Default procharger questions and concerns.

I just ordered the 11 psi procharger kit off a guy. It also has the stage 3 intercooler. I have a 95 with around 92,000 miles on it. I have also ordered long tubes and plan on using the h pipe from mac. I have 30lb injectors from a supercoupe right now, but i plan on selling them to get 36# injectors with a matching maf. What would be the best way to get this thing tuned. I know everyone will say sct, but i have a diablo chip as of right now. I figure i can probaly send it into diablo to get it retuned for a base tune, but will they be able to get as good of a base tune as justin since he knows alot about v6's. I Plan on dyno tuning her right after i get the base tune. I guess the key question i have is what would you guys do about tuning? Also with my mileage im curious how long before my seals start leaking from the extra boost. I had also thought about buying ported upper and lower intakes from a guy. How would by engine hold up to this.

If your motor is in good running order meaning good compression, not burning oil etc... you will be fine with your motor. you can use your diablo chip just go to there site and find a tuner local to you and get it dyno tuned. A mail order tune will never be good on a blown car.

Yes i know, but as long as i can get the base tune for the new injectors and maf. Then can have a dyno tune work out the rest of the air fuel ratios.

a mail order tune on a blown car is good for one thing, taking it easy and driving it to the dyno shop for a real tune.

USE THE TUNING DEVICE THAT YOUR LOCAL TUNER USES.

If your local guys uses SCT, the go that route. If he uses Diablo, then use what you have.

Mail order tune + 100k motor + blower = bad idea.

Even if you don't toast the motor, your power levels will suck.

I know this is the only thing im getting it for. I thought about hauling it, but i might as well get the mail order tune and then take it to get dynoed. I wont be running it hard before or after so dont worry.
