About to pull the trigger on a couple goodies, need opinions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hey everyone. I'm about to put the trigger on BMR 1.25" lower springs for my SS, and I'm thinking of picking up the Diablo trinity t-1000 tuner. I have roto-fab intake, and borla exhaust. Would this be a nice addition to wake the car up a little more? Anyone have experiences with them? Or do you guys recommend a different tuner? I'm on phastekperformance.com right now. Thank you al for the info and your time!

Well, I have the Diablo T1000 and I'm still not sure its worth it. I even went with a 'custom' tune by Diablo and still not feeling anything. I'll be putting it on jthe dyno with and without to see whats the real gain.

1.25'' springs will help for the handling but while at it, I would upgrade the shocks with 1LE or cheap 12+(FE4 I think) shocks. They are way better I header but 1LE shocks will rock your world!!

I would wait for the springs if you cant do the shocks while at it. ..or go with Coilover!!

In fact, I'd skip springs and tuner and go with longtubes!!

Did you (or your tuner) data log your car with the tune and view the results of things such as LTFTs, knock retard, etc?

i would not mess with the hand held tuner. The springs will help the stance of the car and you do not need shocks for the springs as long as you dont go lower 1.5. coilovers are over kill unless you are tracking the car. i would do the headers and tie it all up with a dyno tune.
