Sniper Tune Problems

mmtphoto said:
I bought one in the 'group buy' from Gino but have yet to install it...still in the package, maybe I don't want it? I have not changed out the gearset so it still has 3:07's-your saying I will suddenly have a limit around 110 with this?

No, you will have the same 130mph stock speed limiter.
 
not like I *planned* on going 130, but hey, I still want to think it'll do it if I want to spend a couple of days in jail....
 
I think I was wrong in thinking it lowered the limiter. However it cannt delete it. The tuner works well and is very easy to use. Maybe better for a more stock car than mine. 98lsc32v let us know what happens. Who revised your original tune to raise the limiter the first time you had this problem.

Patrick did. It used to hit the limiter at 97mph and I have definately taken it above that with this new tune around 105mph on the street. Still haven't run it at the track, im hoping the car will be ready next Wed. I'm changing up my exhaust setup a bit, getting some wider tires and changing my plugs.
 
trying really hard not to sound like a broken record....BUT.

I dont understand why "if" patrick has solved the problem that other users are experiencing the same exact issue.

Other tuning solutions {you know who I'm referring to)
IF a change it made for a particular platform, then ALL users that are subsribed to the PCM code get the updates.
You dont have to beg to have your code updated as I am seeing is the case with Sniper.

Once an issue is found and resolved the database is updated and ALL USER have access to the new information.

THAT is how it's "supposed" to work.

better than that... there is a real time datalogging and tuning solution as well.
the Moates Quarterhouse will allow you to make "real time changes" to your tune, evaluate the changes in real time.

That sounds nice. Wish I had the money to do the same. Good luck at the track. I don't know why that tune doesnt work on my car. The tune Pat sent me didnt work either. I've hdone this same pass down the highway problly 10 times now testing the limiter. I change the setting in the tune for it to something different and retry. No luck yet everytime my speedo says 110 mph and it comes on.

Its better than that. On tuesday when I called sniper AGAIN. I was asked to hold and that person turned to Pat and asked about this, His response was havnt you called about this before and we dont have the time to track this down in the software. So either deal with it or get another tuner. This is after I contacted him last year and emailed my tunes to him to fix. Months later after many emails and calls, he sends me a new tune but no change in the limiter. Now I'm getting worked up and I really didn't want to call them out on the forum BUT THERE IT IS!
 
Wow, I would so return that junk and get something real men use! lol
 
Patrick is a really busy guy, I would try to post on the Sniper forums and ask for someone else to take a look at it... Matt has helped me before... I really have no complaints with the Sniper customer service. And if that doesn't work I would sell the Sniper and get SCT. I've had an SCT tune in my car before this Sniper tune and overall I must say I like the way the car acts with the Sniper tune.
 
OOOOOOh sh@* I got a new and improved file from sniper Pat today. Maybe this is the one I've been waiting for. And waiting tooo long. As soon as the lady gets home from work with my lap top I'm hitting the highway. 200 here I come!!!!
 
I was getting ready to purchase the sniper..but might have to hold on if there is an issue with the speed limiter. Thanks for posting about this.
 
I'm back with goooood news Its all good. Math class is open heres a little brain tickler. This is the formula for OMG rush.
(3rd gearx7000RPM)/3.73=140mph
Thats a rush.
Pat at sniper got it right this time.

Good news. So if i were to buy the sniper i would have this same problem out of the box?

What is involved with correcting it?

As I'm sure you know the TwEECer RT will datalog most EEC-IV... But the real-time control feature of this QuarterHorse looks interesting, I've never seen it before. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
It looks bad ass.... there is a video of a dude sitting in the car, and he types some stuff and and changes the idle rpm... it's pretty damn sweet.
