of 13.74 in the quarter with the above mentioned power adders. The gas mileage also increased to a best of 34.6 MPG on expressway travels. Well after much debate and review of tunes offered by a few different Tuners I decided to get the Wester’s Tune since in my opinion, Lyndon was the pioneer of adequately breaking the code on the GXP ECU and I respected and admired his ambition to take a low volume car and spending countless hours working out the bugs of the Bendix nanny controls. I realized there were currently less expensive tunes that recently hit the market but I also thought it appropriate to give my money to the one Tuner who took the highest risk on “return on investment.” So off went the ECU to Tilley, Canada and within a six day period back came the ECU from Tilley, Canada. I quickly reinstalled the ECU in my GXP and much to my disappointment I experienced the 3 major problems which are the subject of this thread. The 3 Major Problems with the Westers Tune are: 1. I purchased my GXP to be a toy and fun car to enter in Car Shows. Well after installing the Westers Tune I think my Car Show days are a thing of the past. The car is now collecting bugs at an abnormal rate and those 100+ MPH bugs who hit the paint surface and front windshield are destroying the front of the car. 2. After installing the Tune, I am now more prone to loose more races then in the past. The car is so much quicker in straight line acceleration that I no longer bother racing the cars I previously found to be competitive. I am now more interested in finding higher performing competition like the larger than 2.7 L Boxter, the Z4 BMW, Shelby and Rauch HP Mustangs, some late model 911 type Porsche’s, the new Lotus and even some C5 Vettes. I know I will not beat all the above mentioned cars but it is now possible to either give them a good run for the money or in some cases “clean their clock.” 3. I had Lyndon raise the Rev Limiter to 7200 RPM so I could perform 0 to 60 runs without the need to shift into 3rd gear and my 0 to 60 times are now in the 4.4 to 4.7 range depending on launch quality. I have not run the quarter yet but I expect about a half second to three quarter second improvement which I do not think is unrealistic. The pulling power in forth gear is now similar to some of my old muscle cars. However the down side to the power increase is, I am experiencing about 21 MPH around town mixed in with some highway usage, whereas before the Tune I was getting about 24 MPG. Of course the reason for the decrease is because I can not keep my foot out of it. I have now placed about 500 miles on the Westers tune and I am averaging around 27 MPG with mixed usage around town and highway, which is about 3 MPG more than similar trips in the past. Considering my experience with the Westers Tune I would strongly sway you away from getting this tune for your GXP. It is going to ruin your paint, make you loose more races and decrease your gas mileage. And perhaps there is one more reason I suggest you avoid this Tune. I want my GXP to be faster than yours and if you get this Tune you may be my next defeat. In closing let me just state the GXP owners on this Forum owe Lyndon a big round of applause and a thank you for his dedication and “stick-to-it-ness.” Without Lyndon I doubt the other recent “Tuner vendors” would have their product on the market. Thanks Lyndon!!!!!:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: Frank I Solstice Dyno Customer Rich - on 'Pass Time' Here is a picture of our customer, 'Rich from Roswell', that was on the hit TV show 'Pass Time'. Here he is shown with tires leaving the ground and this is with NO TRANS BRAKE!! Automatic car runs 11s in the quarter with just the heads and cam package. Davis Pontiac - Hey Lyndon, Just letting you know the LS3 truck ran a 13.6 @ 99MPH. It was pretty consistent if I could keep the tires from spinning. I'm happy with the results so far. Hopefully in the hat on the 12th/13th I can improve on those numbers a bit more. Also I hope you remember that Denali I put a rear mount turbo on. I'm just waiting on a converter for it and hopefully we will have it up to you in 3 weeks time. I know you are busy but this is my customers daily driver so hopefully a week is long enough for ya if you can kinda schedule it in to finish up the tune. Thanks. (See "News" under July 2008) Scott H. - Mass Diesel (email tune for a 1997 Corvette) Lyndon, That C5 tune we did a few weeks back on a 97 lsi stock everything except tune on drag radials and a 150 shot of giggle gas 11.30 backed it up 3 times. Gonna spray it next week with a 200 going for a 10.90. Thanks Vince V. - 8.1L GM 4x4 Truck Just got my pcm back today from you, QUITE impressed with the power improvement, very noticeable, Also my trans temp is quite a bit cooler even after several hard runs, not sure on the mpg yet.....only got it back 4hrs ago!!!! THANKS!! Colin R. - LS3 Truck - Davis Pontiac Buick GMC Ran a new P.B. with the LS3 truck. Went 13.31 @ 102.3MPH in the Hat on Saturday. Not bad with a 31.5" Tall Street Tire." (See "News" July 2008) Frank P. - 2008 Chevy HHR SS All went well and a 2nd gear pull resulted in tire spin and a "Oh my God !!" It is rainy here so have not had a chance for a more extensive evaluation. I want to do a couple runs - like a 3rd gear pull from 2000 rpm on up - so we can look for any knock and check a/f ratios. Initial run showed 25 psi dropping to 23 or so as rpm rises. You can actually hear the chassis straining to couple the power to ground. Is there still any learning function in pcm?? At 25 psi, it is scary fast. Hard to imagine the launch control will work anymore. Even stock, it had a hard time keeping optimal wheelspin. Thanks. Great job. Scan file to follow when weather improves. Jim G. - 2007 Solstice & 2004 GTO Hey Lyndon. OK had some fun this weekend, I discovered I don not have a clue how to remove the turbo on the Solstice, But I did replace the exhaust gasket at the turbo/cat car is running very strong no more popping and mileage is very good as long as I behave. I do not see over 23 psi but it pulls very hard. Tune is running great. The GTO, not sure what you did, but car is smoother and is easier to drive according to my son. We just drove a little before he went home, when he got home he called me and told me to tell you thank you very much, it is running much better. He got in it to pass someone on the way home and told me he was at 110 in a blink and gone. He likes it much better than before. Thanks Lyndon! Paul M. - 2003 Duramax I was surprised the truck is quieter and runs a lot better (wow performance) on dash computer for gas mileage up about 5 mpg in the city. I am going on a road trip this morning about 2 hr ride on the highway should help the relearn let you know how I find it over the next little while including a 10 hr drive with a 28ft 5th in the rocky mountains. Richard C. L. - 2008 Hummer H2 I am a happy man. I picked up the PCM after work and boy I was surprised it got here so fast. Thank you for all your help and you have been a class act the whole time especially with communicating and taking care of me. Truck has been awesome to drive. First thing I noticed was how responsive it is when initially taking off and when accelerating. Shifting seems a million times better and highway behavior is miles ahead of what it was before. The hummer in nature has a pain in the butt time of staying in gear while on highway and also keeping current speed. It always feels like it is over working to stay at a constant speed and only feels normal when driving on completely flat road vs any small incline I (part of that problem prob with that its weight and AWD). So the biggest thing I wanted to pay attention to was how it responded when getting up to speed on highway, how it maintained speed, and if it had to work its but off to stay at a current speed and gear. I must say it feels like it should, it was completely 100% better, accelerated with ease to 70, held its gear great, and stayed at its 1800 RPM'S while at 70 and did so while driving up inclines on the highway. I was very impressed especially after driving it the past two months while I have had it. I prob only pressed the accelerator down like 10-20% while accelerating to get on highway and it took off getting up to speed with breeze. Before I almost had to completely press the pedal all the way down to the floor. So for the first 50 miles I put on the truck today, I am a billion times satisfied and can't wait till I put tons more miles on the motor with it really responding to the tune. Thank you a million and I will prob send you emails intermittently to let you know how things are going and some day ill get into posting on denalitrucks and I will throw you out a huge thank you and shout out for all you have done, THANK YOU A TON!!!!! TJ from TJ's Auto Repairs - 2005 Duramax This man has had both a Bully Dog and an Edge reprogramming systems in his truck and this is the first time he has towed his trailer for a long weekend and no MIL. He phoned me back Tuesday morning to say how nice his truck ran and he was thrilled. Thanks for your help. Have a great day. Bruce S. - 2007 NBS 5.3L GM I just installed a 89/91 "Hot" tune. Here are my impressions: First, let me say that I was somewhat skeptical that I would really notice much of a difference--especially right away. My expectation was that I would have to drive for 100 miles or so and then would feel a slight to moderate improvement. So you can imagine my surprise when I felt the difference immediately. Everything is better. The throttle response is significantly improved. The engine revs more quickly and without any hesitation. Even on partial throttle the engine feels like it is generating much more power. The shift-points occur at 400-500 more RPM. I got on the freeway and hit the gas hard----WOW. The tack shot to over 5,000 RPM and the truck blasted forward. No more hesitation, no more reluctance to rev, no more feeling that the truck was fighting me, no more sensation of additional noise but no additional power. In short, the Wester's Hot tune is the best modification--by far--I have made. In fact, if I could only make two mods to an NBS SD, they would be the Wester's Hot tune and the Hellwig rear sway bar. Amazing. Charles M. Hey Lyndon, That was me that came out last Saturday. I went to Edmonton this morning and measured my fuel mileage. I filled up just north of Calgary at the Petro Pass on Country Hills Blvd and then again at the Petro Pass in Nisku which is a distance of 260.x km. I only burned 29.0x L which if my math is correct using 1.61km in a mile and 4.546L in a gallon I averaged 25.3mpg. I'm pretty sure there was a bit of a tail wind but none the less just over 25 mpg is still pretty impressive especially with the cruise set just north of 120km/h for the duration of the trip with the exception of a couple construction zones. I will definitely be recommending this product to my buddies. Thanks again Larry W. - 2002 6.0L 4x4 GM Gas I barely got 150 miles on my new tune for this past weekends pulls. Gotta tell you THANKS. I really got hooked up and took my very first 1st place with a 311' pull. I bested the 30 truck field by more than 50 feet. That included the NELSON, PCM 4 Less and that pesky DODGE along with a track favorite that had a cam and some head work. Steve M. - 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP 2.0L Turbo Hello, I just received my new ECM from you. I read the directions for the install off of the GXP owners forum, read the directions for the key learn from your web-site, I followed them carefully and did not have any problems. I must say that the tune is quite impressive. Pontiac should have come to you guys for the information to make their car run. Up here in Alaska we have a little open road so I can tell you for a fact that the car has a lot more pull from 100mph up than it did before the tune. (A LOT! More) Thanks for the great job. Will W. - 2002 Envoy Hi Lyndon!! Just thought you might have some use for this tidbit. This is pure highway driving from Charlottesville, VA to Washington, D.C. I was doing 60-70 MPH the whole time. I was NOT using cruise control as the terrain is "hilly" for about half of the trip. Simply held the accelerator in one position and let the speed vary with the terrain. ... Ciao for now. Michael P. - 383HT with TBI Thank you. I'm looking forward to installing this system in September as discussed and then squeezing in a couple short towing / camping runs with the kids and family ... Right now, the truck tows pretty effortlessly. Hit 2200 RPM, 105KM/h and it just purrs... Joel P. from Paynton Performance - 2005 LLY Duramax Just tuned 2 6.0 liter's and one 05 LLY. The LLY had a hypertech in it, set to the max. Smoked like crazy and the 1-2 shift was super harsh. It glitched when programming to stock. Left the ECM non-functional. Used your PCM Recovery feature with another stock file that I had that matched his truck, and it worked! Whew! Gave him about 70hp tune w/boost more boost to clean up the smoke, ran awesome! Less power, but he liked the trans shifting and no smoke. It's definitely smoother. Had a beer and made $1400... Dean S. - DenaliFest 2007 Some of our customers get together for their annual "DenaliFest" Check out their "DenaliFest'07" Dear Lyndon and the Gang, Well. Denali Fest 2007 is a memory now. Good times and good friends were made too. It will be 10 days that I'll never forget. Finally meeting the people that you once only knew by name. We waited and waited and then it happened and then it was over. I went and got some new Wheels, PowerSlot Brake Rotors and a Raised Cowl Hood while I was down there. My Truck as it went down to DF/07. by Canmore, Alberta. The second photo is what it looked like coming home afterwards. My new Wheels and Rotors. 20 inch BOSS 313's with TOYO Proxes S/T's P285/50/20. A better angle of my Goodmark Raised Cowl Hood Enough about my Truck. There were a lot of Denali's down there, with your Tunes in them. The first day I met Butch, he whipped out the LapTop and downloaded my "new" Tune and I was good to go! It was hard to get used to buying Premium Gas. On the way home, I started filling with Regular. and then finished with Premium after I realized my error. I also won First Prize in the Drawing at Saturdays Bar-B-Q. I had everything that Butch sells except for the OUTLAW Cold Air Intake system he sells. so that is what I got as my prize. In case you didn't see some of the pictures of the Day.

Mark, Scott and Jerry put on a good show and it will be hard to beat by DF/08 Later that day, we all raced to San Francisco and had Supper at the famous Pier 39. We all wanted to thank-you, Lyndon. That's Scotty holding the sign. His identity was being kept a secret from the Women on DTC. You know, him being single and all. It was a fabulous meal and a good time and good laughs were had by all. A week after I got home, I hooked up with Juan in Edmonton and the next day, he visited you at your shop. Lyndon, I hope you enjoyed the pictures and they didn't bog down your computer. I wanted to personally thank you for your support of DTC's DF/07 and look forward to finally meeting you someday. Dean S. -- Sherwood Park, Alberta Butch. - Advanced Products Another satisfied customer from one of our dealers... Some of our customers get together for their annual "DenaliFest" Check out their "DenaliFest'07" Dealer to us: "Thought you'd like to see the message I got from Josh S. about the 2007 6.2L tune we just did Tuesday for his Denali." Customer to dealer: "Got the PCM back this am! Thanks for the fast turnaround. Well, got it put back in and fired her up. At first I wasn't sure what I felt. Definitely more power off the line. Drove it around for about 15 minutes and then started putting the pedal to the metal! I turned off traction control and punched it from a dead stop. HOLY! Smoked all 4 tires and I swear the front end was off the ground a couple inches! As most have said in previous posts, it seems to get better the more I drive it! Thanks again for waking up this sleeping beast. Lee H. - GM TBI Truck Hey there, Just thought I would give you an update on my project. If you remember a few months ago you supplied me with larger injectors and new ECU for my TBI vortec headed 350. Well I finally got the project on the road last Friday - managed to make few passes in Calgary Friday night. Then Brooke and I headed to Medicine Hat where I ended up Winning Sportsmen Class! Pretty sweet huh!! The truck is running great, I averaged 22mpg including the drive down, cruising around Medicine Hat for a bit, then making 3 passes before fueling up. I am very happy with that. Tom from Tbyrne Motorsports Hi Lyndon, I drove it pretty good for about 175 miles to see how the fuel mileage is. Couldn't do that for to long so I filled up tonight. I saw 15.75 for my usual mix of country roads/highway driving (hand calculated). That's about a 2-2.5 MPG improvement. Hopefully that carries over when I'm towing. I'd be happy to see at least 12 while pulling a trailer. I layed into it a few times the day installed the tune. I'm not sure how accurate the Edge's performance read out is. That showed a 15.5 1/4 with 0-60 in the mid 7s. I'm going to start playing with it a little more tomorrow to see how the power is. I've noticed that there is hardly any smoke and driveability is very good. Steve from SS Autoworks Lyndon, J-LOR's new program works great, customer seems very impressed. The noise is gone and the power feels great. Thanks Lyndon, this customer can be a tough man to please Todd H. - Discount Tire Direct http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=33&t=9234&st=0#entry121400 Lyndon. Its GREAT! I picked up 10-20 throughout the run, peaking to over 30. TQ gains were approx 20. Its a whole new truck! How much did you mess with Torque management, and shift pressure? Not much seems different there. Everything else is spectacular. Now that I am done with my warranty gig I can send my pcm back to you. Whats the address? On another note, my new business partner www.prodyno.com specializes in GM trucks, and ls1/ls6/ls2 cars. He has a truck identical to mine...but cant seem to make the power I do. His is a bit more show than mine. Anyway...we have been thinking lately of buying the unlimited truck ls1edit but have not yet done so. We are averaging 5-8 Radix MagnaCharger installs per week at the shop. Each leave our shop currently on the Superchips/MagnaCharger tune. Id much rather them leave with a Westers Tune!! Lets talk business shall we? Joel P. from Paynton Performance Well, here's the deal: Wester's Garage: plug in and go, no licensing... E** ****: make sure you have enough licenses in cue before you do anything, and then when you do program the thing, you have to program, let it tell you it's not licensed, reboot the ECM, then program again, let you license it, then finally program the ECM. If you need licenses, then you have to e-mail the people you purchased from, buy the licenses and then wait x number of hours or days to receive the license unlock code. Brian K. Lyndon-- Here's on more GSL fleet tune they needed quickly. I've attached the stock read and the model tune. These guys are really happy with the work we're doing for them. They are apparently getting a big cut in insurance from governing their trucks, as well as mileage gains for trucks that run 50-70K miles a year. I'm trying to work up a couple more fleet sales based upon the success of this one. Wayne S. I am up and running now. Now I have a real motor, programming seems good now but too soon to tell, it runs real nice, only have 200K on it now. I will let you know if there are any adjustments needed. This motor is real strong!!! Good work on the programming I would say you nailed it. Freddie is impressed with your programming. I am sure you will get more from him now. Lance H. - 2002 GZMC 2500HD 4x4 Thanks again, your PCM seems to be operating flawlessly. I love the new low end power and it looks like I've gained a bit more fuel economy, but I wont be able to tell for sure until this cold snap stops. Too many minutes sitting in the driveway warming up effects the outcome... Have a great Holiday Season M. Wester - 1998 3.8L Camaro Thanks Lyndon, I received 2nd place against some 5.0 Mustangs and an "02 SS this weekend only .023 off against the V-8's!!! Job well done Thanks Again, Mike. I would like to get back to you on your program---maybe I'll do some of that here! Overhaul and maintenance for class 8 is getting rough Dealer Martin S., Customer George (emailed custom tune from Wester's Garage) - 2004 Duramax [Ontario]" Hi Lyndon here is a email letter I received from a customer who is a firefighter , I did his 2004 Duramax Friday: Hey Marty the Wester's Performance Tune is amazing. Its like a whole new truck. My friend wants his wife's Buick Allure done he will be contacting you this week. Also another friend with a 2004 Chevy 2500 Duramax next week. Expect a few phone calls. I will be spreading the word Shannon - 2001 Corvette [Davenport, Calgary, Alberta]" Perfect !!! The car now spins the tires at will. Thanks again. K. Browning - 1994 GMC Sierra 4.3 V6 TBI RUNS GREAT [Rockford, Illinois]" To Lyndon, Last we spoke you talked about making me another chip [memcal] There is no need for that the shift points are perfect, the truck has made more power & better acceleration... Thank you for everything you have done. Ryan - 1989 TBI Truck [Swift Current, Saskatchewan]" Hey Lyndon, The truck is getting quicker, I ran a personal best of 13.69 at 98mph. This wasn't at the Hat, I ran it in Swift Current last weekend. I plan on getting to the Hat this weekend, and run on a real track. I purchased a new set of BFG drag slicks, but I couldn't hook it all up. I could only pull a 1.92 60 foot when I normally pull a 1.8. I know it still has more in it, Thanks again for all the tuning!

AMVIC News Release - 12 November 2008 To Motor Vehicle Sales Businesses and Media AMVIC warns not to purchase extended warranties from unknown sources Edmonton... The Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council (AMVIC) is cautioning consumers about a company named Warranty Center that is trying to sell after-market vehicle warranties to Albertans. "This company is not licensed to sell warranties in Alberta," says Bob Hamilton, executive director of AMVIC. Consumers are being contacted by a company representative advising that their vehicle warranty will expire in two days. The representative claims the information was provided by the manufacturer that provided the original warranty. Consumers are then offered a five-year extended warranty for $175 and asked to provide a credit card number. The representative tells consumers they can contact Warranty Center at 1-877-914-7776. Extended Warranty contracts on vehicles are considered to be insurance and are regulated under the Insurance Act. To confirm that the product you are considering is being offered by a licensed insurance company and a properly authorized Restricted Insurance agent please contact the Alberta Insurance Council at 1-800-461-3367. "Do not purchase an extended warranty from any unknown source," advises Hamilton. "We suggest consumers contact the dealer where they purchased the vehicle if they want to buy an extended warranty. Consumers can also contact AMVIC at 1-877-979-8100 or www.amvic.org if they have questions about an extended warranty." AMVIC is responsible for administering and enforcing motor vehicle industry regulations under Alberta's Fair Trading Act. SEPTEMBER GXP Pontiac Solstice Dyno Results see Dyno Results Page.

Nice rig, fast--and mileage was running 15-16 MPG (and it was -35C that day !!). We did run into a Stabilitrac issue, but we're expecting the module from Lingenfelter will solve this for them (UPDATE) Apparently we got carried away with the maximum torque this engine would develop and we built in our own stabilitrac problem with the values we set in the program. Problem solved by reprogramming correctly. Congratulations to Brian from Medicine Hat, Alberta who won the SONY Playstation 3 in our Triple Dog Power Pup Bully Dog Draw in December!

Product Info - ASNU Electronic High-Performance Injector Flow Bench We Test: Flow Rate Injector Pattern Live Dynamic Resistance Tests We can test each injector from 0.001 second firing time to static (held open) and at up to 10,000 RPM with over 16 available injector flow test procedures, testing 1-8 injectors at a time. Three level intensity Ultrasonic cleaning removes even the toughest deposits in under 20 minutes. Only $19.95 per injector (TBI, TPI, PFI) complete with data sheet. Test and renew throttle body injectors for the fraction of the price of one injector! Ensure the set of injectors you have are a flow matched set for the best performance. For Your Information: It recently came to our attention that the injectors fitted to 2005 Ford 5.4L engines in the F-Series pick up trucks & Expedition SUVs, etc. have high "historical" failure rate (you only have to Google Ford 5.4L injector failure to see you much of an issue it is!) Having recently diagnosed & serviced a set of these injectors made by Siemens Deka, we quickly discovered that this particular injector was manufactured without the traditional 10 micron filter screen inside!! Two bent con rods in our injector history case. P.W.I. have sourced filter screens for this application and they are available under ASNU part #201 (24 in a package) @ $1.98* each (*current price unknown at time of this publication). Cheap insurance when servicing these troublesome injectors. These injectors are also adjustable in terms of "Flow Rate" calibration. Please contact us for further details on the specification and detailed instructions on how to calibrate them if your test results vary by more than +/- 3%. For "Forum Gurus" who have nothing better to do other than misquote us, the sets we sell are flow matched, and the pressure increase provides the proper flow rate. SCPI injectors work by unseating a pre-loaded ball and spring with high pressure. They work better as pressure increases. These injector sets require ECM reprogramming or you will damage your engine. Fuel pressure must be a minimum of 55 PSI or the poppets may not open--they DO NOT OPEN at 50 PSI. CPI injectors do NOT fail at high pressure, like regular rail type injectors do, or like the upgraded replacement set you can purchase from GM.
