Power Commander V Issue

That's why I will be testing with the stock silencer, to see if I can get rid of the big gulp of hot air.[/COLOR]

Stock silencer or stock intake?

Roger, I was going to actually PM you, but will post here instead. I knew by talking to Eric this morning that you were running the Timbersleds like myself and I was wondering what you are finding as far as mapping? I am having to go into the -2's in the 3800-4200 range to keep from running so rich and stop the Timbersleds from burbling and popping. I love them for the throttle response they produce, but am considering trying out the SLP intake setup to see if I get better consistency. I feel like the Timbersleds do mess with the computer and the air temps sometimes. Your thoughts?

I have had no problems on the bottom end. "-10% for 20 sec"
All my issues have been around the power valve openings. Until motor has reached top normal operating temp, I will not have problems.

When it's up to full temp and grabs a gulp of hot air, I will have a stutter when it hits the power valves and sometimes it will carry it to 7700 rpms.

We were richening it up so it was getting better when my drive clutch decided to disassemble it's self. I should be have it going again this week.

When it's running again, I will be putting in the stock silencer so I can move the sensor. If the stock silencer with two pods on it won't cure it, I'll go back to the full stock intake

After consulting with Dynojet, Starting Line decided something was wrong with my PCV so they sent my out a new one along with instructions on configuring the Throttle Position Sensor settings in the PCV. This basically involves connecting a computer with the PCV software installed to the PCV installed on the sled. In the "Power Commander Tools' section of the software you go to "TPS configuration" and with the sled running input the sensor readings at both idle and full throttle. You then click "send map" and the actual settings are saved to the PCV map in the place of the baseline setting.

Bottom line is the sled started and ran perfect all weekend. It ran stronger than ever (higher RPM than I have ever seen), and was crisp from bottom to top. Kudos to SLP for helping solve the problem. The SLP single with the PCV installed is definitely a step up from stock on 2010 M8. Just make sure the TPS settings in the PCV has been configured to the actual values for your sled.

I recieved an E-mail from SLP about the TPS, and recommending a re-configure.
