Tuner suggestions

[Jamesfast]

I need your guys help, I plan on the following mods; FRPP cold air, delete plates, Kooks LTs and high flow cat h or x pipe. I need a tuner that can give me a tune for my DS predator and knows what I need changed to pass NY inspection. Any suggestions? I don’t want to be swapping parts every year to pass.
Thanks

Are you on Long Island or NYC?? You can have the car tuned at Realspeed. If you're not you can try my guy he lives in Florida now but had a dyno shop in NY for years. Sal from Powersurgeperformance.net

I have run Brenspeed and Bamachips tunes and passed inspections in NY. Just tell them to be NY inspection friendly. With that said, I am off to JDM in NJ for a dyno session in July

Thanks guys, I have known Sal from PSP for many years it was a real loss to see him move down south. I will have to give him a call and catch up, I didn't know he was e-mailing tunes.
Zipperhead I talked to Doug from Bamachips and he told me he could not do it I would have to remove the parts and tune for the inspection.

When did he say that I have a tune from him...

What do they do for NYS inspections down there? All they do up here is hook it up the computer and thats it, if no CELs then all is good. Do you have to get actual smog tests?

Same over here but the S197 is very touchy when it comes to inspection... I needed a tune to pass with no Cats was a headache for awhile but I got the tune... Now I need that tune with the mods I have now... "friggin pain in the ass"....

NY Emissions varies by county. Dutchess you only need to pass a visual and not throw any codes where some place like Westchester puts you on rollers.

You can try Chris at EFILogics in Bethel - great tuner and has access to information not all tuners have.

Guys on the island here you need CEL light off and all the computer ready check have to be ready so if the 2 O2s are turned off you will not pass.

Here is the e-mail I got from Doug;

Hello James,
No sir, I couldn't make a tune that would get your through the emissions testing alone. The best way to ensure that you will pass the emissions testing procedure would be for you to reinstall your stock air box and then go in for testing. Afterwards you could just simply reload the tune back into the car. I do normally turn the rear 02's off but that is not the reason why you don't pass emissions testing with the tune as there are other tests that are disabled that cause these readiness indicators not to be reset.

Sorry for the brief reply.
Thanks,

Doug is correct, there are ways around having the rear O2s off. The problem is parameters are disabled incorrectly. Done properly you can pass without issue - my car passes with the tune from Jerry.

I turned my friends rear 02's off with my Sniper SF and he passed with no problems. Unless it is different like said above with the S197. I have not messed with them.

This is really odd that doug is not doing it anymore...

 

[Jamesfast]

Yeah me too, everyone I have talked to said go to Doug. I just don't want to have to take all my bolt-ons off once a year to get inspected...
it is just too much work. it's not like I'm changing anything that would make me not pass. it would just be the tune.
I don't know...

I ran a 13.0 with his email tune, I had to adjust timing a bit but I seem to have a CAI that not too many people are familiar with including him, but I'll take Sal's best guess over most peoples actual dyno tune anytime!!
