Finally...twin turbos for my LFX - Page 24 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Good news, loaded the new tune and we have burnouts!!! It'll let me two foot it now and load it up even without turning off the nannies. I just hope adding torque management back in doesn't rob power off the big end. We'll see next time at the track. If anyone wants to beat me to the 11's they better do it this weekend because next weekend it's on!

Awesome! I am getting this kit installed in September. I'll start a build thread before then. Was torque management completely removed in the previous tune?

That was the impression I got from them before, and I don't even know that that's what they changed on this tune, I'm only assuming that. I haven't talked to Brian yet so I'll see what he says about it. I'm just happy that I'm not limited by the car anymore, I mean if I feel like roasting my tires I want to be able to. Now I'll finally get to christen the new turbos with a massive burnout!

I ran into a 5.0 coyote on the highway one night, and he wanted some. He had NOTHING for me. He tried 3 times and gave up. This turbo setup makes this car is a highway beast!

That would be great, any other details I can get because I've wanted to roast my tires the day I got the kit installed (almost a year ago), and still haven't had that chance.

And I've raced my brothers 5.0 and it couldn't hang....That is of course until I raced an SRT Viper and it was over before the race started

Planning to go back to the track on Friday as long as it stays dry. I've been playing around with my launch on the street and I'm exited to try it out at the track. There should be a big improvement in my 60ft times. I can only load it up to about 2,000rpm before it starts to overpower the brakes but it is launching pretty hard at 2K. Hopefully will finally get that 11 second time slip.

Awesome news! Best of luck!

Beautiful burnout!

Ok, went to the track on Friday but didn't go as well as I had hoped. It was hot as hell and humid out there, DA was 3750 the one time I checked. Made mostly all bad runs lol, I was spinning like crazy and having to lift and get back into it. Made one or two clean runs but definitely slower than last time and lost some mph. I'm not sure if it was the heat or the new tune but the car definitely didn't feel as strong as before. I'm kicking myself now for not reloading the previous tune and making a few runs, but I had my girlfriend there with me and she wasn't having fun so I gave up for the night and just hungout and watched cars and ate. I'll have to try again. I'm worried that the new tune with more torque management back in it is giving up power to be able to control the throttle. Not sure really, just need to do more testing at the track.
