Title: My Gearhead Meth tune
Post by: bamsho on September 22, 2019, 12:38:49 PM
After receiving my first couple tunes from Gearhead,  I was able to send Matt a log with the car spraying meth.  Matt replied to me and sent me a revised meth tune.  Loaded the tune this morning and did a quick pull.   OMG, what major difference.  Car def has more power than before, no doubt.  She will def put you back into your seat.  Will do another log for Matt to look over and tweak if he needs too.  It's going to be a couple weeks till I get to the track, and I hope I get to the numbers I need to see.  If I get them, Kris and I will be going to Cecil County.


I really glad I made the switch, not looking back at all!!

Same experience. Power comes in strong and just builds all the way to redline. Addictive. I go through meth at 3x the rate now but God is it worth it. My LMS meth v2 tune was stronger on top vs GH non-meth. GH stronger low to mid rpms.

Now GH is way stronger everywhere and the shifting is amazing.

Manu, yes I think some new PBs are coming, even that major goal I want.

Well here is an update with my Gearhead meth tunes.   I have run a new local track PB at a 12.28 on just 93 fuel.  So on the way home that night, I did a datalog pull.  Sent the file to Matt, he looked at it and said I was over mething and recommended I goto a smaller nozzle.  I ordered a new M10 nozzle from Alky Controls to replace the M15 I was using.  I swapped out nozzles and sent Matt a new log.  He replied that it was a way better log than before with the M15 nozzle.  Even the butt dyno sensed the car was working better with the new M10 nozzle.  So I will be getting a revised file with now more boost.  Amazing how 2 changes to the car has made a world of difference.

What impresses me about his tunes every single time I go to the track is how consistent it is. With so many variables and how little I actually pay attention to launch rpm, my ET's are normally within a couple hundredths of each other every single pass. I usually have one black sheep run that is a tenth off all the others, but the rest of them are amazingly similar.

It's because that previous vendor you were using is relying way to heavily on Meth for actual fueling, which I've learned is NOT a good thing.

The Meth should be being used more for its cooling and cleaning properties primarily. NOT necessarily for addt'l fueling. Or in this case, being overly reliant on it for fueling.

Glad to continue seeing that you're experiencing continued, reliable, consistent improvements across the board with the GH offerings.

Exciting to see what 2020 holds for you and others.

I have been speaking with the machine shop owner performing my engine rebuild, he is adamant about me downsizing my own Meth nozzles as well. So hopefully 2020 bodes well for me to. Personally speaking.

Great update Brian! Thanks for posting!!!
