Prom tune in the Northeast - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

91MinuteMan · 04-13-2006

When I got my Z last fall I put in a Haibek chip. I would hate to think that I have to drive to go to Haibek's shop from Boston to fine tune the chip. The Vette Drs told me that they don't do prom programming. Any suggestons?

Callaway maybe?

Are you serious that the Vette Docs won't do it? I also have a Haibeck chip and was thinking about doing the same thing. The Docs still advertise packages for the Z, you would think that they would tune them. I guess were in the same boat.

I think the Vette Doctors use DRM for their proms. Thats what they installed in mine when I had work done.

What I was told is they could do some dyno pulls and street test and come up with some of the parameters that need adjusting and then pull the chip and send it back to Haibek. This quote,"could take several back and forths before it was right" or something close to that. I might be better off driving to Illinois. Anybody up for a caravan? My mapping program shows it as a simple 15hr51min jaunt covering 1002 miles one way.

Thanks, up until last night I always thought that they did it themselves.

I've been thinking about getting the heads ported so maybe late fall I'd consider making that journey. Another option is B.G. I think Marc will be there doing some tuning in a few weeks. As far as 15hr51min, you could spend that much time on 128!

We should all pitch in on an enclosed transporter for a delivery to Marc's.
And drive 'em home !!

Out of curiosity is there a problem or are you just adding some custom features on the chip you have? The reason I asked is adding the custom feature is only $100 while the dyno tune is $200/ hr. (1/2 consultation and 1/2 facility charge) plus the travel expense.

No major modifications in the works--it is just that beneath the sound of the exhaust and tire road noise I am almost sure I hear steady knocking on acceleration, but honestly I wouldn't bet my life on it. I am going to pull the plugs this weekend and replace them with one step cooler plugs and see if this helps. I also am not happy with the idle as it occasionally, randomly and infrequently has started to fluctuate. The car also tends to crank 3 or 4 times before it starts, warm or cold, although sometimes it starts quicker. Overall the runs pretty good and I always have to consider that I may be too critical.

Knocking or pinging ?
One range colder than stock is good for a car that is stock or some top end mods.
Red Line injector cleaner may help out a bit.
